Server maintenance on 13. May 2013 |
Quote |
Due to recent server upgrades, to fix the new bugs some of you maybe have been experiencing, there will be a server maintenance on Monday.
This will take approximately 12 Hours and LAH will be offline during this time to protect your posts.
Sorry for the inconvenience but this one cannot be done while the site is up.
Hope to see you all again soon
Sat

As consequences, this update will fix some long-standing issues as well as improving our storage methods' speed and client loading and rendering speed a bit.
This update's main goal is standardizing and streamlining data transfers between all involved parts, thus turning our code base much more easily extensible and maintainable.

Sorry to disappoint, but this is a pure background maintenance. The site will become faster, and the site search will be improved, and will now catch missing posts and japanese characters. Please do not expect too much

Should start at around 9-10PM GMT, estimated maintenance time is 8 hours (optimal), 12 hours (no unforeseen circumstances) or a bit more in the worst scenario.

Umm, yes, but which time zone are you going by? 9pm for one person isn't necissarily 9pm for someone else.

Maintenance is now over. Took a little longer than the expected due to some unforeseen circumstances and hoster issues.
There will be a follow up post soon.
Meanwhile, you can report any issues that you find here or in the Help forum.
G'night.

Okay, here is the follow-up.
First of all, Ult here did some amazing work, and meanwhile apparently defeated the very concept of sleep.
The board now runs of UTF-8, which means there should be no more issues with characters of any type, and there should be no issues with japanese characters, either.
The search table has been rebuilt, and also converted into UTF-8 which means some lost posts from the past should now appear in the results as well as the general search accuracy should improve.
Due to this, the password encoding has also been changed, and while we were preparing this feature a bit later, this forced us to implement it during this maintenance. Details about this will follow in a separate announcement post and box.
The bugs like apostrophes or special characters disappearing should all be a thing of the past, as well.
If you encounter any weird bugs concerning encoding, characters, or post content, please let us know in this thread, it would be very helpful.
Thank you for your patience, we are back

Hell yeah!
When I open the browser, generally my first (or second) click is LAH so despite that I was aware the maintenance I visited LAH at least 5 times.
Thank you Ult for your hard work, I know your insane coding capacity.
Well, now it's time to share...

Sat: First of all, Ult here did some amazing work, and meanwhile apparently defeated the very concept of sleep. Rofl.
Also Frz, one of the old encoding issues that has been fixed with this update was reported by you around one year ago. Previewing a post with Japanese characters no longer turns them into � stuff.
This also means an almost complete rewrite was performed for certain mods such as the Japanese chars in title one. It now occurs naturally, so we no longer have to apply extraneous overly complex hacks for such.
As our sanitizing methods are now much more standardized and centered, and also we don't need to deal with broken encoding (as was done for basically all mods introduced last year), our board is now much safer and in future we will be able to add extra functionality without as much hassle.
