Planetsuzy Problems - Please Panic Here!

[LarryO]

Our email client has not yet been restored. New members will not receive email confirmation needed to activate their accounts and new passwords will not be sent when requested.

I will post again when the email client is operational.

Sorry for this too.

p.s. a couple of staff members did not see my memo prohibiting posting content until all members posting permissions are resumed. their posts have been removed and they were sent to bed early.... without dessert.

[LarryO]

I was just informed that the index should be fully restored in 48 hours. Assuming the search engine and moderator tools work properly, we will end the posting suspension at that time.

Your patience and support have been much appreciated!

[LarryO]

Posting suspension has ended. Feel free to re-post any lost posts; they will not be recovered.

Permission to start new threads likely will be granted between twenty-four (24) and forty-eight (48) hours from now.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Are there things that we should expect to not work for a period of time? If so, can you post them somewhere (this thread?)? This way we can know what issues we should and shouldn't report until you tell us otherwise.

For example, I see that search results are still very lacking from a completeness standpoint.

[LarryO]

Search results are improving by the hour. If you repeat the same search you likely will get better results.

502 Error warnings will continue at least until the index is 100% complete and the servers are re-balanced.

We know that clicking "Thanks" occasionally results in an error.

We also know that the 'Report' function is disabled for many members.

The new celebrity pictures being posted are basically non existent after a week of not being able too, is it safe to assume for tonight new pictures cant be posted, even to threads that already exist? its been stuck on ' march 29th'

Fantastic,
so i was curious and im sure this has been answered but what happened to the site exactly those 8 days or so, i wanna assume it was a server upgrade/change and it wont happen again? or was that already answered somewhere else, will the site now generally be okay or did you need to completely overhaul the servers, i saw other forums saying this site uses older and a bit unreliable , was it just an overall system crash, or did it need to be changed/updated?

donado was promoted to Planesuzy Administrator on 20th March. He started clicking buttons he should not have been clicking. He is sorry for breaking the server.

Actually, malicious software found its way into the system and caused havoc. They are collecting evidence now and will report to the proper authorities.
