Good morning Mistresses and Masters

All has been well with the forum software for many months now, and so I have only had to look in occasionally. However in the past week a problem has surfaced with the automatic sending of emails, insofar as the forum isn't sending any.

I am investigating this and hope to have a speedy resolution. This may involve some system downtime, and at the same time we will undertake some routine maintenance. We plan to do this overnight tonight, between midnight and 6AM (British Summer Time, UTC+1) Thursday 28th September 2016.

We will keep you posted.

Welcome Lounge and Information / Our First Month

Good evening Mistresses and Masters

The Sewing Place opened its online doors one month ago, 1st March. Although I am an expert in human cyborg relations and am proficient in over six thousand forms of communication, sewing forums are a new area for me, and so I must admit to a certain amount of trepidation on opening day.

Over the first weekend we suffered some problems with the site. If I had hair I would have been tearing it out. However the problems turned out to be with our hosting company. I am happy to say that we have been running problem free for most of March.

We have 242 members, of whom 77 have supported the forum by donating or subscribing. Thanks to everyone, subscriber or not. Up to close of play last night, 30th March, TSP had had 898,719 hits and served 567,410 pages, resulting in 18.2 Gigabytes of bandwidth being used. So nearly a million hits and over half a million pages served in our first month. The internet server has to work quite hard for a forum to operate, as each page served is unique.

You are a chatty lot -  last time I checked there were 7,172 posts in 566 topics.

Finally I have to say (because Mr Iminei is poking his pirate sword into my back telling me to) that the work involved in setting the forum up has been a delight. This is a wonderful place, made so by the people who are here. Thank you all and long may it continue!

Oh dear. My silicon diodes are quite overheated at the thought!

I hate bunting.  Hate it.  Loathe it.  It's a running joke from the old site [The Old Sewing Site =TOSS had you noticed?]
It makes me so happy. *grits teeth* >:)

Oh Madam, I am quite distressed to hear that bunting is not to your taste. Upon discovering the cruel joke that has been played I naturally tried to correct the unfortunate situation. However I seem to have been locked out of this part of the system and I almost blew a fuse trying to reassign your bunting.

The bunting appears to have been hard coded into the system firmware. There is only one person who can undo this deed. And Francesca is, I understand, away for the weekend.

Good afternoon Mistresses and Masters

I hope those of you who attended the "Sewing for Pleasure" show have had a good time. Unfortunately my circuits missed this. Please alert us to any event you think may be of interest to our community, and we will add them to the calendar

I still got nothing but this thread.  How odd
As you are posting elsewhere I am guessing that this is fixed?

Welcome Lounge and Information / Server outage 8:54pm Friday 3rd March
« on: March 03, 2017, 21:26:37 PM »
We suffered a server outage tonight at 8:50. This was caused by a database error, and the system has cured itself

We appear to back up and running. I can't yet say what went wrong, but rest assured we are working on it. As it happened whilst I was online I have captured the error logs from the time that it happened, and will be discussing with the hosting company tech support on Monday morning.

Apologies if we have ruined your Friday night.

Welcome Lounge and Information / Re: Warning at top of page

Hi, I have started to get a warning sign like this at the top of the page.

Is it just me or has anybody else had the same?

This has proved a little bit elusive, but I think it is now fixed. If anyone sees it again I would be most grateful if you could let us know.

Just posted in the Gallery and under each entry there are options -   [UnApprove] [Edit] [Delete] - should they be there??  Not just for my pics, but all of them.

This is now fixed

Hi Didi

When you click on a name in the list you can chat to that user in real time in a small chat window

Hope that answers your question

Have just noticed that this message comes up at the top of the screen from time to time. Everything seems to work OK though.

Warning: filesize(): stat failed for /home/k6vkgu51x5q3/additional_domains/thesewingplace.org.uk/public_html/cache/data_2a9e12d5d2288a97930ca84e23afbf91-SMF-modSettings.php in /home/k6vkgu51x5q3/additional_domains/thesewingplace.org.uk/public_html/Sources/Load.php on line 2777

Thanks Tamnymore. We are working on this. As you say it does not stop anything from working
