Think of the prose lost to time.

Can you IMAGINE the INCREDIBLE literary prose that has been lost?

Historians will refer to theses times as the Dark Ages after this pivotal period of human enlightenment has been lost.

Yeah, I’m not real happy at the moment. GoDaddy did the migration without giving me a warning so I could alert everyone. Any posts from around 4:00PM yesterday through about 3:00PM today were lost. This was after they guaranteed me this wouldn’t happen.

Don't worry. I think I saved my best posts for literally every moment outside of this. I can't say I saw it coming. But perhaps I was guided by a divine presence.

Any chance GoDaddy can erase the post about a Skyline burrito from my brain?

Lost posts be damned. I want my rep points back for the past day…

Thanks @Irish#1 for helping make this site a little bit more reliable! I know it was a chore to do the migration, but I have a feeling it'll be worth it.

Glad Godaddy kept the annoying huge ads, top notch

Over the past week or two, I've started having a new issue when I'm visiting IE on my phone. A page will load but then freeze where it opened to. Can't get it to go up or down. Even if I give it a couple of minutes, it's just frozen. I have to back out and try again. Sometimes it works fine when I try again, sometimes not.

Happens to me when I'm scrolling past a post with a tweet embedded within it. It freezes my screen - sometimes for a couple seconds, sometimes longer and I have to back out of the page.

I hadn't noticed if there was an imbedded tweet or not, but I'll see if that's what's causing it for me too.

I can't say for sure, but that might have been happening while some of the work behind the scenes was taking place.

That was done specifically for you.

Well yeah that was one of the main points in moving to different hosting, site was having reliability issues and Digital Ocean made it virtually impossible to tinker with anything. So hopefully moving forward we can actually make improvements / adjustments. First thing on the docket is to what we can do for regulating the obtrusive ads sometimes served by Google on mobile.

They just wanted to make sure this still felt like home, you know?

Good Morning,
Some of you probably noticed we were down for a while last night. My apologies for the interruption. We got hit with a BOT. I hadn't had time to get some functionality in place, but it is now with some additional layers of protection so we shouldn't see this happen again.

I can't be the only one chalking up yesterdays outage to April Fools?

No it was the board of trustees

I guess it might have been a joke to the bad actors. Lol

Thanks, @Irish#1, you're the man!

I'm sure it's been mentioned in here so apologies in advance, but what's the deal with Tapatalk? Is that going to be down for a while or is it just a "me" issue?

It's not working?

All I know as at least every other day or two I go to check the place out and I can't.

I don't use tapatalk so I have no idea. I will look into this though. There really shouldn't be any compatibility issues, did this start after migrating to GoDaddy?

 

[ThePiombino]

No, getting a "bridge" error when trying to add IE back (see attached).

EDIT. Quick search:

This error indicates that the Tapatalk plugin/extension for your forum software (such as XenForo, vBulletin, or phpBB) is improperly installed, corrupted, or incompatible after an update. The server cannot locate the necessary bridge files to connect the forum to Tapatalk.

I know you're gonna laugh but I have absolutely no idea what Tapatalk or godaddy is. I just use my phone, go on Google and go to irishenvy.
