Title: FORUM OUTAGE
Post by: pwhodges on 10 Feb 2015, 01:12
Administrator Comment Sorry folks, that was me.

I was trying to fix an issue with the like button, and made a bad edit which killed the forum for everyone except people currently logged in using the QC-old theme.  Unfortunately that meant I couldn't get back in to fix it, and had to wait for a backup to be restored.

For the technically minded, I was deleting the part of a patch file that caused the Like button not to install in the QC-old theme.  I decided to comment it out rather than deleting, but used the wrong comment convention (the file is mixed XML and PHP).  Unfortunately, the file affected was the one that builds the framework for every forum page...

I read the title as Forum Outrage, which may have been applicable for some as well.  :psyduck:

What this teaches me is that I'm not using the QC-old theme, which given that this is the scheme I remember it being for every single log on of the past decade baffles me slightly.

No worries, PWH. I'm just glad you guys were able to fix it! I, for one, was going into Forum Cold Turkey!

Well, what I learned is the QC-old theme is awesome and I am awesome because I am using it.
Wanna be awesome too? Start using QC-old theme TODAY!
If you change it within the next five minutes, you may qualify for a 100% discount on the usage fees!
QC-old theme - embrace the past... in the future!

Pretty much figured. I saw the post about the Like button over in the other thread, and remembered the issues another Xenoforo-based website had with the software puking after adding things like that.

It happens. It's the bane of internet forums, sadly.

Is it weird that I imagined you as a grizzled old prospector while reading that?

Also, glad to know it wasn't just me with a borked forum yesterday.

I thought Jeph might have finally decided to go EXTERMINATUS on us.

Jeph is comfortable with how the forums behave generally these days.

So what you're saying is that we... don't try hard enough?

Alright everyone, get your offensive T-shirts on to get you in the mood and meet me here for some trolling. We'll begin by stating matter of factly that girls are icky and totes have cuties.

I think he meant cooties. 

I personally think girls are cuties.  Then again, I raised a couple of 'em. 

Misspelled raised as rased, spellchecker wondered if I meant razed. 



I might have...

Didn't even catch that I did that, but I mean, trolls usually have bad spelling, so that's probably what happened.  :roll:

He's no Kurtz.


EDIT: I just noticed - did I lose some posts somewhere? I thought I had more than 8k.

Yeah, but then the Inquisition has to perform a report and it's annoying and more trouble then it's worth. And the Ordo Malleus are just a pain in the ass at the best of times.
