Fixed as per other thread.

Should be working now. The search service managed to get itself corrupted during the shutdown, apparently.

I'm on it. Should be fixed shortly.

Hi all,

The forum will be unavailable for approximately 20 minutes in order to replace a failed disk, starting at 01:15am PST (approx 15 minutes from this post).

Gameside will operate as normal.

--v

edit: All done now.

These are all gone now. They were phantoms spawned by people trying to access the borked nation.

Nation was thoroughly borked; restored from backup.

Sorry about that. A caching service that massively speeds up loading & saving times had crashed. I have now restarted it.

It's crashed twice in the past week, so there is probably some underlying cause I have yet to detect.

I have removed those two bogus embassy entries.

Yikes, that is one out-of-control region file. I have manually deborked it.

I had to prune out embassy happenings from the region history permalog, but everything else is still there.

Sorry, that was me borking the server while trying to track down a network issue.

The quickest fix is usually to turn the "no ads" toggle off in your nation's Settings, click Update, then turn it back on. This error can occur if the connection between gameside and forumside gets interrupted, preventing the setting from being communicated to the forum. If you retry, it s...

Is it possible to simply check if you are already logged into a nation without having to input the password/pin? It's not possible to check other people's session status. If you want to check your own session status, you have to prove who you are. So no, basically. You can't check whether a session...

I'd say the fact that there's no goddamn mobile version of the forums is a pretty big problem tbh. Are the forums useable on mobile devices? Yeah, but useable doesn't mean 'it's a good experience', ya dig? And no Like buttons! We used to be all, "Hey, we're not Facebook," but it's a prett...

A little bit away from the tables and images, but what happened to the colored names for the spoiler titles? I noticed in https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=618285 and I was trying to help out in a test factbook with my puppet Mini Me For Cards but had no luck. I tried a lot of ways to h...

We have a home-grown replacement that unifies forums and RMBs, but I'm sure it will be a blood-curdling migration, so I'm putting it off as long as I can. Unfortunately phpBB 3.2 makes some critical changes to its plug-in architecture that means we can't upgrade without losing essential functionalit...

There is a bug that pops up occasionally on very active boards about a week after the last database repagination run. It's easy to fix the symptoms, by running the repagination utility, but I haven't identified the underlying cause yet. So this will probably happen again, maybe around Wednesday or T...

There are so many regional flags, which I find curious. Would you consider adding United States state flags? The historical idea was to include all notable national flags as well as some that might not belong to fully-fledged countries but are visually interesting. It would be difficult to add US s...

Thanks for this. I've replaced Russia and Mauritania flags, although this may not show up to individual users for a while due to various layers of image caching.

Also renamed Macedonia to North Macedonia due to Prespa Agreement.

Got an example?

edit: I think I see it. Should be fixed now.

This should be fixed now.

Should be fixed now.

Should be fixed now, with the possible exception of some versions of Chrome+Android.

Should be fixed now, thanks.

Can you provide a screenshot of the problem? I don't see any issues with the Dispatch, but it's very long, so maybe I missed it.

Not intentional because I wasn't aware that Dark mode was doing that, but a positive byproduct, as it makes Dark consistent with other themes. Plain tables aren't supposed to have extra styling.
