Defiance Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Hi All! As I'm sure you noticed, we experienced some unscheduled board downtime yesterday. This was a software program problem with one of our subdomains (the old Mod Blod which is WordPress) and so the host had to turn off the entire domain for some bizarre reason. The subdomain has been removed so the problem is fixed. We hope to not have any more outages, but just in case I have a link that you all should save! http://emergencyaoi.jcink.net/ is our emergency board. If an outage is more than a day for any reason, we can shift board activity there temporarily as we did once before. I can also post announcements there to communicate what's going on. At some point in the near future, B & I will be starting the process of shifting hosts and software for the site to avoid future problems. It will be more user-friendly and easier from an admin perspective to update. More on that later. Thanks, Frankie/Defiance
Hope Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Yaya, it's good to see the site up again Missed everyone!
Defiance Posted February 15, 2018 Author Posted February 15, 2018 I'm just bumping this so that you all know that this will still be the emergency board link. We're not moving anything yet, but save this link so you have it Our board has been a bit sketchy lately with downtime, so if we go down that's where I'll post announcements & updates!
Duncan Melville Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 As I read the first post of this thread I wondered how on earth I could be on February 15th, while that post was written on February 17th. That is, until I noticed the year! Man, I felt old and... unintelligent.
Caroline Despanay Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 If it's any comfort, I thought the same at first. I hadn't read the dates carefully enough. So you have company in your doddering feebleness
Sophia de la Cerda Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I was confused too, especially since the 17th is my birthday and I was sure I hadn't missed a couple days ... lol. But I have an excuse. I really am old, and tomorrow I'll be reminded of exactly how old that is.
Blackguard Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Sorry about this one. The site was down three days. After many attempts and reaching out to Invision multiple times, I learned it was a failure to update the boards. We crashed in 2017 because we updated the boards so we have been ignoring warnings to update the boards. Also, updates tend to archive old threads soo you can no longer search them, so there was that hesitation too. These boards have been very reliable for the most part. In the future, I will be updating the site periodically rather than let it linger for a year or more.
Hope Posted May 2 Posted May 2 I'd wondered if it would as too much for the server to 'digest' after the change of seasons modification and the big archive restructure. So good it's sorted! Thanks BG!
Blackguard Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Sorry team. I didn't get my service request in quickly enough yesterday because I thought it was just my computer that was having issues.
Faith Posted May 14 Posted May 14 I could not access other two invision boards yesterday either, so it was a site-wide event, it seems.
