Hmmm.... I'm not set up to make code changes on the board real quick at the moment. I can start setting up to do so. I'm a bit strapped for time with the new job, working on a new site for my wife, and doing some work on the house.

I would like to set myself up though. I've wanted to make a few minor changes. I had thought about migrating the site to Spring (my bread and butter) but I think that is just too much work so I'm hoping to just move to a newer version of Ruby on Rails.

Don't suppose there are any other Rails people in the house? Calling myself a Rails person is a bit of a stretch.

FYI: I just got the following email from Google; I may not be the only one who got it, as I suspect the original stompies would have all had access to the referenced blog - it did remind me for the first time in forever that at one point we were using the buffistas.info domain to point to a blog where we could post updates in case of board outages etc, back when we had a much bigger problem with that happening.

We no longer have the domain (or at least, it's no longer pointing anywhere), and we've long since defaulted to using the FB group for "is it just me or is the board down" check-ins. I don't think there would be any content there that would be worth rescuing, or any action we need to take other than just letting the blogger account expire. But I did want to let everyone know!

Hi Amy Hendrix,

This email address has a legacy Blogger account associated with it that hasn’t logged in since 2007. In 60 days it will lose access to the account and associated content; the data will be permanently deleted unless migrated to the Google Account system at Legacy migration page.

Whoops, wrong thread. Nothing to see here. Move it along.

ETA: I did a search after typing this message and see that Gud has answered about Thread Suck and also I think Cindy's question about the threads being shown in order of new posts. Great! I know Gud is super busy which is why I say I'd personally pay for the hours needed to add back thread suck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, I know I have asked this several times before and don't want to be a pest, but to be able to Thread Suck used to be one of my favorite tools for this site. I don't know if that's in the queue for the site still? Or if it ever was? I'd be happy to pay for the time of whoever can make that happen. Maybe I am the only person who used it? But a definitive answer about whether it's even on the list would be great. Thank you!

I used the thread suck a lot too. Miss it, but have no clue if it is hard to add back.

Hey there! I’m on my phone, and every time I try to subscribe to the new Goodbye, I get logged out. I still have the issue of whenever I get logged out (timing, etc), I have to “reset” my password, but here, if o just go back a few pages, I’m logged in again. Very weird

---

Vortex, I had that happen when I clicked the link to the new Goodbye from Bureau. I had to navigate to the new thread from Buffistas Home instead.

Gud [or anyone who has keys to the CMS/website], how long have the search engines been ignoring our robots.txt?

When I look at /robots.txt in a browser, there is no newline between the User-Agent line and the Disallow line. On Wikipedia, there's a newline in between the example lines. I don't know if that by itself is considered a "misconfiguration," or an excuse to ignore the file.

But Googling (or Ducking) "site:buffistas.org motherfuckers" brings up many, many more items than I am comfortable with.

Is this a known bug or a new situation?

---

Oooof. I was under the impression that this site’s posts were not available unless someone was logged. Don’t know where I got that idea but now I really want to delete my name and posts. 😢

---

It's my understanding that posts are visible, but not the profile info, so not our email or other info. eta: correct, I logged out, and you can't click on the profile name.
