If you attempted to access the site today for some period between 9am and 10 am EST you may have seen the dreaded 404 ERROR message on your screen. And so did I! A week or so ago I upgraded my site. I needed more memory and resources.
And so for a day I experienced some wonky stuff where my posting disappeared and my hair fell out and I turned into a werewolf briefly. But then everything was okay. Well, today I was on-line and doing this and that when suddenly my connection to the site turned into that 404 ERROR message. I tried the limited things I could think of and they were completely ineffective. Then I went to my site host and started crying and shrieking and after about an hour of fiddling with settings it got fixed.
They never warned me this was going to happen. To be fair it’s more complicated than that. They didn’t check to see if I had a particular firewall arrangement that has to be aligned with any changes to the host IP address. But as everyone knows I’m the lamest web master in the multiverse so there was no chance of me anticipating the problem that came up.
Anyway, apologies for any interruption to your viewing pleasure and back to the show.
Another issue the last couple days. When I try to like a post I get a red “you are not authorized to like posts” error message.
I’ll have to confess I don’t even understand how that “like” thing works. I once tried to like a post that already had three likes and it lowered it to one. I’m not much of a web master. but I’ll try using some resources to figure it out.
Like worked for me.
Does for me, now.
Well, that’s good.
Well, I’m not going to jinx it by trying to use it myself. Currently my most important project is eliminating the latency time between when I post something and when it appears on the site. It’s several hours apparently. It’s a caching function but I’m not sure if it’s front-end or back-end. But it’s definitely a pain in the rear-end.
