Is this why the site was down earlier?

23

Yes, for 4 hours until I copied everything to a new server.

Yes, that’s true. I’ll try to fix that icon alignment in the menu bar at least, however, for the rest - I cannot do much as we cannot deviate much from the original Discourse theme. Otherwise, every update will be a problem.

Unfortunately, the forum was down again, but this time due to backup failure (not enough disk space) - I miss that part when moving to a new server. Hopefully, it should be fine now.

I made a terrible mistake - I was updating the forum software and moving the database around… but I did it wrongly and now I’ve deleted the most recent database files, thus I could only restore the forum from a backup 2 days ago. All posts made in the meantime are unfortunately lost. I’m very very sorry about this.

The forum was a moment ago down for 10min due to an update (usually, updates go without downtime, but this one was an exception). I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

Besides a regular forum software update, there are also the following changes:

  • the forum is migrated to a new server located in Paris, France due to reliability issues (uptime) with the old one
  • IPv6 is enabled
  • chat integration plugin is added

In total we had ~30 min of downtime and it will probably take some time (hour or two) for DNS changes to propagate.

Big ups Andy :+1:

Is there no way to recoup big ups from the lost 2 days?

No biggie, just helps to keep count for my self esteem / mental health

Do you mean for yesterday’s migration? We were just 30 min down, so you could miss only 150-200 big ups in total, but I think you will catch up quickly :slight_smile:
