Technical Problems

Serves you right for flushing unnecessarily, you wasteful bastard.

Hmmm that could be it. I definitely flushed the FF cache to see if that would load the avys, but maybe not Chrome. Let’s see if I can restore @NotBruceZ’s avy from my cahce

I plan on putting in some more time investigating this weekend to see if I can find solutions to both the avatars and the image thumbnails on old posts, but I can’t promise results and that’s probably going to be the end of my efforts. Kinda want to get back to not being an admin asap.

If any of you are Rails experts, feel free to explore the source code and lmk wtf I need to type into the console to make things happen.

So is every forum that is using discourse and updated having the same issues or is it just UP?

No.

Ah. I forgot about that message. Thanks for your hard work.

Don’t know if this is useful. Seems weird.

So I have found a way to do… something. A promisingly named but completely undocumented task that - unlike every other promisingly named task I’ve tried - is actually adding data to the place where data needs to be created. Too soon to tell what that data is exactly, and the not at all helpful terminal output is just a bunch of ##### and ......., but whatever it is, it’s filling disk space.

Using the ‘Post a photo of where you are’ thread as a rough benchmark, image thumbnails and optimized sizes seem to be regenerating in chronological order of posting. After running about 26 hours so far it’s currently at early January of this year. If I’m making correct assumptions and all that holds, the whole thing should be complete in another 8 hours or so.

I suspect that if the broken jpegs were re-poasted they would likely display just fine, but I’m not going to burden someone with this obviously

Like all the recent shit I can see like normal

Nobody should need to repost anything. We never lost any originals, we lost the optimized resizes and thumbnails the forum automatically generates for each image. That’s the restoration process that’s been running for the past 26 hours and is still ongoing.

Thanks zikzak and everybody working through these issues to get the forum back to “normal”.

Embedded tweets are still showing up broken for me. Any picture or video is cut in half and hanging down below the tweet, blocking text that may be in the post. Is this an issue with the theme I’m using, or the mobile browser?

Thanks for all the work to fix the recent issues. It’s very much appreciated.

Seeing this on desktop as well.

That and the sidebar are the only things that I notice now that are different from before the update.

Seems to be limited to the Light and Dark themes and is worse on mobile.

afaik the sidebar is not coming back unless somebody wants to create one.

Not going to try to fix it. The “Discourse Light/Dark/Grey” themes shouldn’t have any issues
