Title: Let's try this again.
Post by: Asmodean Prime on April 25, 2022, 04:13:22 PM
Hello everyone,

Long time no see, pleasantries, etc.

You may have noticed some downtime on the forums. That was due to an update that failed in the most spectacular of fashions. The functionality is now restored and the update... Updated.

If you notice something missing/no longer working, do please tell us. It may be that some mods/themes will not work on this version of the forums.

[UPDATE] Some minor glitches while posting and performing other actions. They do not seem to affect the ability to post. I'll run a database check when I'm on a slightly better connection today or tomorrow.

Good, I was wondering whether something was amiss with my account for the last 3 days. The interface looks different. Is the old theme obsolete?

All the additional themes that were installed have been lost in the software upgrade. I will see if I can get them back, once things have settled down.

Relief. I was banned as a "Known Spammer".  On the other hand, maybe that is true.

I've had someone else contact me about the known spammer issue. While it may be because some IPs on the banlist got recycled to legitimate users by the internet service providers, it is also possible that there was an bug.

I think I've hunted down them bugs now. Do tell me if you see error messages anywhere - better yet, copy/paste message text here.

Hmm... It appears a lot of people suddenly got that one. Not sure what caused it, but judging by the text of it, some automated IP filtering feature. I shall dig deeper - see if it can be prevented from overacting.
