March 16 - Upgrade Second Attempt
I've made a number of adjustments since the last attempt, and am ready to give the upgrade another go. I'm hopeful we won't run into the same sort of issue as before - under stress testing the new configuration performed 4x better than the existing production system.
On Friday March 16, at 10pm Pacific, Myth-Weavers will be offline for a period that we expect to last 1-2 hours.
To start, I'll run backups of all files and database content, then, I'll swap the configurations to point at the new system.

Overview In order to facilitate continued growth and development of Myth-Weavers, I am preparing to deploy wide-reaching changes to the site's underlying architecture. Because these changes are primarily architectural in nature, they are mostly invisible to users, with a few exceptions that I have outlined below. These changes are mostly designed to facilitate other pending projects that depend on the infrastructure that will be established. It is my goal that you will be generally underwhelmed, and that your daily usage of Myth-Weavers does not change significantly due to this round of changes. Summary of Changes Signon Account management will primarily take place through signon.myth-weavers.com . Signon with Email, Not Username When logging in to Myth-Weavers, you will need to enter the email associated with the account, not your username. Email and Password Changes Email and password changes will no longer happen through the forums, but through signon.. The forum 'Edit Email & Password' button in the forums User CP will link to this page. Username Changes Users will have the ability to change their own username, via the Profile tab of the signon settings. Password Reset Password resets will no longer happen via the forums login form, but instead will be available from the signon login form. Social Login Once you're logged in, if you wish to link and use a Facebook, Twitter, or Google account for login, you may visit your account settings under the 'Social Logins' tab, and use the appropriate link there to associate the account. Once that's done, you can now log in to Myth-Weavers using one of those providers. Social Registration While this doesn't affect existing users directly, new visitors to Myth-Weavers will be able to register using a social account. Wiki The Myth-Weavers Wiki will be moved to a subdomain, wiki.myth-weavers.com . URLs pointing to myth-weavers.com/wiki will be redirected to the new location |
