Volgon Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 Not sure if anything was done but the website has become considerably faster for me in the last few hours. It was very slow the last day or two but has improved noticeably!

WrathOfTheLion Posted July 8, 2025 Author Share Posted July 8, 2025 It could be a caching thing if multiple pages were invalidated? Nothing was done that I'm aware of.

WrathOfTheLion Posted October 1, 2025 Author Share Posted October 1, 2025 (edited) Hello everyone, I apologize for the inconvenience, this was a more complicated upgrade than I initially thought. It is now complete though, and the site is on 4.7.23. The exhausted Thought for the Day message was also updated, and the table for that cleared, so they should begin cycling again.

Got a serious bug report here - now that the site is back up, my wife is asking me why I won't go to bed. Please advise. Also, when I ring my doorbell, my toilet flushes. Any help appreciated.

In order to avoid my 4th divorce, I have called the plumber and inserted new batteries. Which fix is for which problem is for your discernment.
