I tend to keep a copy on my hard drive, another copy on a flash drive, and a third copy on Google Docs.
Yes, I have lost an entire document.

@Wilde_Guess Humm bio worked when tested. Avatar should be working. It can be picky on image urls.

The avatar can be VERY picky on image urls.

The problem was actually a display related issue entirely on my end. Features work as advertised if used correctly. Thanks.
-
Verification & password reset e-mails are rolling out.
-
Congrats on all your hard work. We appreciate it.

The silence begins to ebb.

Got mine and worked fine. Can’t wait to be able to post again. Thank you for all your hard work.

**Quietly unlocks a few site functions.** Work has been hellish, been barely able to stay awake long enough to eat dinner most days...
-
Ate garlic? Sacrificed a virgin? Sprinkled the holy water to keep our pesky hooligan away? I’m hoping this time’s the charm to keep our website!
-
It’s going to be a bit slow, and there is a lot more account security that has been implemented.
Keep an eye on your e-mail, everyone is going to have to re verify their account and change their archive password.

I would love to strangle whomever in HR came up with the less is more policy. Running skeleton crews is not how one runs a customer service based business.

Skeleton crews are only appropriate on Halloween, otherwise, penny wise but pound foolish.

Oh yeah. Got promoted to full time the first thing management did was try to make me work nine days in a row.
That’s the thing I do like about my current gig… it’s paperwork and signoffs to do overtime, it’s illegal for me to work for free, therefore bureaucratic resistance against having to put in extra hours. Gotta love red tape!

Boy do I get that. Of course, I have a micromanaging DM, which is driving me battier than I already am

While it may seem quiet of the surface, it’s been quite busy behind the scenes for AFF.
We’ve been busy doing a security sweep of user accounts. Accounts with invalid or disposable e-mails have been purged.
Currently, we are merging the over 5 k users with duplicate (or more) accounts down to a single account per user.-
No worries, we appreciate the work you’re doing.

My day job has been a gong show of late, troubleshooting AFF's woes has remained on my mind.
Hoping to start the first phase of unlocking the site this week. So don't be surprised if you get an email asking to re-verify your email and to change your password.

Real life definitely gets in the way! Thanks for all you do, Manta2g!
-
I will never be happier to re-verify my email and change my password. Thanks, Manta!

Manta is a gem!!!

Full read only mode. Hacker attacked the chapters tables. Thier malice is wearing on my nerves. Dg and I will deep dive after our respective day jobs.

i won’t pass
-
That’s really annoying. I’m sure you’ll get it done.
-
What I’m hoping is that by looking at some logs, given the time it occurred, I may be able to find something out. Won’t know until I try it.

Caught the ass hat hacker in the act….. The ass is a member and targeting the story manager story info update. Restored the db from an earlier clone and have now laid a trap….

I’m making progress, turned updating off for now as I don’t want a breach while I’m at work. That being said, looks like they were bogged down by the trap that they didn’t get too far. You can post new stories and chapters, but editing existing is turned off.
-
thanks for your work manta!
-
We’re going to need an extra special wicker man for this ass hat, aren’t we?
-
Profile editing, registration, activation, and password reset unlocked.
Next unlock and backup in a few hours.
-
Partial ready-only mode, story manager unlocked. Profile editing will unlock in a couple of hours. Trying to figure out where exactly our hacker is getting in.
-
The only thing I know about coding is that rubber ducky trick.

Sitting in read only again for a bit, Ass hat hacker attacked again. I need to get a couple of hours sleep before I look at the code. Had to roll back 24 hours

Giblet those hackers!
-
I did panic post in general staff questions but then the forum went down. So i don’t know if anyone saw it
-
@InvidiaRed I saw it and took steps to restore what I could.
Now that I’ve slept, I’m cloning the db as a quick backup then I’ll be unlocking areas starting with areas that require login. so story manager will be unlocked in about a half hour from now.-

So my father-in-law recently survived a stroke, unfortunately. (He’s a real narcissistic ass) and that side of the family is pushing for my husband and I to send well wishes to him…. So, any suggestions for bland / neutral ways to say “congratulations on your continued existence.”?
