REDUSER heart attack

[Jarred Land]

Had a mild heart attack last night.. I was able to restore all the threads but lost our o-so pretty look and most of your lovely little avatars... so go pick some new ones.

Also you might want to clear your cookies if your login is getting forgetful :)

Will try and fix all the bits when after I get a few hours of sleep :)

[David Birdy]

Thanks for burning the midnight oil to put out the fire and keep Red user up & running!

Dave

[Martin Weiss]

Yes, do get some sleep.

(And I just had a brief productivity spike.)

[Stephen Lovett]

I truly hope there is special place in hell for spammers, script kiddies, hackers, and virus writers.

I've spent a lot of time managing such issues in my former career, and I know just how hard the sysadmins work to get things back up and running.

Your community thanks you,

Steve

[Jarred Land]

Thanks for the support guys.. i know its a bit ugly right now but at least it works :) Ill get on it in the morning...

[David Birdy]

Nice avatar Jarred!! Who might that be???

Dave

[Jarred Land]

not quite sure to be honest.. just pulled it out of a thumbnail google. Looks like Carla Gugino from Sin City perhaps.

ok.. really going to bed now :)

[Ace]

Hey.. Great job ressucitating the beast.

[Felix K.]

Sleep tight! :) (is it like 4 in the morning in California?) Wow...

[Robert Frank]

Thanks for the support guys.. i know its a bit ugly right now but at least it works :) Ill get on it in the morning...

No worries! Good to see Reduser back!

[Mathieu Ghekiere]

Well... I like this new look :o

[Roberto Lequeux]

Good to be back. But OH NOES... the smileys, not again! lol

Glad to see the threads are back from the afterlife safe. Walk away from the light.

Thanks for working late.

[Jaime Vallés]

Thanks for the hard work, Jarred!

[Andreas Reischl]

Well... I like this new look :o

Me too, like where this is going....

[Steve Murray]

Also you might want to clear your cookies if your login is getting forgetful

Well one nice thing is now I stay signed on now instead of having to sign in every couple of hours... Can that feature stay working please?

Thanks,

[JosephArthur]

Good job. Thanks for the house maintenance.

[Tom Lowe]

Jarred, glad Armageddon was avoided!

Any chance you might be willing to up the avatar size to 100x100? :)

[Sanjin Jukic]

New RUF look is wonderful!!

[Vico Martin]

Jarred choose between the "SelfDestroy all R1 button" and the other one.

You did it man! :w00t:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

There's quite a bit of stuff missing. :cry:

Biggest thing I see gone is all the RED workflow section threads... Are they still around? That whole section is just gone. Had all the threads on LTO tape options and other things. Hopefully it's a temporary loss.

I'm glad it's mostly all here though.

[Jason Ramsey]

What's missing, Jeff?

Later,

[Jeff Kilgroe]

OK, it's an enigma... The entire RED workflow section has changed. It was a forum area with its own threads. And all the sub-forums like Apple workflow, Adobe Workflow, etc.. were the level below. Now RED Workflow is just a site section and does not contain any threads of its own.

It does look like all the threads are still here, it's just a site organizational glitch. Because I can find them by searching, but can not access them directly. Here's one of the threads in question.

I'm not that up on how vBulletin works, but I'm guessing that the RED Workflow section needs to be changed from a site section to an actual forum in the settings.

[Vince K]

my friends list is empty now :(
...was it something I said ;P

[Jarred Land]

Jarred, glad Armageddon was avoided!

Any chance you might be willing to up the avatar size to 100x100? :)

oh yeah.... maybe 120x120? try now.

[Tom Lowe]

oh yeah.... maybe 120x120? try now.

yeah 120 would be awesome! it says 100x100 now.

Jeff. Check the Red One Camera section now, and all should be as expected as far as workflow is concerned.

later,
Jason

[Joseph Hutson]

I thought this was the new look.
:iamwithstupid:

Just kidding. Thanks to all at Red for working on the cameras AND the forums. :thumbup:

[Joe G.]

I just thought this was the new "edgier" look.

The only request would be to have the word "sticky" in a different color, so we can quickly skip past.

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

we had some collateral damage loosing our avatars , but the new look is

Bloody WOW:party: beautiful

THANKS GUYS

[Graeme Nattress]

Just checking out my new Avatar. Seems to be appearing everywhere but actually in the forum thread itself...

Graeme

[Jeff Kilgroe]

yep, all there now... :thumbup:

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

are you kidding there is no avatars right now

[bernd katzmarczyk]

go ahead :party:

[Stefan Christou]

I've been getting re-acquainted with Scarletuser. Thanks mods for keeping these forums up and working. You are true heroes, even if you are unsung the majority of the time.

Edit: I love that we are all just "registered users" now

Stefan

[JanneJansson]

Some stuff can be found in google-cache for a short time.

[david farland]

Yeah..thanks for that..avatars can be found on google cache.
Keep on getting logged out though.

[david farland]

Can someone please restore my administrator rights.
Coming up, I expect I'll need to edit the dates in some of Jim's posts.

[Raul Gonzo]

I like all the gray with the Red lid. -one question:

subscriptions? gone forever or temporary?

[David Mullen ASC]

I find that the site keeps logging me out when I step away from the computer -- is there any way of resetting the preferences so that doesn't happen so quickly?

[tim brown]

I find that this occurs with Safari specifically. I don't seem to have issue with Firefox or Camino.

[Jarred Land]

its a cookie thing.. i changed the cookie last night and it take a bit of time for them to expire, you can clear all the reduser cookies from your browser and it should correct itself in half a day or so.. I apologize for the errors.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

At login, if I check the box to always remember me or whatever, I stay logged-in forever. Even with Safari or any other browser I've tried. Without checking that, you will be signed out as soon as your session cookie expires and that expiration period depends on both what this site allows and your own security/cookie settings.

[Michael Hastings]

Can't imagine what a pain in the a.. this is for you so good luck getting it sorted out.

FYI The Underwater Bubble Blowin' Users Group went from thread number t=562 to now it is t=552 and gives this message when you try to reply to the thread:

"Sorry! This forum is not accepting new posts."

Jeff,

For some reason, checking that box is still a no go for me. I have 'always accept cookies' checked in my Safari preferences as well, but I still need to add my credentials when I load the page.

I have no idea why.

Sounds like a cookie issue somewhere. I would clear your cookies, then clear the cache, exit safari and try again. If it still doesn't work, then you probably have a setting somewhere holding you up. Do you have Private Browsing enabled? That will usually do it since it will only allow direct session cookies.

[Shawn R]

Will our subscribed threads be coming back? I had a huge amount of subscribed threads, it was like my un-official Red handbook.

Jarred I know you are a passionate and commited Red employee and it shows, thanks for getting it back online.

[Jarred Land]

Subscribed threads are probably lost forever.. I already purged the old database and there is nothing left :(

Sorry guys.. I know it sucks. Could of been worse though, we coulda lost everything :)

[Craig Ryan]

Seriously; especially if that David Mullen thread was lost, that would have been a major blow. Thanks for getting the site back on its feet, Jarred!

[Casey Green]

Ouch.

Good thing it was saved... so what caused this?

[jbeale]

I notice user numbers have changed. I used to have a bookmark to see Jim's most recent posts, but it didn't work with the restored site. The new bookmark for Jim's postings is below (used to be ...&u=9)

http://www.reduser.net/forum/search.php?do=finduser&u=10

[Joseph Ward]

So what happened?

[Kenneth Elkington]

Is there an ETA on when RSS feeds will be restored? That's generally how I keep up with the forum.

[Andrew Gentle]

Yes, I miss the RSS feed too :embarassed:

[Jarred Land]

your wish is my command :)

feed://reduser.net/forum/external.php?type=rss

:)

[Graeme Nattress]

Got my avatar working.

Graeme

[Vico Martin]

...so this is the actual face of the Redcode Sorcerer.

from which astral plane are you bringing more blue channel info??

[Andrew Gentle]

your wish is my command :)

feed://reduser.net/forum/external.php?type=rss

:)

Thanks, Jarred! Working perfectly.

EDIT: There's another problem now. The Recon RSS feed is now filled with the posts Red Workflow -> RED ALERT! and they're all going over to Scarletuser.com with the RECON RSS Drone.

[Steven Hilder]

Is it me or did all the file attachments get lost too?

[Jarred Land]

File attachments are moving to a new attachment system... dont worry i still have those all backed up safely :)

External RSS feeds are all going to need to change the forum number to what is appropriate to pull from the correct forum...

[Jason Ramsey]

Scarletuser's recon drone should be fixed now.

[Joseph Ward]

Good work, hey you guys!

[Martin Weiss]

And the google search option is dearly missed, especially now that google seems to have caught up with the new, improved reduser thread numbering system.

[Frazier Nivens]

I can't resubscribe to the UW Bubble Blowers group. I got my Birger Thread subscription back in order but the UW group, it says NO NEW POSTS.
