Stand Firm Status

Posted by The_Elves

Greg G. has let us know he is working on the problems with Stand Firm and the fatal error messages people are getting when trying to view any article there.
We'll post info here as we get it.

And of course, we have offered to post any articles from Stand Firm over here on T19 should the problems at SF persist.
============

Greg G. has posted this update over on SF.

Greg Griffith
Update on Technical Problems

The error everyone has been seeing on comment threads is due to a bug in our blog software's comment retrieval code that is seen whenever it tries to query a database with an exceedingly large number of comments. We have almost 90,000.

Upgrading a blog system, on the road, during a major event, is a recipe for nightmares, so it may not happen until I return to Jackson, where I can at least have my nightmares in my own bed. So for today, in order to bring you news, we're just going to have to go without comments. I apologize for the inconvenience.

============
Update: 10:20 Eastern

We can probably offer an Open Thread for comments on the Network Council live feed here on T19. I'll touch base with Greg & Kendall and will post an update shortly.

Greg is making progress on the problem.  We can now view the articles.  However, we can’t view any of the comments nor leave a new comment.

While we can’t leave new comments on SF, we can still view the current/old comments by clicking the “Printer Friendly W/ Comments” link at the bottom of the page.  It’s not very pretty, but it is readable.

Here’s the latest update from Greg on the tech issues.  We’re certainly doing all we can here on T19 to facilitate news reporting and commenting for the Network Council meeting but very few are commenting.  It’s quite odd to this elf frankly… Have we so alienated SF folks that you won’t commment here?!  What if we promise to suspend all elf comment moderation for the day?! wink

Greg writes on SF:
UPDATE: To perform the upgrade necessary to restore comment capability, we’ll to have to take both Stand Firm and TitusOneNine offline while the upgrade is installed. Without knowing what problems we might run into, and thus how long both sites might be offline, I’ve decided this is too much of a risk today (Tuesday). Instead we’re going to focus on delivering news, videos and articles, and perhaps use some T1:9 threads as alternative places to do comments. I’ll try and get the upgrade done tomorrow or Thursday.

Well, on second thought, Sarah sounded just a little TOO enthusiastic. Maybe we’ll suspend moderation on all commenters EXCEPT Sarah!  LOL wink

The_Elves, I think we’re all too occupied with listening to think about comments - YET.
