Since the last time I hit the forums, the banner's been wrapped with a <div id="header"> tag, so I can apply this CSS: div#header { height: 150px; overflow: hidden; } This keeps the banner a reasonable size and lets me view more content without scrolling.

I got to write this... Since adding the HUMONGULOUS banner, everything has been pushed down and a lot of times, it's "below the fold" of a browser. Uploaded art shoved off the bottom of a 1080p full-screen browser. Yeah, I got to scroll down the page (and my profile does that) but... I'm...

On doing full database backups, depending on what SQL server you are using, you may be able to do an incremental backup of the database. *BUT* that assumes you're using MySQL and can run Percona to do the backups. Plus, Percona locks the tables, so you may be scheduling a regular Read-Only for...

Work arounds among work-arounds. I doubt these multi-people notifications are being sent from a queue. But I would regenerate those notifications. Give folks a heads-up that the missing notifications will be regenerated, and do it. If folks complain, say "DID YOU READ THE FREAKIN' NOTICE WE...

Full update from Chase w/Dragoneer's approval: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6311970 In short for this problem: They're making code changes to not only stagger out notifications for less lag, but also to not send notices to those banned or dead. They're also cleaning up notices for the...

Probably another five days. They updated the notice and said "it's half way done" so I'm going to employ SWAG research and say another five days. I'm not even going to touch FA in terms of any notifications.

Nah, it's the only way I can keep track on the seasonal time shifts. Eastern Silly Time and Eastern Demented Time, because it's silly to be out in the cold and holding bar-b-ques as late as possibile every day anywhere is absolutely demented.

It is 10am Eastern Silly Time. Do you know where your submissions are?

So we can assume tomorrow the rollback is going to be finished.

I'm going to take this from a pure technical view (being a multi-language programmer). Given the amount of submissions, journals, notes, and notifications, the database itself spans several gigs of space. This comes from a theoretical look at what FA's SQL database looks like (they stated...

I'm assuming that Dragoneer is at the colo facility swapping hardware out with Yak and who else they have in tow. Most colo facilities got enough electrical interference to rise into radio frequency levels, so I'm assuming until they get mail service running (which I doubt is) that we won't...

If I can colocate an old Mac Mini for $40 a month, on a government salary, you can find a good web host for cheap.

BTW, I have been nice in not going into heavy technical Steve Gibsonian detail on how FA could work. Don't make me, everyone. It won't be easy for all of you and it won't be on FA at all.

Lets get down to brass tacks: If you're making a living off of FA, making it your home page... you need to get a proper site (and your own .com/etc). Many good artists do this (Lizardbeth, Gideon, Jasen Tamila are a few). Some mediocre artists are doing this too (myself included, because I...

ARGH! Dammit! No wonders why the two drives failed and everything backed up. Yak needs to stop pussyfooting around, clean out the quackjibber valves, swap in a slimegel pack, start up the transfabulator again, and DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS THIS TIME!!!

Well, stop poking them with a stick and start using swords instead! I bet Yak never did customer service before (which is often the case in IT).

Duraji hit it on the head. I don't fault the messenger, Mentova, but the message we're getting isn't giving hope to the faithful. Unfortunately, even Dragoneer also is being kept in the dark. Frankly put, people don't want to be kept in the dark. People want to be updated as to what's...

That was said two days ago. Seriously, what's the hold-up this time? We got programmers here for users.

Did that already. It's still down.

Duraji has a good problem with Weasyl. "Collections" and how they are implemented there are broken; it should be more DA like with both the artist (writers/musicians included as "artists") and the watcher in mind. Watchers should have the option of being notified on any artwork being put out...
