Chat and other features not working properly

25 Mar 2013

There have been quite a few issues with the site the last couple of days - chat, messaging, gold membership, badges and a few others.

The issues are caused by the latest software update for the database software we use. We updated it at the end of last week, to resolve issues we were experiencing with it before. Those issues have been remedied, however, the update has caused other problems d'oh!

We are aware of the problems, and are working on them. Unfortunately Gav is away until the end of the week, so please bear with us until it gets sorted.

Thank you.

Story voting is among those problems. My attempts to vote on Frank Lee's stories failed tonight. I owe that master-of-words a rousing 5 vote as soon as its working again!

A site this size and complicated is bound to develop problems sometimes. But Gav does a great job of working them out.

Thanks. It's frustrating, but it's way better to be well informed and frustrated than in the dark and frustrated.
