So we've upgraded all the webservers today; hence the outage for a while

Anyway, so far everything feels a lot quicker, let us know if you notice anything weird

There are a lot of weird pictures on the site.

Well, you said weird. I don't think the admins are quite right either.

Does seem faster, though. Weird, but faster.

The admins around here are downright strange.

I agree it all feels faster. DK also moved it all to php7, which seems like it has a lot of good performance improvements.

The database was all upgraded too, so that'll help as well.

The load on the server has gone from pushing 6-7's to like .5.. i knew a upgrade would help but would of done it long ago had i known by how much..

Just posted a comment on the most recent photo from DK and got a plus 613 is down message but the comment is there. Weird.

Yeah I just noticed that too. Image comments t gives a 500 error but it saves the comment. The redirect isn't working or something

it's definitely faster, and the free cookies at the door every week is a major bonus.

what's the Netflix password?

would be cool to get vids back

I think I've fixed the image comment stuff; seems to work OK now, so let me know if any issues, I haven't really tested it (and hacking php isn't my speciality)

I've changed most things to using SSL / https today. Things like viewing images, forum etc should give you a neat little padlock when browsing in chrome.

I don't know why the gallery doesn't. I don't see any non-https content in there. But whatever.

Either way, it's now secure to send me all your credit card information. Let me know if you see anything more broken than normal.

https doesn't work anymore in BB code.
Butt dropping the s fixes it.

The other broken list is too long to post here.

Hey Carlos is this something you need because I got one cheap cheap.

Heh nah all good thanks though

We've installed our new core DB, just doing testing before cutting the site over.

2 x 10 core (20 thread) Xeon, 128GB RAM, 8 x SSD

Welcome to new hardware.. cyas in a few years

That Klown ROCKS!

DK is a jerk

What you guys do in your free time is none of my business

the 'new comment' icon indicator bubble thing shows up on pics that I have already seen the comments on...it won't go away even if I refresh..
can't find the button for the smileys

refresh does fix it...I was just refreshing wrong (smiley with confused look)

Yeah refresh fixes it. I'm trying to figure out exactly what is caching it so differently compared to the old core.

have to log in each visit now..can only log in from forum page..
(typing whatever smiley instead of clicking the smiley button is just habit now)

Editing comments is borked. When I edit it just sends me into a loop of no return, eg, the 1st comment posts and no editing is possible as it just shows the edited comment but never posts it.

Yeah, refresh will sort it, if you have further issues you might need to shift-refresh or delete cookies but it should be alright now.

Apparently I'm logged in for forums but haven't been able to log in to galleries for a few days. I'm able to add photos as anonymous but trying to comment on a photo as such brought up a message saying it was a hack attempt.

Okay, I just went to the gallery page from this forum after posting my last message and now I am logged in there as well. Weird stuff going on with the upgrade.

You could try deleting cookies for the site. Otherwise yeah just come to forum, log off and log on again.

The caching issue we had (which I think is now fixed) was well and truly messing up the login status etc. If you eg visit in incognito/private browsing/whatever mode and login I'm pretty confident that session will just work

Shift+refresh on the affected pages might help too. As far as hacking attempt etc, that'll be Cloudflare, our front end provider messing with that. I don't truly understand how we changed servers and the behaviour of caching completely changed to the point where we had to turn all page speedups / caching off on cloudflare.
