Site Outage and Server Issues
So this is a nice thing to wake up to at 6 in the morning today. My server provider rebooted our servers last night (all of the servers including RoleplayRepublic's) to apply security patches but not everything started back up properly. In fact, so many things broke that I ended up just getting all new bigger servers to replace the old ones. Still, everything broke in such a spectacular fashion that I have to rethink how to structure the application to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Site layout should be fixed for all of you now. If it isn't, do a hard refresh with your browser or if that still doesn't work, delete your browser cache. Notifications should be up and running again. This is one of the things that broke in unexpected ways and will be one of the issues I'll be taking a look at this week.
Some members mentioned that some stories that they're expecting in some sections or lists are not there but I'm not finding these instances. If you have an example of this happening, please let me know in the comments by posting the story url and the urls of the sections you expect it to be in but isn't.
Others have also mentioned that their subscriber counts don't seem to be correct to them but I've checked these cases also and I haven't found any evidence of bad subscriber counts (everything matches up). If you suspect that your subscriber counts are off, let me know in the comments with the url of the story you want me to check and I'll confirm the counts.
