August 16, 2011 5:22 am Hey everyone - it's been a long day and as you can tell, a very busy one. I wanted to take a few minutes and check in with you and give you an update as to where we're at. First and foremost, thank you again for your comments and patience about the new site. As we've said many times, iFanboy is here for you, so we want to make sure that you enjoy the new site and it's working the way you want it to. So what happened on Monday and where are we come Tuesday? I'll break it down point by point: Site Going Down/Unavailable/Slow - As we launched the new site on Monday, you probably noticed that the site was up, and then it was down. Or you got the down for maintenance page, and then it went up and back down. These reasons for these were several. First, we had to update the DNS information about iFanboy.com (basically our address on the web), for those of you who work in technology, you know that those types of changes can take from 6 to 48 hours to take affect. Luckily for us, it looks like after about 12 hours, we were fully propagated. Second, as we've moved to a new server environment, part of the challenge is fine tuning the settings. We've worked and tested the new site, but in a controlled environment with a few users. Once you set a website like ours into the wild, part of the challenge is to see how it performs when hundreds and thousands of people start loading the site, linking to it, and interacting with it. Thankfully our tech team at Graphicly HQ spent the majority of the day working to get the server tuned just right and by the evening, we were stable and handling the traffic steadily. Now hopefully we're out of the woods there, but time will tell and we continue to thank you for your patience. Comics Section - As many of you noticed, the new comics for this week did not go live until very late on Monday, and even then there seem to be some problems, like the Top Pulls on the homepage is blank and Your Comics list associate with your profile is empty. We apologize for this. It's impossible for you to know how complicated the comics application here is, but trust me, it's pretty complicated. While we had it working in a test environment, again once we worked to launch the comics in the production environment, some bugs arose that kept it from working. Many people worked very late in the night to get the comics list published, and will be picking it back up tomorrow morning to get Your Comics list working, as well as the Top Pulls on the homepage. I'm pretty sure that sums up the major issues we had yesterday. We thank you again for your patience and remind you that the way the site works right now, at this very moment, is not set in stone and the way it will be forever. We're constantly working and evolving the site, so expect to see many of your comments and suggestions taken into account and addressed one way or another. We apologize for the difficulties on Monday, we've spent the better part of the past month testing this new site and working with it in a development environment, but ultimately you just don't know what it's going going to do until it's live. Those of you who work in technology and/or web development can probably relate. So we thank you for pointing out bugs and making suggestions. Together, we're making iFanboy the best site around. If you have any questions at all, let me know and I'll do my best to address them all in the morning. Thanks again everyone.
