TitansGuru Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I've upgraded the site software as one of the measures to stop the 503 error messages. The update was to 4.2, which is considered a major release and is full of a bunch of new core features. Because of this, many things behind the scenes were moved and renamed. The design sits on top of that, which means that some things broke. Most of this is cosmetic, but some of it will require a bit more such as the likes/reputation system since they have adopted a sort of Facebook style where you get multiple "like" options. In either case, when all was said and done it turned the upgrade was unnecessary in order to fix the 503 problem. So, I plan to spend a bit of time to see how easy it is to do a complete upgrade of the existing theme. If it seems like it might be impossible or will take longer than I'd want you all to suffer I might consider rolling back, which means everything prior to yesterday would be gone. I am trying to avoid that, but ultimately it's about making sure everyone has the best browsing experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonboy Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Guru, did you see we can't like posts anymore? In all seriousness, thanks for all the work you're doing on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingDeath Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Please say there is an eyeroll reaction. Or a wanking off gesture for the really stupid shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashvilleNinja Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hopefully smoothing things out will be relatively easy without having to rollback, but do what you gotta do. Sweep the leg, Johnny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 A "hookers and blow" button, perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denali Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 So potentially, since the rollback would mean that the posts may end up getting deleted anyway, I can make really vile, disgusting, and offensive posts. Oh wait - never mind. I do that already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansGuru Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 While not perfect, I have it in at least good enough state to make it the main theme. Anything beats the default one. I will keep working over the next few days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Top priority: Restore speed and stability -Move back off of Cloudflare -Purchase DDoS protection from someone like Sucuri. I'm open to suggestions -Recreate old caching rules (for Litespeed server) -Audit of everything on the server and all processes to see if there are anymore potential offenders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
