We’re just grateful and impressed you can do all that!

Thanks BB

(Any professional would roll their eyes at yesterday's downtime however. I didn't think it through, so of course I had a cascading set of setbacks after the upgrade failed that took me farther away from bringing the forum back up. And I was on my laptop in the Vail parking garage while my son was at ski lessons, so that made it difficult also. I'm much more comfortable at my desktop at home with its large monitor.)

At least he had a fun day!

All back to working now, thanks Matt. A minor improvement noticed - the attached files once again show the number of views. This had gone away with the previous upgrade.

BBcode in the full editor is not working fully. Lot of the functions are not inserting the closing bracket.

What happen to the undo Topic Solved?

[matthew1]

Rick, can you try it on this topic? Then on another?

I was able to unsolve this topic just now, but if you can't unsolve a topic or this topic in particular, it may be because of a forum permission, a user permission, or either of those + nothing has changed and it always was that way. In other words, you've unsolved a topic but it was your topic, or you unsolved a topic but it was inside a forum where topic unsolving by non-owners is allowed.

I honestly can't remember stock behavior of this extension and my initial settings of it.

Ugh. All other days are 0 or 0.1, well below the marked 5% threshold. I'm pretty sure that graph actually represents a key metric (uptime/availability) in how a site is ranked... both the intensity and duration. In other words a big mistake like that day in February hurts us for 3 months.

Anyway, I spun up the MVS development server, hosted in a separate data center by a different host. I can't make that downtime mistake again.

It's actually pretty difficult to run the same site on a different server. I can't just copy down everything and push it up to the dev server because of the enormous size of the attachments. Also, replicating this setup we're on is not possible in a 1:1 way because of the different drives I have the server storing things like attachments, so I have to do approximations/workarounds. It's a pain, but it's less of a pain than a day of 9% page request failure rate.

Rick let me know if you find any more un-unsolvable Solved'es.

Rick let me know if you find any more un-unsolvable Solved'es.

I accidentally clicked on a Topic solved. Cannot find any option to reopen it. Where should it be? Screen shot may help.

Is the reopen option authorized for me? Is reopen locked? Reopen limited to moderators?
