[Chaotic]

@hek I just lost the development Forum. and the layout for the categories keeps jumping around.

@Chaotic

Yep, working on it. Settings in does not seem to "take".

I've lost my username phil83 - password resetting does not work, it always says invalid reset code. Had to create this new one to post here.

@pchrist

Can you try logging in again with your old user? I sent you a password reset email.

[pchrist]

@hek I entered a new password, after submitting it still says invalid reset code.

[hek]

@pchrist

I'll take this via email with you.

@hek Thanks a lot for helping. There also seems to be an issue with uploading pictures, they only show up as a link.

[hek]

I'm on it.

The pictures end up on server but linking becomes corrupt.

[hek]

Uploads working again.

[hek]

Created a new button in composer to help people insert code into their posts.

@hek. Nice! A side benefit of the upgrade seems to a noticeable performance improvement.

[AWI]

@hek great, this will certainly improve readability on the forum, thanks

The user "badges" has disappeared since upgrade. The will be back when the root cause has been found.

[hek]

Ok, badges has to be activated by the user himself/herself by going into settings and activate it here:

Hacked the badges back.

@hek I no longer seem to be getting the daily email digests. I now get emails when replies are made to topics I'm subscribed to though, which is cool. I double checked my settings and everything appears to be correct:

Just to be sure I changed to daily and saved again but that didn't seem to help. This isn't super urgent or anything but I just wanted to let you know.

Thanks,

Pete

@petewill

Thanks pete. Will take it with the nodebb team.

Has anyone tested posting codebender sketches since the update? It used to read the link and just show the sketch and it does not appear to be working.

NM it works it just doesn't show in the preview anymore.

This a test posting

Ok, this morning (europe) the forum server was massively overloaded.

Tried restarting it but that resulted in a flood of requests from the 300 open browsers trying to reconnect their websockets. The current server just couldn't handle it.

So I upgraded the droplet to a new plan doubling the amount of RAM and cores. I hope this will keep us above the surface for some time.
