Up Down

So, between a few people being in the UK or not needing a book, we’re still waiting on the final selection. I’m going to send out another email after this, and hopefully I’ll know who is getting what by tomorrow!

Also, there seems to be a bit of a problem with the tag list on the front page. It happened while I was trying to tweak the backend, but I haven’t really had a chance to look into it yet. I couldn’t figure out what is causing the misalignment in the contributor layout, as well, so I’m going to have to keep looking into that.

It’s possible that I’ll have to disable direct control in the backend until we’ve figured that out.

Anyway, I also may be trying some changes to increase uptime, decrease errors and time outs, and get the site running a million times better. That includes having a private server JUST for this site (as opposed to being on a shared server account with like 12 other websites I run) and paying some money to an expert to help me optimize the back end. It’s a bit of an expense for my hobby, but I’m sick of running into errors whenever I try to do an update.

I’m not sure what to expect from the change over and the different things we’ll be trying, but I assume there will be a little down time.

Edit: This was supposed to go up BEFORE the downtime, but there already was a little rough patch tonight. Hopefully everything will be running MUCH smoother soon!

Thanks to TRO user Scorpioo for pointing out that most of Enemy Ace was misplaced. As he says, the story takes place in WWI.

So these three books have been moved to before Doc Savage: The Man Of Bronze on the DC Universe RRO:

The Enemy Ace Archives Vol. 1

The Enemy Ace Archives Vol. 2

Showcase Presents: Enemy Ace

I know you’re all waiting to see who got what books, but I’m still waiting to hear back from the random pick. So if that’s you, get a move on! You have four hours before I draw another name from the digital hat.

All of the current users have been brought up to date in our email database. If you’re registered, you probably have an email waiting for you!

Tomorrow I’ll have another fun update for you guys, promise.

Just a little note – As part of general backend maintenance, I’ve updated a few plugins. Most of them shouldn’t effect daily use of the site in any way, but a couple are part of the user front end. Those plugins are the ones that handle the Custom Login page and the Polls. So if you see any issues with those, let me know!

For now, the login page will probably be styled incorrectly until further notice.

This is a quick note and mainly for existing registered site users. We’ve changed some things around and now people should be getting the email update confirmation email after registering. It wasn’t going out before, which is now fixed. It won’t be going out for new users until all the old users have been caught up, though.

So over the next couple of days, any existing member will be getting an email with the confirmation link for email updates. If you don’t want email updates, just don’t click the link – it’s that easy!

If you want to try them, click the link. If you decide you don’t like them (they’re sent in a daily digest form in the wee hours of the morning) you can just click the unsubscribe link at any time. You can still use the rest of the site functions normally – Forum, My Collection, etc.

I’ll be making another update post when we are completely up to date with the past members and have activated it for future sign ups.
