Issues This Morning
I have been working on doing some database optimizations to see if it will help with the "Comment Rot" problem. It seems that during this, some information that was cached in the database was lost including journal layouts and profile information. If you find this information is missing, you will need to reupload it.
We have not lost any entries or icons. Also please be aware that the comment loss is still our number one priority. We have some cool things coming once we solve this major issue.

I'm saying if it keeps happening; lke with any error, it's bad/annoying. =/ Like comment rot, loss of icons, and purged anything; it's another bump in the road; something we can do without.
We're all hoping it's going to be (like with the other errors, understandably) is a one-off thing.
But there's just the likelyhood that like on LJ, and GJ, it's going to be a reoccurance every month =/
Thumbs up and cookies for Squeaky for actually updating about it and working on it, unlike LJ, but still; new crap doesn't make the future look too cheery.
Unfortunately, nothing's ever bug free, but I think a lot of the database problems are attributed to the extra mileage. I don't see an end to it until IJ hits a critical mass where it's more or less stable and making enough to support itself. LJ handled it with the invite codes, and added a whole slew of features that actually made it better in the long run. I'm pretty optimistic about IJ's future with Squeaky in the mix.
Problems always come up when there's a lot of journals and communities being made. I wish people would stop spam!creating journals, and never using them; or when they create an asylum and delete it in 2 minutes so there's a
strikethroughed asylumon the 'newest asylums' list D:No comment about LJ; never touching that place with a 60ft pole. Hilarious that they keep covering up their problems with shiny new features (like v-gifts!), whilst Squeaky actually WORKS on the problem!
But LJ was different back then, and that was like seven/six years ago.
LJ is a joke; was a joke when they changed owners and the witch hunt began; thank christ for IJ :D and staff that can actually run a business, with no bullshit or looking to Christian fundies for pointers.
