Does everything work?

HA! And his example is a trout!!!

Hmm, I hit the ā€˜rebuild HTML’ button on your post and it shows up now.

One of the things that could be better is the header! Unless more stuff at work explodes, I’m hoping to get the differences in appearance between the main site and the forums normalized in some fashion tomorrow :silly:

Haha!

It looks pretty but it’s confusing the heck out of me. I’m sure I’ll get used to it and love it. Now to figure out how to reply to 3 month old private messages…

As along as we’re on the topic of things working, I keep getting some server error (500), whatever that is…

I just did a server restart, but something tells me it is related to a ā€œdisk spaceā€ issue I saw an error about. Your missing avatar image seems to confirm that has something to do with all this.

Welcome! I would just read the old message of vBkF and reply here.

It shouldn’t, since the import script didn’t attempt to move avatars. But apparently almost every time we rebuild the container, it keeps the old one around, and those were 1.6GB each. So I delete a bunch of those and reclaimed some space.

The 500 errors were due to database timeouts, last time I checked yesterday afternoon. I restart fixes things temporarily, but it could be that the image thing was related to that. We’ll see.

I went ahead and posted a question on the Discourse forums: https://meta.discourse.org/t/constant-500-internal-server-errors/21859

Let’s see what suggestions they have :slight_smile:

Once the server issues are fixed, this is extremely cool: http://eviltrout.com/2014/01/22/embedding-discourse.html

I will slowly start replacing all of the Disqus comments with the embeddable discourse comments instead. This way we will have one set of ā€œcommentsā€ as opposed to the two we have today - Disqus and Discourse (and vBulletin).

Well, unless I’m mistaken, swapping back to the old emojis might have fixed things… So there’s that.

:hamburger: … I guess the other posts above would have to be rebuilt to fix them?

[edit] Yup, I rebuilt the first one and that cleaned it up [/edit]

You can just refresh your cache, too, I believe. The rendered HTML is just an img tag, and by restoring the old emoji set the formerly broken hamburger image links are now unbroken.

They weren’t/aren’t broken links. It was the :hambürger: text. I only rebuilt one, you can probably see the others above yourself.

Oh, I suppose that if you used a non-working emoji during few-day window when we switched to the new/old kF smiles, then it’d be broken now. But it wouldn’t have shown up when you posted it, either.

If you used one of the Discourse emojis before I added the old smilies, and I didn’t rebuild your post then, then the emoji will now show up again, like in this thread: Descender-aware link underlines

We just got our first set of spammers earlier today! If that isn’t a sign that things are working well, I don’t know what else is haha!

I spent some tweaking the various styles and other things to make the place fit better with the main site. The most noticeable thing is that the header is back :stuck_out_tongue:

Sooooo now Discourse has official support for custom smilies. I tried adding our kF ones back, but it crashed/stopped accepting them after adding about 6 of them. So enjoy those until that fixes itself. :sure:

I need that AA battery smiley back!

Hmm. Does it mean that at this rate, in about 4 years, we’ll have all of our smilies appearing properly? :stuck_out_tongue:

On a separate note, moving the forums to a server with more RAM seems to have slowed down the initial load time further. I’ve gone ahead and posted a question about that here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/executing-action-latest-taking-a-long-time/24256
