Problematic upload of a new version

Rasmus Bang Grouleff, Bangs United Developer 5 July 2010, 19:14

If you were online today between 10am and 4pm you would have noticed that the site ran rather slow. The reason to this was the new version which was uploaded earlier today. A bug caused the entire page to run lag.

Unfortunately it took us several hours to find the bug, but it is fixed now - everything is running smoothly again! :) Actually, the page is running faster than ever due the new version's optimized way of loading ads.

Besides this speed bost, the new version also holds the following:

[list]
A new thread based mail system. You can try it out by clicking on Office > Mail in the top menu. We think the new system is really cool but at the same time, we believe there is are lots of things that still can be improved. If you have comments or suggestions we are very interested in hearing them.
The new tactics editor that we have been testing the last couple of weeks is now the default editor. You can try it out by clicking on My club > Tactics in the top menu.
It is now no longer possible to spam the Ombudsman if your case has been rejected several times. This gives the Ombudsman time for working on other cases.
Small updates of the layout (i.e. drop-shadows in the top menu - it does not work in Internet Explorer though).
[/list]

We have spent a great deal of time in relation with the new mail system on converting the mails from the old system. Mails sent between Friday last week and today are, due to technical reasons not converted yet. We have started the conversion of this relatively small amount of remaining mails, and we are expecting it to be finished tomorrow morning.

the "Unread mails"-counter in the top of the layout can be inaccurate until the last mails are converted. If the counter is showing an incorrect number, please do not report this as an error.

We hope you like the new features and please do not hesitate to answer here if you have any comments.
