Have we lost the ability to see users '+1' tally in the left-hand column (where it shows their avatar, post-count, etc.), or is it something at my end?




Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

I removed that as part of the performance optimisation. The query was taking too long, even with alternative options and new indexes. Multiply that by the number of people on a page and it was causing pages to load at different speeds. The +1 count is still available on individual profile pages.

Also, sorry to anyone who received multiple forum reply notifications, evven if they only opted for once a day, or once until visit to the thread.

 

I changed something last night and obviously it wasn't the right thing. Change reversed now, notifications should be back to normal.

The old server has now left Datacom, almost 15 years to the date it went in.

The old Geekzone server lives. Just installed, above the current server. It will be configured for backup tasks soon.

Sorry, slight change. We decided to move the old server below. This is the final configuration:

The fact that this happened and we didn't even see anything, demonstrates a successful migration. Well done team!

Awesome. The most awesome thing, and a real tribute to those involved, it was seamless to the punters. Impressive.

Is it just me, or have emails become unreliable since this move? For example, I'm subscribed to the "Annoy" thread but the most recent email I've had for it seems to be from the 14th of August.

Emails have been very reliable to me.

 

Can you check your spam folder?

You probably have the option of one email notification per thread, until next visit.

 

I see in the email stack you have currently three topics you have been notified yesterday and not visited yet, plus another three topics notified today and not visited yet.

 

These are the times you should have received these emails:
