Hey everyone. I'm the new coder. You might remember me from such incidents as "the forums being down today" and "a lot of poo poo on the forums not working after it came back up". This is the thread where I'll talk about whatever relating to the technical stuff about the forums. Also feel free to ask questions or have comments or whatever.

So it turned out that the source code and config file repositories I got when I first got set up were not quite up to date and when I changed the copyright at the bottom of the page to 2014 and deployed to production, the nginx configurations travelled back to the before time and the load balancers dipped. So much for that. So hours later, it's back up using the newest configuration files but everything is loving broken still. Great. Turns out during deployment there's a step that extracts and minifies all the static assets using HTML comment delimiters. Only problem is those things are stripped out in deployment and I used the deployment code as a starting place (due to the fact that the live code had hotfixes in it), so none of the Javascript was getting deployed properly. So upon receiving copies of the latest templates with all the HTML delimiters in place, everything is hopefully back to normal once again, and my first day comes to a thrilling conclusion.

So yeah sorry about that and hey.

Taking bets on how long he'll last.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

that bug's existed before but it usually only omits the last post; when someone else posts it shows both of the new ones

in this case it seems to be omitting the past page

just like he couldnt pay the guy who maintained the advertisements hence the forums displaying ads that would install malware
