Unexpected Service Downtime: Artistic Sections
Posted: Fri May 25, 2007 9:17 pm
This is a notice to the Artistic sections (Drawings, Media, Arts) users.
Somewhere around May 17th, there was a bug that prevented users from posting comments. However, I became aware of the problem only late on Wednesday (23th) evening. Since then I have been working to solve the problem and bring the gallery back online.
The good news is that the database and all comments seem to be safe and the pictures were not affected. However, the fresh version of the program that manages the gallery need to be modified to continue the job where the old one left.
Expect a few days until the issue is completely resolved.
I also wish to stress the importance of reporting such incidents immediately as it is easier to correct bugs soon after they become known.
