• NOTICE: Welcome back to Zooville! We've had to completely rebuild the server and restore data from backups after a non-security-related hardware incident. Please allow some time for the dust to settle. The site may be slow and not all features may work immediately. Intermittent downtime may occur while we work to restore the site.

    Latest backup was from July 8th, so anything after that date will have been lost but that should have been less than 24 hours of data.

    While restoring from backups we're also upgrading to the latest forum software.

Post reset issues

We're back - Baby!

Also - there's some funky stuff - as expected - that is happening with the groups - they appear to be visible even when not logged in.

When logged in - however, can't view the threads. I expect you're already all over it - so I'm not too concerned about it.

Good to see you all back.
 
For a while, I thought this bitch went up in smoke permanently
Can't keep a good cockroach dead - ya' know?

Also:
* message quoting button doesn't work, however - multi-quote->insert-quote works
* message reactions don't work (they come back with "server error")
 
After the disk crash/update:
* group membership is in a weird state: can see threads but get permission denied when attempting to view them
* discussion thread titles are visible when un-authenticated, both in main forum and groups - so search engine bots can scrape them - groups still show titles, main forum looks locked down now
* reply to post does not work but multi-quote -> insert-quote works
* reaction to post does not work

* email notifications for watched threads do not work.
* edit post after posting does not work

that's my list so far.

(Strike through means "fixed/working")

post history is zippo if it didnt happen today.
Link from notices to whatever post, even fresh ones, server error message.
I personally cant apply a like or laugh or whatever.
 
There's a workaround for the post history which is also the only way to get access to groups at the moment, go to the 'threads with your posts' and you can see your posts before the site came back online and group posts you've made, and yes there's a lot of bugs at the moment but it's to be expected after having to completely rebuild the site.
 
I went ahead and disabled the double post auto merging add-on. The forum seems to be behaving a little more stable now. There's a lot of things that are missing and most of the add-ons are broken for now. I don't know when the groups will be functional again, as that's not something I can fix. But the nodes are still there, so the group posts are still intact.
 
Groups are kinda working, getting to them now is a little difficult as you have to be able to find one of your own posts in the group or hope someone else does and makes a new post so you can find it that way.
I think that works for those who have admin powers - I wasn't able to go to a specific post from my browser history. But that's OK - it'll come good!
