New year, new panda in Site Updates (Josh)

Hey everyone,

I appreciate all of you that reached out about the issues with the front page not updating and the pandas that are showing up when you try to post. This is similar to the issue we had last year, but I’m also seeing issues with the auto-save functionality.

I’ve reached out to our developers to look into the issues, and will post any updates here as we work on things. Hoping this will be a quick one, appreciate your patience!

Update 1/23 – Hey everyone, my sincere apologies for how long this has taken to resolve. I’ve been down for the count health-wise the last few weeks, and my communication with the devs about the issue wasn’t great. That said, I just got word that they’ll be able to take a detailed look tomorrow night. A cursory look under the hood makes it seem like it’s the same problem we had last May, so the fix should be quick. This should also fix Entry Search, which has been borked. Will update if any of this changes.

In short: site’s not in danger of going away, I see and hear all of you and how upset you are about how communication has been consistently poor for a fairly long period of time. The lights will remain on. More to come.

Update 1/25 — Devs took a look last night, but weren’t able to fix things just yet. The quest continues tonight. Dayjobs, amirite? Who needs em.

Anywho, will update when I know more (or hopefully when things are fixed!). Appreciate everyone’s patience during the pandastorms.

Know that I have a high quality Mochi pic lined up for when we succeed. More soon
