Server Upgrade This Weekend 2025-05-24

Upgrade complete! Please let me know if you notice any oddities. 🙂 

Seems faster, confirmation bias? 

I never remember my username, is it possible to have a option to login in with email ? 

Hopefully it truly is faster -- the CPU has 4 more cores and I've added 8 more gigs of RAM!

That's a great idea. Stay tuned.

I anyone else having trouble logging in and posting?

I am. Posts go to Revisions instead of forum.

Yeah, there's definitely something weird going on with the login form. Each time you try to login, it just reloads the page. It took me 3 tries before it actually logged me in, but it did let me in. So then I tried the non-forum login page: https://rpls.com/wp-login.php and it worked in one shot.

Perhaps anyone seeing this that's having trouble logging in the normal way can give this a try while I figure out what's up. It's always an adventure with this forum. LOL

https://rpls.com/wp-login.php

It seems to be a cookie issue. I can't say I've ever seen a cookie issue where you can eventually login after 3 or 4 tries, but here we are. I tested with test accounts in 3 different browsers and clearing the specific cookies for rpls.com seems to fix the problem. Anyway, here's instructions for most browsers:

5. A pop-up window will appear showing cookies in use. Select the cookies related to rpls.com and click "Remove."

6. Swipe left on rpls.com and tap "Delete" to remove its cookies.

Note: This method deletes all website data, including cookies, for the specific site.

It seems to work once, and then when I log out and try to log back in it stops working

Clearing cache and cookies on the laptop seem to have helped there. I'm having less success, so far, with the iphone.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

@wendell 

Seems fine now. Earlier when I tapped Add Reply or Post, the little "working" icon spun a shot bit, then disappeared with no "Success" notification. However, whatever I had attempted to post could be retrieved by pressing "revisions."

This one right here shows 3 revisions, but I haven't looked at them.

let's see if this one posts.

Nope. It's a 4th revision.

Try again 7th.

Looks good now.

Fun times. Always an adventure with this forum software.

Alright you guys, it's been a really long weekend. I think things are working fairly decent at this point. Will put some more time into it over the next few days because I know there's still a few clunky things about it that I bandaided together for now.

I tried posting Sat Sun Mon and now Tues is a test post.

Did everything go as expected, or did you have any issues along the way?

@wendell I tried to edit that post you see but could not. I tried to reply to my post and could not. I am replying to your post now so we will see....

It worked!
