FYI. I keep getting logged out even though I check to remember me. Must not be very memorable ;).

 

Thank for all the hard work!

That is a deliberate action from our side, to make sure that no one stays logged in while we are making backups pf the database.

 

The chance of corrupting a database is a lot smaller that way, and considering the amount of time it takes to fix a corrupted database, or some kind of rollback to an older backup, I can assure you that it only is a minor inconvenience.

In one particular case it took about a month to get back online again, in other cases between one and two weeks, so we prefer to minimize the risks. Hope you don't mind too much.

 

Warm regards, WIm

Oh I remember all too well when the site was down a few years ago, due to that DDOS attack....

That was what, 10 years ago? We were still with a different hosting provider back then. It took me a week to convince them we had a problem ....

Thank you for all the hard work to keep this most wonderful site going. 
 

I mostly look at FPN on my iPhone.

When it happened, Pharmacist (? the guy in IIRC Belgium who was the one first playing around with IG inks in other colors) emailed to see if I knew what was going on.

He hasn't been on in a long time.  I hope he's okay.

Thank you all!

I have encountered an issue that seems to coincide with the upgrade.   It seems that the "ignore user" feature has stopped working and is no longer filtering out the undesirable individuals from my feed.

 

I would be happy to provide examples to the admins privately, if needed.

Me, too!  Ignore not working.

Could you try again please?

 

I noticed a setting somehow changed, indeed, it appears to have a new default.

 

I reset it, so should be fixed now.

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

Thanks, Wim; I tried again just now, and am still seeing people I put on Ignore.

OK. I just went through all member groups, to make sure that all was set up correctly, and cleared caches thereafter.

I only checked the Gold Member group before.

 

You may have to clear your browser cache, history etc. as well, and check again, if you don't mind too much.

 

If it still doesn't work as expected, it means the new version introduced a bug.

Just checked, and the ignore feature is working once again for me.  Thank you!

Same here.  Thanks again!

That's great, thank you!

 

Looks like it required the caches to be cleared as well.

The ignore feature never stopped working for me over the past month in spite of the software upgrade.

Thanks for all the work done with this site.

Thank you for all the hard work to keep this site. The upgrade looks fantastic so far.
