still working out some performance kinks so it runs faster. Drupal is a complex system that is fairly slow, so lots of caching & other tricks are required.

If you have any questions or notice any bugs please let us know!

I noticed that your options for gender are "<p>" and "male female</p>," and I don't know which I am.  :p

Also if you want to change something your signature or profile image, you have to retype in your password.  Don't know if you can change this or not.  It's a little annoying.

gender is fixed.

You shouldnèt need to re-enter your password, just make sure both password are blank. Some browsers auto-fill password feature fill in the password field automatically.

sorry about the site being all flaky tonight, first time testing it with more than 2 people accessing it at once. Running into some problems.

My main goal right now is to make it stable and faster loading for logged in users. For guests it should be fairly fast as most pages will be cached.

On the Sponsor -> Tags page I get:

 

warning: wincache_ucache_add() [function.wincache-ucache-add]: function called with a key which already exists in D:\Hosted Sites\angelamelick.ca\wastedtalent.ca\sites\all\modules\contrib\cacherouter\engines\wincache.php on line 205.

Looking cool otherwise!

Yes I have seen this error before, trying to deal with it. Im using an experimental caching plugin with a beta cache system, so might not be stable yet. might have to revert back to something a bit more stable.

Yes I see your order along with anothers. Angela changed her paypay address and I was using her new email in the shop, it looks like it isnèt working correctly. So payment wasnt made to the correct paypal.

I cant fix it until she gets home. For now I will manualy enter your payment into the shop system.

Heh, well, apparently my account was deleted during the revamp, but not my comments.  They were just posted by Anonymous (along with many others' posts).  Just an fyi to everyone.

Yes unfortunately this is correct, any accounts created since march 25th were not transfered. The comments were though and just entered as Anonymous, better than not migrating those comments at all.

For some reason I kept getting logged out once I entered a thread, yesterday.

I think I have found the problem why some people are saying they are getting logged out or other weird things like that. Its to do with one of the caching systems I am using. Until i can fix the problem I am disabling that specific system and it should fix the problem.

You might have noticed i added Facebooks new "Like" buttons to comics, blogs & products.

I also cleaned up the "aggregator" page that "sponsor" members can view http://www.wastedtalent.ca/aggregator

I also updated the members page with the ability to filter members who are sponsors, see here http://www.wastedtalent.ca/members?rid=5

The comic thumbnail image in the RSS feed should now link to the comic.

The "events" page now shows past events at the bottom for archival purposes: http://www.wastedtalent.ca/events

wow sorry I hanv't been watching the site, ive been working hard on a new project. But when I checked on the site the last few times it was loading REALLY slow!

I couldnt figure out why! but i finally found the cause, there must have been a memory leak in the "memcached" service the site uses for caching. After restarting memcached things were back to normal.

So i've created a scheduled task to restart memcached every night, so it doesn't happen again.
