The IP problems should be fixed now, too.

Wasn't that what he was talking about? At least that's the only reason I can see him getting IP banned, since quite a few users reported this to have happened two weeks or something ago.

Oh, no, that was just when my entire CDN had a ban set on it (which would, in turn, display to everyone that they were banned). I removed the ban and that was solved.

The IP ban problems, or users having the wrong IP?

Postby **Shadow Yoshi** » Wed Jan 28, 2015 7:19 pm

I was talking about users having the wrong IP, but both should be fixed.

Ah. I was about to say they weren't but I was checking the IPs of user's from before you made the change lol.

Why was the page down?

Postby **Shadow Yoshi** » Sat Jan 31, 2015 2:29 pm

Sorry about that. I was updating some server software and went to go do something else for a while, and then came back and it was prompting me for something (meaning it was caught in between updating stuff so certain programs, likely the database server, weren't working).

Earlier when I tried to get on the forum I was met with a webpage that said; "Error 502 Invalid Gateway," and that I was apparently connected to the forums via something called "AshCloud" or something. Did anything like this happen to anyone else?

It's called CloudFlare, and yes, it happened to everyone.

Another attack?
Also thanks for merging my topic into this one (to whoever did it).

Well then.

EDIT: Also wanted to ask, shouldn't the monthly graphic and episode be coming up soon?

The Registration thing should be fixed the last few days a lot of bots joined and spammed the forum. Most forums use Captcha why don't we do also it's like the best thing against them.

Postby **Shadow Yoshi** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 8:50 am

We do use a captcha.

Mable · Postby **Mable** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 9:10 am

Is it still the newcomer question? If yes it should really be updated.

Postby **Shadow Yoshi** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 9:11 am

No, it's an actual captcha.

I think that a few of the spammers recently have been real people instead of bots.

Are they all connected to the same IP?

Usually spam bot's IPs come from places like Indonesia.

"The submitted avatar is 320 pixels wide and 320 pixels high. Avatars must be at least 20 pixels wide and 20 pixels high, but no larger than 261 pixels wide and 318 pixels high."

I thought this was fixed, but can it just be left at 350x350 max and leave it at that?

Ok so the Episode Pipe is updated. My only issue there though, is that The Great Empire 3 is there as featured Episode. But if you click on it, it takes you to the topic and it has no dl. So whats the point. Showing a non-downloadable featured episode? Btw where's January.
