Planned Downtime - Saturday, March 20th, 2010

[Farcaster]

Pen & Paper Games will be offline for maintenance starting around 1pm Pacific time on Saturday, March 20th, 2010. The total downtime is expected to be between four to eight hours.

Thank you all for your patience!

Ah Ha! Is this for the rollout of those site enhancements that you have been working on? *rubs hands together in anticipation*

[Farcaster]

It is. There are a lot of new things coming down the pipe in this update as well. The changes are really too numerous to even list, but I think you guys will be very pleased.

I, too, am looking forward to the upcoming surprises. Hopefully, two of the surprises will be geared towards my interests. hint hint

This are back up, as you can see. I've been sitting at this computer now for about 7 hours though, so I am going to take a break before I type up any official announcements. For now, enjoy the new site and let me know if you see anything screwy.

Lost my favorite button.

On the iPhone at least, the forum names on the right of the New Posts listing is white on beige and impossible to read. I do see partial names in places.

I'll get used to the changes in titles though. The header looks good though.

Thanks for the work. I know it's tough.

When I click on my various groups, I can't seem to find any of the threads. Am I missing something? All I see are the pictures, events and discussion boxes - no threads.

The chat was messed up last night, we kept getting Spam messages when we would roll the chat dice.

Invited to the game and for the first 30mins i couldn't see the typed text of the person who invited me.

not sure if this is a bug but...
The Chat log kept erasing. like when someone would make a new room or move from room to room, and sometimes for no reason at all.

There were some other minor problems but those were the main ones that keep bugging us

Im using Google Chrome for my browser with an XP machine

There seems to be some problems with the newest FlashChat revolving around Chrome. It worked fine on my version, 4.1.249.1036 (41514). It may also have something to do with your version of Flash. Try swithcing to IE or FireFox and see if that helps, or you might also try updating Chrome.

Your messages are probably in a forum, which isn't currently attached to the group. You should be able to locate it in the forum list under the hosted forum section.

This is one of the things that we may have to change our approach on in the new version. Instead, these forum messages may need to be moved back into discussions, which would show up in your group area. This is one of the reasons that I added the dice roller functionality to social group discussions.
