META: Mic check
1-2. 1-2. Is this thing on? Has ngenix won? Am I the last survivor left?
are more survivors!
yo we're good, except the comments got weirdly borked. No idea why, since we just moved servers without touching the DB.
Out of curiosity's sake, what servers are you running? (if you feel comfortable throwing that out there)
I don't have the exact details at my fingertips. The guy who can give you the details is asleep.
And no moderation of comments...

+1 "Informative"
So we can basically have true pos bangs again right? Mathlete fire up Excel, this is going to get messy.

+1 "Insightful"
I agree, Make Mathlete do the legwork.
Perfect thing for him to be doing while you're trying to figure out if the site is working properly. Silly server admins. :)

For the record, I still get welcomed to the land of nginx when trying to view mgoblog on Chrome for iPad. App works, at least, as does Safari for iPad.

Cache/cookies cleared?
August 7th, 2013 at 11:01 AM ^
I hadn't thought of that on iPad (do it fairly frequently on my laptops). Will try it.
Also, i'm sure it's already been noted that our own posts don't show up yellow (or is it maize of some sort?) anymore.
EDIT: clearing the cache seems to have done the trick. Thanks, mang!
I think the addition of the "reply to [comment #]" is a nice touch. It would be better if it actually listed the proper comment # I replied to, though.
I'm guessing that the comment # that is referenced is the original comment # as of the time that comment was originally posted, and as new posts get added to the string those #s change, causing the references to be inaccurate.
Working here, too. I got a 'changing servers' message this morning several times, though. Then it went away. Then it came back. I cleared my history and it's gone for now again (using Firefox).
I still say MGoBlog is missing a huge opportunity by not going with better boards, even VBulletin is better than this. But it appears Brian doesn't really like the boards, so I guess that won't happen.
I can see the board posts, but not the main screen, I am assuming you know this.
This is like the Hunger Games...just waiting for the boom of the cannons
What are these webpages written with? Because an outdated version of PHP or something could throw your mojo off if the pages are written with a version that isn't compatible with the server.
POINTS ARE EVEN MORE TRIVIAL THAN BEFORE, EVERYBODY PANIC
Trivial? I just paid for my butt implant surgery with my MGoPoints.
MgoInflation. its a bitch. its a false economy built on defending himself from people questioning his credentials.
I thought the butt implant allowed him to sit for much longer than the average human, quickly allowing him to recap his point total over the course of several sit down binges?

Where's the UPVOTING button??? I was just sure that when I woke up I'd see upvoting and downvoting returned to their glorious, functional past.
I was also sure I'd get a pony this year for Christmas. Struck out there too.
This was not an intended change, we're working on fixing it.

It appears to be in the original post.
the optimist in me thought the same thing...
hey yall
I for one welcome our new nginx overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted MGoBog poster, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in East Lansing singles bars.
I had this nightmare my mgoblog user moderation abilities were stripped. I checked my karma and points and still nothing.
Yes, this, +1,000,000. Frankly this is creating a pretty good opening for someone else to make an mgoblog-like site only with better forums. It would be hard to match the quality of Brian's writing, but still.
everything looks different. hold me tomVH!
Brian didn't make the annual human sacrifice to the internet god, clearly.

Please, for the children's sake, remove this filthy image that is a reminder of VERY DARK TIMES.
EDIT: Image cannot be removed since I replied. Joke's on me.

LIES!!
down here in North Carolina.
Never experienced the outage, but was wondering why no posts on the board yesterday afternoon and evening.
It's a shame the moderation capabilities have disappeared because I have seen some of the funniest posts I've seen in a long time this morning and I can't do anything to show my appreciation for them. Damn this new world!
to the new sever side with all points and avatar intact?
EDIT: Indeed
And since we are on this META topic and there are fancy and lazing fast servers, what about new forum modules? This one is a bit dated.
Also, points. Is it just a dead issue or do I ever have hope of overtaking Magnus?
Every time someone tries to overtake Magnus he goes on a posting binge and just posts "yup" under a whole bunch of other people's posts.

..the fact that you have 10 less points than i do and you've only been on the site less than 7 months.. I swear I've had 60-70 points for like a year! The MGoMan is holding me down.
