Oh wait...we be having some more major issues me thinks...I verified this poem today, but don't see it on the front page...and the verification date is wrong...

I think I've solved the mystery of the display dates when you verify a story.

Do I need to publish another poetry masterpiece for someone to test this on?

Don't put your feet up yet Gav.

The Random Story button doesn't seem to be working properly.

+ The #Stories - Avg Score - #Views buttons on the Authors Listing Page no longer work.

Well you did ask and I'm only trying to help

Unfortunately its extremely difficult to allow sorting on those fields. I only calculate those values for the current page, it would be too slow to compute this across all the authors.

I was kind of hoping no one would notice that hiding

Oooops...yet another "not good" thingy...

When you click on the friends icon on the upper right, the list of friends is not in alphabetical order as it should be...

Not good Gav, not good at all...

Hmm... mine has never been in alphabetical order.

I attempted to keep the same (custom) order from the previous incarnation. If you want the order to go back to alpha, choose the reset to default order link from your friends settings page.

Anyone tried the new Friends List Lite yet?

I would say Stories Space is the inovator here, a forward thinker on the bleeding edge silly

I wil still have a copy of the data in Sql Server, so everything it recoverable. I just need to be made aware of what's missing so I can repair the importer and recover the data.

If there's anyone I would want on the moderating team of a site thats about to have a major site upgrade, its YOU Alan!

Hello All

After many months, my latest changes to the Stories Space code base is ready for public consumption. This release focuses on a new database engine (migrating from Sql Server to MongoDB), however there have been numerous bug fixes also packaged into this release. I am planning on upgrading storiesspace.com site with this new version during the evening of Thursday 13th October (PST). The site will be unavailable for up to 4 hours.

Due to the nature of this change, I have to migrate all your data (stories, friends, profile) to a new data source. This *may* cause data loss. Once this site has been upgraded I would really appreciate if you find any missing data or errors in the system then you report either directly to me, or add a post to this thread. It is vital we discover any nasty bugs before we upgrade any further sites.

Please note, your activity on your profile page will be empty after the upgrade. Unfortunately this was not able to be migrated across. Therefore, as you and your friends participate in the site, the activity section will soon become full again.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers................gav
