Re: Mobile Version?

Seriously, I don't get what the deal is. This happens about once every other month. It's always line 117 where this: <?php }} ?> somehow gets changed to this: <?php } ?> and then the 403 errors begin. I've fixed it - please continue to post / PM me if you see any more errors now or in the future.

Re: Mobile Version?

That's a very specific problem to have. Only iPhones? We switched servers a few days ago but that's the only change we made....not sure what the issue could be?

Pingdom & Website Optimization

For those who like statistics, or have been getting frustrated by the extensive downtime on the site - there is good news! First of all, we switched servers to a significantly more reliable server that has a history of very good uptime, so my hope is that this will not be an issue anymore. Additiona...

Site Downtime & Server Migration

Hi all, you may have noticed excessive downtime lately (1097 minutes this month). Because of the unreliable server that we are on, we've been having quite a few issues. We are going to be migrating to a new server with better uptime history and more reliability. This may cause some downtime in the c...

Re: Malware Detected

Starting now - please tell me whether you are / are not getting the malware warning when viewing page 43 of the vikings thread. From what I can tell we should be clear of it but wanted to see what everyone else is getting.

Re: Malware Detected

NOTE: There is no malware on UrbanMSP.com and users were not at any risk visiting that page! Update - found the issue. I went to the page (page 43 of vikings thread) and found an image that was posted from the website (dallasobserver). Therefore we had the blogs.dallasobserver.com URL in our pages a...

Re: Vikings Stadium

HKS did a beautiful job with designing the American Airlines Center arena in Dallas with its art deco facade. It's quite authentic and high quality so it doesn't have that artificial look of block E. If they did something like that for our stadium ( i.e. maybe recalling the Armory) , It could be ve...

Re: Posting

What if we made a policy where the original poster and a number of the moderators could go through threads such as that one and consolidate some of the information into the original post according to type of template. That seems to be what they do and would be an easy thing to do.

I would love to do something like that. Something along the lines of an update-able original post (or a thread index) that gives information for each thread where to find the important information? Just want to be sure that we are on the same page. Let me know if you can find anything good here that...

Re: Server Downtime

Not sure - I didn't think it impacted us as 1. I haven't had issues and 2. Our only downtime has been a couple minutes at a time. If our whole drive was replaced as seems to be the case on whatever server they mentioned I presume we would be having significantly more issues. With that said, I could ...

Re: Server Downtime

Yeah...all good questions. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm not seeing any spikes in bandwidth. We seem to be the only "legit" site on the server sooooooo I have not a clue what the issue is. We're at 97-99% uptime which is relatively low for a website so I'll speak with the hosts and see...

Re: REGISTRATION ISSUES

True dat...I don't want to talk about it. My javascript skills are between "inexperienced" and "series of tubes" so I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to get the good captcha back up and running.

Update: I have switched captcha types for registration. I will continue working on the javascript for the sortables captcha. I'm not sure why it's not working but for the time being new members will be able to register. If it goes down again, I am working on it and it should be back up soon. Please ...
