I don't know if it was a specific problem that Pixy fixed and/or if it was a matter of simply moving to the new servers, but my blog e-mail is now working!!

W00t!!

Thanks Pixy!!

BTW Pixy.....what is your e-mail address? I should have it, but don't.

1 It was the move to the new servers, which allowed me to straighten out the mess that we'd gotten into after the DDoS attacks.

My blog has this meta:

Generated by this:

In other words: MTPublishCharset is iso-8859-1 instead of utf-8.

Is this right?

Hey, bandwidth hog here. I was uploading an image and it didn't 1) give me the option of creating just the html without creating a new post or - more importantly - 2) making a thumbnail of the image. Is MT screwed up or is this a new Moo Noo thing?

Posted by: Gary at 03:25 AM | Comments (23) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

Since the switch to the new server, I noticed that on several blogs that have us listed (using Blogroll), there doesn't appear a "New" (or whatever word indicates we've updated our blog) anymore. We've long had a ping set up for Blogroll in our preferences; we even tried manually pinging our blog using Blogroll's manual ping form -- but it still wouldn't show that we updated our blog.

Any ideas?

Posted by: Rhodey at 09:52 PM | Comments (40) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

Movable Type is acting strange and annoying. Not necessarily MT's fault though, given the weird setup we have.

Anyway, a bunch of blogs went blank. Rebuilding them was... iffy. I have no idea why that is; it was working; it should have worked.

I went and reset all the permissions on the MT2.6 blogs to something simpler, and rebuilt the ones that are listed below, and they all seem to be fine now. (Munuviana went blank somewhere along the way, so I rebuilt that too.)

If your blog has gone blank, either edit and save your most recent post, or go into Rebuild Site and choose Rebuild Indexes.

If that doesn't work, post here. I might need to upgrade my bug gun to a larger calibre.

What the...? Did I do something wrong? I just made two posts, very straightforward, and they did appear when I refreshed the site. Now this.

I just rebuilt my site and it disappeared from view in the browser. I can still log in to the editing and utilities for it, but the blog does not appear to be visible. It just displays a blank page.

I did not add any code to any templates, either. I just rebuilt after deleting one of those funky "A"s (and adding a "-") from my inline comments template.

Whatever happened?

UPDATE: Well, the blog is back online. How did I manage that? By unpublishing one of my published posts. The blog came back immediately following that. I republished that post and the blog stayed online.

A mystery.

Pixy,

Sacto Dan ask that I put up a help sign. When he logs into MT, he has Ellis Island and Munuviana but not his own blog. Can you take a look when you get a chance?

Thanks,

SR

I've re-enabled Trickle posting.

If you wanted to be added to the Trickle list, leave a comment here.

Try putting

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

The only problem is this might fix your old posts and then break your new posts. But give it a try.

A couple days ago Jordana asked about Trickle. It hasn't been working on my blog since trackbacks stopped working. And I tested it today and it's still not working. Does it work for anyone else who's been using it, or is it just me?

Posted by: Ogre at 01:00 PM | Comments (34) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

We had some sort of code-page glitch while transferring the blog database across, and people who use Word or similar fancy-pants editors to create posts got bit.

I can fix it, but what would help is a list of what used to be, and what now is.

So for example, apostrophes got replaced by ’ and ó got replaced by ó.

Post your examples in the comments and I'll write a program to hunt them down and kill fix them all.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at 02:10 AM | Comments (95) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

One thing I've noticed since the "switch" is that many letter characters have changed. For instance, apostrophes and characters with accents are now all buggy. Here's an example from an old archived post of ours :

Arthur Chrenkoff, whose "Good News from Iraq" was a fantastic alternative to what you usually would see in the mainstream media, is saying adiós to the blogosphere.

Check the highlighted underlined word. There are many of these throughout the blog now.

Also, the search function now brings up "Error 500: Bugger." FYI.

1 I'm having that problem with quotes etc, and I know Bou is too.

Posted by: caltechgirl @ at October 09, 2006 11:20 PM

2 I have a "’" showing up in place of apostrophes. But it seems only in places where I have blockquotes. And only in some, not all.

Wicked weird.

Posted by: Gary @ at October 10, 2006 12:25 AM

3 I'm having the apostophe and quotation mark problems, too. I have only noted it within blockquotes so far.

Posted by: Dave @ at October 10, 2006 01:48 AM

Still need to work on the squigglies.

People trying to ping my posts with trackbacks from relevant posts of their own are getting "Error 500: Bugger". I assume this is at the server end and not my own...

I sure screwed something up. I'm stupid. When I try to post, I get this error.

Pixy, can you help?

All I want to say is, once again, thank you Pixy, from me and Merri.

Anyone else who wants to show their appreciation of teh d00d leave a comment.

Thank you so much for your hard work.

When you get rich off of Minx, make sure you jet in to meet us sometime, so I can buy you a Foster's. Yeah, I know, Foster's is really Australian for "Diarrhea we convinced Americans to drink" but it's the best we got here.

Kidding aside, we really do mean this. You are the best.

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else... and it's certainly not earthshakingly bad or in need of instant fix, but if you could figure out what's going on eventually and let me know Pixy, that would be cool.

Several places on my blog posts - like the brackets around my category and next to the "show comments" extension, have an A with a thing over it rather than the "greater than" "less than" signs. I did a rebuild of indexes, but that didn't change anything, so I assume the problem lies elsewhere. If I paid some attention to blog software, I'd probably be able to figure it out - but I don't, so I can't.

When you have a spare moment or two, give it a look.

Thanks much. BTW - smooth move as far as I'm concerned.

Posted by: Teresa at 04:49 PM | Comments (38) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

I think everything's working - except for my blog, which has the hiccups.

If anything isn't working, post or comment here, or email me at andrew -at- pixymisa -dot- net, and I'll get it fixed.

The one problem you might have is with DNS, which should have updated by now, but can take a little while. But post/comment/email anyway, and I'll let you know if it's a real problem or if you just need to sleep in a couple more hours.

Oh yes: If you have a Wordpress blog and suddenly all your posts since June have disappeared, don't panic! It just means I've restored the wrong database. All the Wordpress blogs have their own databases, and following all the moving around we did during the DDoS attacks, we ended up with two copies of each. So depending on which server you started out on, and which server you ended up on, I might not have loaded the right database for you. But I do have copies of everything, so all it means is that I have to grab the other copy and load it up (which takes all of 30 seconds).

Well, at least we're back on track now.

4 .. hey, Pixy... my search function isn't working... blacklist seems to be down... and my site is filled with lots of strange characters where my elipses should be.. huh?...

Posted by: Eric @ at October 08, 2006 12:49 PM

5 I'll check on the search. I had to turn it off a while back because it was eating all our memory, but I thought I'd replaced it with a new program.

Blacklist seems to be working for me - now. What problems are you having?

Now, as for your poor ellipses, they really did get messed up. I'll have to write a little program to run through and fix them all for you. You could use hellip; instead: … That's more resistant to messer-upperers.

Can I please go back to sleep?

Posted by: Trey Givens @ at October 08, 2006 01:13 PM

7 Sorry, that's something actually broken. No sleep for you!

I'll go see what's happened.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 08, 2006 01:15 PM

8 By the way, Eric, do you write your posts in Word and then paste them in? Just wondering how that happened. It should still work, but obviously it didn't.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 08, 2006 01:16 PM

9 Okay, Trey, you're back on the air! It somehow lost the alias that mapped your account to your other account...

American Warmonger comes up by default because it's the first username in alphabetical order, and if the server can't find the right site, it just shows the first one. I've switched things around so that it comes up with the main munu page instead, which is a bit less confusing.

10 Sweeeeet.

Thanks, Dude!

Posted by: Trey Givens @ at October 08, 2006 01:29 PM

11 Hmm. Eric, looks like you're not the only one that has messed-up symbols. Can you help me match up what's showing now with what it should be?

Then I can run a little program that can fix it for everyone.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 08, 2006 01:30 PM

12 I'm off to bed now - it's been a long day - but I will be back to fix everything in the morning.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 08, 2006 01:52 PM

13 Everything seems fine. Just curious, how does this move affect comments, if at all. I get complaints that the comment function seems broken quite often.

Posted by: Steve Janke @ at October 08, 2006 03:20 PM

14 ... hey, Pixy... sorry for the delay in getting back to you...

... but to answer your question, normally I compose a post in Outlook (which, I suppose is using a form of MS Word)...

... hope that helps...

Posted by: Eric @ at October 08, 2006 04:08 PM

15 Hi Pixy!

Well, my sight has disappeared I think. The main page comes up with a database error, and a subdomain I have, wspr.nickqueen.com, goes to the mu.nu page. Weirdness!

Posted by: Nick @ at October 08, 2006 10:50 PM

16 Oops. That's no good. I'll get it fixed for you.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 08, 2006 11:09 PM

17 Pixy- I put that I had a case of the squigglies in the above post and just looked here. I do write mine in word first before I post. I notice Eric said he writes his in Outlook. I don't know about Teresa. That could be the common denominator. But I still have a squiggly problem in the section that allows readers to look at comments without posting one. That would be a template issue.

Posted by: Bou @ at October 09, 2006 12:04 AM

18 Nick - your blogs should be back up now. Let me know if I've got the right ones this time.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 09, 2006 01:42 AM

19 Steve - the problem with comments is that when we get flooded with spam, the comments get switched off to prevent the server collapsing. They get switched on again after a minute, but if we're still getting spam-flooded, they could get switched off again right away.

I haven't enabled this yet on the new servers, so we'll see how we go. One alternative is to use the new comment system (as seen on Ace of Spades and the Jawa Report), but that doesn't update the comment count on your main page yet.
