The forum will be off-line during the maintenance (probably for the whole day).

looks like some user avatars has disappeared

not sure if its really an issue or not

edit: actually seems like a lot of server stored photos are gone, the funny pictures thread for example

I’ve noticed the same thing. Avatars and images missing.

What web server are they using?

cyclopian · August 20, 2018, 6:30am

Dubstep_Warrior · August 20, 2018, 6:35am

nginx

mks · August 20, 2018, 6:36am

What country is the server in?

Dubstep_Warrior · August 20, 2018, 6:39am

dunno lol

4ndY · August 20, 2018, 6:41am

Uploads should be fixed now.

The server is located in France. It’s Intel® Xeon® CPU D-1531 @ 2.20GHz (6 cores / 12 threads); 32GB RAM and SSDs. It should be much faster then the old one.

I was just seeing if mason would get it.

Nice specs!

Dubstep_Warrior · August 20, 2018, 6:45am

how u find that out?

mks · August 20, 2018, 6:50am

nslookup and dig on the FQDN DNS records and then looked up the IP.

It appears to be a new IP than before.

We changed the way how you log in to the forum. Now we use Discourse’s internal log in functionality, without any external user DB. In practice that means less maintenance and the ability to register without FB/Twitter/Google accounts, but the old DSF forum will not longer be accessible with the current credentials. Some avatars could be missing. Native accounts should reset their passwords before logging in.
