When I change some topics from "Not Watching" to "Watching", I don't always get the Notifications that a new post has arrived.

Anyone else?

@brenda Really? I tried to get them to work again this morning, but I still struggle.
When I click on the emoticon button I get this:

Does this look different for you?

[brenda]

@Klaus
Yes, it's part of the keyboard function of my phone, and the new site allows it just like other characters from the keyboard.

I miss the good emojis of days gone by. Also will there be an edit feature.

[mark]

@Loki edit exists. The three dots are your friend.

What Mark said about the three dots...

But yeah, the quickie emojis are missed.

[Klaus]

They'll be back. Don't worry guys, I just didn't have time to investigate the issue in detail.

[Klaus]

There are still some technical issues with the emoji support. There seems to be a bug in the latest version of it. I've filed a bug report to the developers and am hopeful that it will be fixed shortly.

[Klaus]

Still trying to fix the emojis. I'm on to something. There's a small chance that I'll destroy everything (famous last words...).

You did it, didn't you. You fucking divided by zero.

[Klaus]

I want to know what's in that HEY LARRY! tab.

edit: OK, I see.

Thanks to the novel financial support, I'll upgrade our server tomorrow morning and that will hopefully be the end of "temporarily unavailable due to excessive load" (at least when it concerns actual load and not just server restarts and maintenance).

[Klaus]

OK, now we run on a server that is significantly more powerful. That transition worked smoothly.

[brenda]

You are awesome, Klaus!

For the non-geeks among us, please explain what you mean by a "more powerful" server.

More storage, I assume?

[Klaus]

Two cores instead of one.
2x the amount of RAM
2x the amount of disk space

Translation for the non-geeks:
We now have twice the space to store our BS and twice the computing power to serve our BS to the Internet.
