Well that wasn't fun ...

Does the max users total still include spiders?
Is there a way to exclude spiders if it does?

Oh, and I umm.. 2nd, no.. 3rd? no.. 4th? Ah.. whatever.. I Thank you a hundred times over as well.

I think Brandon's birthday should be an international holiday, and CD should be turned off for that day, and the fans used to cool the servers should be used to fan Brandon instead..

Now to get a robot that serves grapes...

Oh, and we need a lounge for him..
What team was that who made that robotic couch again?

[Brandon Martus]

It doesn't include spiders (if they are allowed, or not) .. I probably could allow them back now that the server could handle it, though. (done)

Brandon -

Many thanks for taking care of your 100,000 customers who have come to rely on this volunteer project as the main means of sharing ideas.

Since FIRST was pre-internet, no-one ever envisioned the ease that teams could and would communicate.

You've created a great Bonus-Feature for FIRST.

Cheers - Vince

I've installed Alternative PHP Cache (APC), tweaked the mySQL settings, and allowed spiders back on. Let me know if anything's being weird.

The only problem I've seen so far is that on the old server, it was easier to keep up with the threads.

Can't load the firstwiki, seems to be down.

[Brandon Martus]

Ahh yes. It seems if you put 'skip-innodb' in my.cnf .. it will skip InnoDB tables. And FIRSTwiki uses them, evidently.

All better, now.

Great switch, we all can't thank you enough.

Before the switch CD Media (Beta?) was turned off, and many search engine spiders were also disabled. Could we re-enable them? Or even just the Google Spider, they are a sponsor this year you know, and well Google works really well.

Thanks again!

Thank you Brandon and everyone else for all their hardwork on CD! We simply can't live without it.... and when it was down or I couldn't get in... well... it was just sad for a while... but it made me do hw lol.

Thank you again!

The spiders are back in (as you can see on the main forum page).

I had to delete all the data in CD-Media so that I didn't have to transfer the duplicated/imported data. I will re-import them sometime this week and turn it back on. I hope to have CD-Media functioning enough so that I can turn it on sometime in the next few weeks. The major areas I want to finish up are: who-am-i manager, editing title/description and adding attachments to the papers. Once those are done (it's at 25% now) I will turn it on, and turn off the old gallery & white papers.

[Brandon Martus]

The photo & paper data is back in CD-Media.

I also have the in-line editing working for titles/descriptions on the photo pages. So, if you uploaded the photo (or are a photo moderator) you can click on the title or description and edit it right there. It's still a little buggy, but it's nothing major.
