DemonGoddess Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 Okay, putting up a schedule for the next time. I'll be setting the archive portion of the site to read only access at approximately 5 pm on Wednesday, February 10. I'll have it set back to normal access by 10 pm of the same day. Times are EST. The table sets and associated subcategories I'll be working in: bleach books buffy cartoon celeb comics ff When I get to the final phase, where the conversion has been checked and I'm ready to switch tables, I do delete the old table and rename the new converted ones. This takes approximately 3 to 5 minutes altogether, where you won't see any data AT ALL in the subdomain where I'm doing this. In other words, all blank pages, not the white page of doom, but there is no data to draw FROM while I do this last part. If you do see that, be patient, it'll be back up within a few minutes. Each table set takes a minimum of 45 minutes to convert and then check, so I might not get all the ones listed above done. Of course, the 45 minutes is based on the last set of tables I did, where I ran in to issues and had to come up with fixes. So, it could very well take less time this time around. I won't know until I actually do it. Now that I know for certain the oddball side effects that this conversion causes, I also know what to do to fix it all before I even make the tables live. That will certainly speed it up.
DemonGoddess Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Posted February 10, 2016 I'll be setting the archive to read only in roughly 30 minutes
BronxWench Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 For anyone wondering why they can't log in, we are ALL logged out until the archive is taken off read-only status.

DemonGoddess Posted February 13, 2016 Author Report Posted February 13, 2016 I've revised my schedule, because my RL work schedule is amping up. To ensure I get this done as quickly as possible, I'll be putting the archive in to READ ONLY mode every day for approximately 4 hours at a time. For today: 3 pm EST to 7 pm EST 2-14 - 3 pm EST to 7 pm EST 2-15 - 6 pm EST to 9 pm EST 2-16 - 6 pm EST to 9 pm EST Because I ran so much of the clean up queries yesterday, I expect for the character set conversions themselves to go more smoothly than they have been, as well as more quickly. The Monday through Friday times will start at 6 pm as I've stated above. I honestly do NOT expect this to take longer than tomorrow, but we'll see. I will do this every day until I am finished.

DemonGoddess Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Posted February 17, 2016 Refresh your browser, and if that doesn't work, clear you cookies and cache
justthere Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 I've tried that and it still looks the same
BronxWench Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 What is it that you're seeing? The site is definitely not read-only, so there's something else going on. Let's try to pinpoint it.
justthere Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 I'm seeing this Saved Photo And please tell me if you can my screen shot
WillowDarkling Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 Sorry, there is no screenshot visible in your post
justthere Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 Oh ok thank you I'll use my phone post it then
justthere Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 I'm sorry but my phone will not let me copy the screen shot on here
WillowDarkling Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 I think you need to upload the screenshot to a photosharing site, like PhotoBucket, or something like that, and then use the image sharing option in the editor window to post it in the forum. But I am not at all tech savvy, so I might be wrong. I can crash computers by looking at them funny The archive mods who can help you better are usually on a little later in the afternoon, EST-time.
BronxWench Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 You probably need to log in again. The Read-only period logs everyone out, and if you haven't logged back in, you might be having trouble seeing anything. Just remember to use the upper right hand fields only, NOT the center fields.
justthere Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Ok I have I'm able to post screen shots now. My first issue is that it's still in read from only and second issue is that I'm already logged in and I have to go to the home pagein order to see other parts of the site First issue:http://imgur.com/a/djVlIsecond issue: http://imgur.com/a/DoOXa I have no idea if it on my end that's has the problem or yours but please let me know whats wrong Edited February 17, 2016 by justthere
BronxWench Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 Okay. The first images are the new format. You should be able to click on a story title in blue and it will open. Or you can click on a subcategory link on the left for a more refined story listing, but that's not in read only form. It's the archive. The second picture is the archive home page. DG was giving the schedule so people would know what was happening. It doesn't mean that the archive is in perpetual read-only mode. It was an alert. As a matter of fact, DG finished the conversions last night, and there's no need to put the archive in read-only mode anymore. Try clicking a story.
DemonGoddess Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Posted February 17, 2016 The second picture also shows you as logged in. If the archive was still in read only mode, you wouldn't be logged in at all.
justthere Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 Oh ok so the problem was on my end . Thank you for your help
