Site Downtime

Post by robotman »

The site will be experiencing some downtime later today (around 4pm EST), as we start a migration to a new server. The downtime could last anywhere between 2 and 24 hours.

Before we experience actual downtime both the wiki, and the forum will be locked down to make data transfer easier.

So please be patient.

Well my productivity will be higher tonight with no new posts to read. Oh well.
Why are we switching to a new server?

Thank you for being patient as we switched servers. We now have a few new things to play with, such as a brand new image gallery which you can find here Gallery. This will allow a much easier way to upload images. If you have any problems please let me know in the feedback thread.

Currently the wiki is still in transition phase, I will update you when the wiki is fully operational
Thanks,
Robotman

Something is up with the wiki...specifically, the templates. To the best of my knowledge, it happened simultaneously with the migration of the site.

Bug report: The New Image sprite in the image gallery does not appear to have the correct CSS set to it--both parts of the sprite are showing. It should probably be something like this:

HTML (in that one particular spot)

Code: Select all

<td align="left" valign="middle">
	<a href="../gallery/posting.php?mode=upload&album_id=16" id="new-image">New Image</a>
</td>
CSS

Code: Select all

a:link#new-image, a:visited#new-image {
	background-image: url("button_upload_image.gif");
	height: 25px;
	width: 96px;
	background-position: 0px 0px;
	text-indent: -999px;
}
a:hover#new-image, a:active#new-image {
	background-position: 0px -25px;
}
Or else it's a#new-image:link etc. I forget.

This code's prob already been written somewhere. anyway that's the bug

Yea, I know, we are working on it. Not exactly sure what happened. Hopefully fix it soon. Currently the Data is all there though.

Any particular reason that the test exchange and the score tracker buttons don't work at all? I know I can access the tests via wiki, but still, the test exchange button was really helpful.

Certain pages such as the General Competition give me this:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "CategoryViewer::doCategoryQuery". Database returned error "1054: Unknown column 'cl_sortkey_prefix' in 'field list' (localhost)".
