Popular Post Michael Aivaliotis Posted November 1, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hey LAVAmaniacs! It's been a while since I poked at the LAVA server. There seems to be a lot cobwebs and dust in the server room. The LAVA software hasn't been updated in a couple years. That's way too long. I'm going to jump in and see what I can do about upgrading the LAVA back-end to the latest and greatest. This will fix many issues. Last time I tried this, it failed and I had to revert back. I didn't plan on it failing and didn't allocate time for getting tech support from Invision. This time I'm planning for the upgrade to fail and then getting Invision support involved. This means the site might be offline for a few days beyond the weekend. Sorry, but it's a small pain we have to go through for long-term stability and security. Don't worry though. This time I have a crack team to help me out: 4 1 Quote Link to comment

Looks like the site is back up and working. Let me know if you notice anything strange. Thanks for your patience! I just noticed we now hav a leaderboard. Cool. 2 3 Quote Link to comment

Neil Pate Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I spoke a bit too soon, now when I log on I get greeted with this. Seems I can still access the site though. Quote Link to comment

Using built-in login or facebook? I'm thinking it's a caching issue maybe. I see the same notification using regular login (email + pw). Caching doesn't seem to be the issue. There are likely some new parameters which weren't available in the previous version. Edit: Here is a capture of the requested settings (it says "optional" but if you click "Skip this step" it will continue requesting info): Update: Pressing "Dismiss" on the notification seems to work for me Edited November 6, 2018 by LogMAN Quote Link to comment

Do you mean the "Something went wrong" message? So I think you are mentioning 2 issues. One is the message and the other is the incomplete profile step. Quote Link to comment
Michael Aivaliotis Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Hmm, I'm not seeing this message myself. Try logging out and back in to see if it goes away. Quote Link to comment

I will try your suggestion when I get back to my PC. Quote Link to comment

I didn't see the "Something went wrong" message, thought we were talking about the "Optional Profile Information". Quote Link to comment

MikaelH Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Great job, look awesome Quote Link to comment
smithd Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 any ideas why this might be happening? Specifically, everything is bold, regardless of being new or not. I only see this on one computer, but its the same profile (and browser, extensions) on both. Quote Link to comment
Michael Aivaliotis Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Ya, that's strange. I tested it on chrome and safari and it looks fine for me. I notice the dots are working and the discussion round icon is dimmed. So it seems it's partially working, but not the bolding? What browser? Chrome? Quote Link to comment
