"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So far as I can tell, this is still the memory allocation overrun problem. However, at a quick glance, I don't have an easy solution beyond increasing the allocation more, which is more dollars, and at the moment without doing a little more work, I am uncertain exactly how much we would need to increase it to reliably stay up.

I gave myself some more permissions tonight, and obviously Scola has keys, but is it time to get our new developer volunteers their credentials?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The "E-mail Admins" tool doesn't work if you are not signed in. I signed out, clicked the link, completed all three fields, and clicked [Post]. All three fields cleared, and I got error messages for all three. Is this a bug or a feature?

Same result when signed in.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Same result when signed in.

Okay then, ignore what I just posted about it being anti-spam over in Bureaucracy.

Link appears to work ok.

Hmmmm. Previous attempts were with Dolphin on an iPad.

Tried again with Chrome on Win7, same results. The fields clear, and I get error messages at the top, white text on a dark red band:

Invalid e-mail address
Message subject missing
Message body missing

This has been mentioned before, here and here. Same errors reported. The first instance occurred at the time of the hack and subsequent move to the new server, so I'm wondering if sendmail was never properly configured on the new server in the haste of the move.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just sent something on Chrome. no error message.

I mean the "if this form gives you trouble, try this link" link. I didn't actually send an email, but it seemed to work up to the point where I didn't want to pursue it further.

I do get the error message with the form.

I'm wondering if sendmail was never properly configured on the new server in the haste of the move.

I kinda remember some discussion about it being the possible source of the hack and therefore maybe do something different? Very vague memory, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Is anyone else getting a frequent "Server Hangup" message when loading pages? I refresh and it's fine but it's happening a lot.

Okay I think it's specifically the Marvel Universe thread that's doing this, although it also happened once when going to Message Center...from Marvel Universe.
