New servers online

Okay everyone, the 2 new webservers are online and ready to go. I have also set them up as redundant userpic servers (mogilefs storage nodes for those of you in the know). Basically what that means is that your userpics are as safe as can be. It also means that the load that the userpics can cause is now distributed among 3 servers instead of just one.

You should start seeing the site running a bit faster immediately even during peak times.

As far as we are aware there are no problems with this. If you are seeing ANY errors with your journal styles or userpics, please let us know and we will work out the issues as soon as possible!

    IJ runs and loads much faster than LJ at this point, YAY!

    Go, you!

    For a few minutes I did get an error message, any time I tried to read comments or look at profiles, but it seems to have come good.

    This is fantastic and so are you! Switching to IJ and buying a perm acct was the best decision I made this year.

    A Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family.

    Hi, me again. Just tried to upload a userpic that needed resizing, which resulted in this error:

    Error

    One or more errors occurred processing your request. Please go back, correct the necessary information, and submit your data again.

    couldn't parse upload: Unknown format for upload at '/home/lj/htdocs/editpics.bml' line 347, line 8.


    So I tried it again, without adding a keyword first, and got a slight change in the error message:

    couldn't parse upload: Unknown format for upload at '/home/lj/htdocs/editpics.bml' line 347, line 3.

    Anyway, I hope that's helpful. Cheers!

      Open a support request with that error and we'll see if we can't work that one out asap

        I've tested it today, and the error wasn't repeated. I was able to get to the userpic factory just fine.

        Bugs fixed! All working like a charm *touch wood*. That's excellent. Thanks for all the hard work.

      Youre very welcome. This one was a lot of work for me too, but its worth it

    Thank you for your great work! I have to second the opinion that IJ runs faster than LJ now. :)

    Happy New Year!

    Looks like you fixed the problem with uploading from URL I was talking about before. I've tried on a few different journals and it seems to be running much more smoothly. Thanks.

      Perfect, thats exactly what I wanted to fixed

    Say, is it normal for me to be getting a 502 error all the time? Or is that just because of these peak times you speak of?

    You guys are seriously, so, so great. I love it here.

    I do have a question. I have a game over on greatestjournal - with upwards of 75 characters there. I don't want to move over here until a) all my members give the go-ahead and b) I wanted to make sure if everyone does move over here, it's not going to create systems-overload here with everyone moving over.

      We are fine. And any time we run into load issues we deal with them. Read the history of the [info]announcements asylum and you'll see the proof

      We moved two rp communities and our personal journals here about two weeks ago, and we couldn't be happier. It's awesome how [info]squeaky runs this place. :)

        Thank you for that! I appreciate it:) One of my other games has moved here, and I love it. The fact that the staff actually communicates with us is so excellent.

    • [info]learntofly
      12/30/07 07:20 pm (UTC)
      The game I am in moved over 300 character journals, with pretty much no problem, and I couldn't be happier that we made to move. It's nice to upload a bunch of icons and have them STAY uploaded. ;)

      • [info]caprica
        12/30/07 09:19 pm (UTC)
        Omg isn't that great? I am going insane with 10, and 10 that don't STAY uploaded. Argh.

        Thanks so much for your input, it's making my decision a lot easier:)

        • [info]learntofly
          12/30/07 11:30 pm (UTC)
          No problem. IJ is kind of amazing. I'm so much happier RPing here than I was on GJ. I'm almost tempted to move my LJ game over here, too.

  • [info]cherrylipbalm
    12/30/07 05:05 pm (UTC)
    Your hard work and communication are appreciated more than you'll probably ever know. Moving here from GJ was at first a hard decision, because we've had both OOC and RP character journals there since September 2003. Once things started declining so rapidly there, and we saw how amazingly smooth you run this place, it was a moot decision. Thank you so much, and happy holidays!

    This isn't related, I don't think, but I'm trying to choose some custom colours for my journal layout, and whenever I click on the 'Choose' button, nothing happens. And none of the HTML codes I put in for colours works. Is there a way this can be fixed?
