[Archived] We're Back

[wolfie]

Anyone else having to log in every time now ?

It's fine for me, Abbey.

[Glenn]

Biddy thinks he fixed to login thing earlier. But caching is a sod at times, so may not be fixed for everyone right away.

[cmb211087]

Doesn't seem to be fixed on mobile

[ABBEY]

Just tried lap top .. That seems ok but mobile isn't

[yoda's brother]

He would probably fix the faults though if I am not mistaken.

How much time would that save ?

could have a lot of fun with bans tho'

[thenodrog]

Not my intention at all, just explaining why I wasn't getting my hopes up. Especially as a short sharp burst of technical ability isn't what we need, we have that in spades (well, at least 4 of us), what we need is people with the skills AND the enthusiasm not to vanish after they realize being involved with the site isn't much fun (we have that happen a lot) AND most importantly the time to dedicate to keep on top of it (which is where we really lack these days). I'm not saying your nephew doesn't fit the bill, only that I'd much rather hear it from him (based on my own experience of people volunteering my time for their causes, not mine)

.... and this is rapidly turning into one of those threads that puts people off BRFCC (and yes, I acknowledge that's my fault) so we're probably better taking this to emails or PMs.

Ah! See, that's the problem. To use a car analogy (everything in IT has a car analogy), we don't need to go drop it off at the garage and fix that annoying rattle, it needs somebody to work in the pits, keep an eye on the telemetry and constantly both tune it and perform preventative maintenance. The problem recently is it's had too much of the first and not enough of the second.

In truth there must be loads more of those people about than there was when brfcs was started.

If modding is an issue just leave it to me n abbey.

Yes, me Abbs.

[Kamy100]

Yes, me Abbs.

Same here.

[Al]

Same here.

And me but it's not a big deal. Takes all of 10 seconds.

Is it my iPad or is this site a bit "creaky" at the moment? Everything seems to take ages. I could reboot but nothing else seems affected.

[DE.]

The site is working OK for me, other than the log in issue. But I'm browsing via laptop, so not sure if tablets are affected.

[47er]

Cheers.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Working ok, sorry we have lost a lot of stuff, 700 of my very interesting posts at least!

Given what Ste, myself and Ian all do for a living, it was all rather embarrassing, but as we all have day jobs, BRFCS doesn't always get the attention it should and we cut corners.

We made a mistake the any rookie sysadmin knows is unforgivable, we had a nice automated off site backups and an audit they were happening. But we'd never tested them. Only when we came to restore them did we find an essential database hadn't been included in the backup. An utter rookie mistake on our part.

So, this time, we've actually spent some money and implemented some ideas Ian made a few months ago, which include a second server,

That is what I call perfect contrition. "We made a mistake (which) is unforgivable..............An utter rookie mistake on our part."

What a pity the Rao family in Pune cannot use such language and display to us such contrition.

I've had no bother logging in on my phone thus far. Not tried laptop or tablet yet like....

[Rover_Shaun]

Just on PC not on mobiley

[davulsukur]

Works fine on both pc and moblie for me.

Although it fails to connect to the forumn via tapatalk now.

[otto man]

Just on PC not on mobiley

Yup still having to sign in each visit.

[Jock]

Back on the forum. Couldn't get in due to an old ban.

Thank you to great admin for sorting out.

I felt like a victim ( it's never my fault ).

[K-Hod]

Just logged in on the laptop for the first time and it appears I got cocky....

I've lost 2.5k posts and visited 2 less grounds apparently!

Wow, 2.5K posts in 10 months? They must have been quality

That reminds me on the grounds though, I need to update them as they are still last seasons.

Update: Think that's fixed now. Someone let me know if I've cocked something up.

[cmb211087]

I have mentioned this to Glenn on Twitter but I am now really having problems with login.

On Chrome, I can click sign in, but it does absolutely nothing (other than close the sign in page), just gives me the sign in link again. So I can't post, go to my last read post etc.

The weird thing is, it will show me in the online list as being online! Also working fine on IE (posting from that now). I don't know if it is because I used Chrome when you did the original login fix and some cookies have got confused somewhere or what not. Have done the usual clear cache/cookies etc too.

Edit: Since I logged in then out of IE the chrome way is working again, very weird.

Got back in after a struggle, was not accepting my paswword, or resending reset password requests.

Luckily I keep most of my emails and went back to an old password from a pw request email.

Thankfully it has expunged my visit to Brentford pre-Xmas, one to forget!

I lost my "ignores" (sniff)!
