Downtime ahead! [now finished]

[Rejistania]

Maybe the admins are ahead of schedule? Or the game has become sentient and killed them all.

I want you to describe it. Now.

The server were slow as if they were hosted on a 486, using a dialup connection. 14.4 kbps. From Liberia. Only when the Yankistanis went into teir beds to dream of eagles and guns, only then were the forums usable. I set an alarm clock for these times. They became unusable again when the EUropeans flooded them before school though. If you clicked on a late page in the forums, you would get an error message because people would have deleted doubleposts and the forum could not cope with that. The IRC was rife with jokes about things to slap the forums with (large trouts, forum whacking sticks, Alan Belmore (the IC character from The Belmore Family, a nation from back in the days), small nukes, etc). They were horrible times!

I love how this thread has just evolved into an equivalent of everyone sitting around a campfire talking about NS

Reminds me of a recent xkcd

[United States of Conner]

Do I see downtime ending ahead of schedule for once?

[Rejistania]

Or maybe Autoconfig has gotten onto the servers: http://m.xkcd.com/416/

Surviving.
I feel good.

It ain't over till it's over.

[Sensorland]

It's almost over! Ten minutes!

[Drawkland]

Do I see downtime ending ahead of schedule for once?

Probably not.

Anyway, anyone else not having this thread present in "View Your Posts"? I've posted in a new thread and another thread got posted in and both threads show up correctly in the list, so I assume it's some magical quality Announcement threads have. Why do they do this? Does anyone with modly power know?

Let's take bets on what color the site will be when it comes back.

I vote a sort of odd pinkish-orange.

[Rejistania]

Oooooh. 10 minutes‽ Can'twait, can'twait, can'twait! Giddy giddy giddy!

@Astrolinium: white. Like completely white, like server delivering a blank site white.

[The Candy Of Bottles]

Site's up!

Yeah, I was going by [v]'s ETA. I wasn't really checking gameside at all until now.

[Freechrist]

Got some Icons going rouge where the achievements are

[Cre Drago]

[Rejistania]

region ranks are not their

Hey violet

The site is a little screwy.
The some trophies are on the top of the page when you overview your nation. And the trophy page does not show regional trophies earned.

The trophies on the top are intentional. They are your top 3 trophies. And the issue with regional trophies is fixing itself as the major update runs. (At least, that's what I'm seeing.) I saw it too, so I know what you're talking about.

>.> trophies, nswiki, world assembly, and world trophies icons are duplicated where the trophies are meant to be.

what I like is now, I don't have to wait a whole day for legislation to pass or get a new issue - only thing I don't like is: being asked to confirm if I want to dismiss the issue.

This. The "dismiss all issues" button needs to come back. It's a handy little time saver.

Also, some of the icons for your regional/world rankings aren't working properly. The way it looks right now I can't tell which ones aren't working. A lot of the colors are now gold, which I thought was reserved for #1 nations only?

Will continue to look around for other bugs and problems, but everything looks decent aside from that.

Uhh... The fonts are too big and the cluster of symbols looks irritating.
