After updating the NGC and PMG boards we found there was an issue with the remember me function. Users had to log out and clear their cookies and cache to successfully get back into the boards. There will be a brief outage later today to hopefully address that issue. We look forward to getting through the update tomorrow and handle any issues immediately. That's awesome and good news! Is there an estimate on how long the update will take? either way thank you for the update message! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator dena Posted October 19, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm told the update shouldn't take more than an hour and actually may take just a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the previous URL through browser tabs or bookmarks will only draw the 502 as they are no longer valid. This was supposed to fix the 500 errors and the login issues.

ADAMANTIUM Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) We find out through trial and error of log in that the url changed in the thread is why I posted it.

Spot on Mark. After a few unsuccessful attempts at accessing the forum via my browser's bookmark, I tried the main CGC site and found that was working. I then clicked on the forum link from there and found that was working. Whenever things go wrong, you just try all the usual tricks and sooner or later you're back in. It's a shame that a great many people probably assumed the error message meant that the upgrade was still running, or was problematic. The site has been down for 48 hours before, so it would be reasonable to make that assumption.

Most members didn't read Dena's announcement thread anyway, so most wouldn't have even known the update was due. It probably wasn't a good idea to sticky it to the top of CG as many members don't visit that forum and even those that do would likely have missed it, as they are used to skimming past the largely redundant, now familiar stickies at the top. Maybe the announcement section would have been a better location, as that is visible from the main page, or even a moving banner message which is possible here (Scott did it when the journals migrated). Everyone saw that. Anyway, everyone will find their way back eventually, in various states of indignancy, and then it will just be a case of whether the upgrade worked, and the 500 errors have been banished onlyweaknesskryptonite, ADAMANTIUM and Point Five 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they'll just get a 502 error. Get Marwood & I, snitzer and awakeintheashes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Marwood & I Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I've had two 3-5 minute spells of buffering today. Two tabs open awaiting CGC, nothing coming through.

707comics Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It appears they have changed URLs for the forums? It used to be like:https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/61-goldensilverbronze-age-only/ As of this morning I noticed that the URLs are now like this (not sure when the change was made):https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/61-goldensilverbronze-age-only/ I would suggest using the boards.cgccomics.com as I have not had a single 502 error / login issue since using the "new" URLS.

Still we need to get word of mouth going off the boards, or any friends to tell them, trying to read the forums not logged in is a slog.
