Unscheduled Outage

Hi folks

We had an unexpected outage during the night. Caused by Nginx and Apache fighting for the port. Nginx restarted itself. Steve now turned Nginx off properly and we should be sweet now.

Big apologies for the outage. Hope we didn’t ruin your day/night.

p.s we’re just prepping some changes to the site for comps etc – should be able to get done this weekend.

Bugger ran out of disk – you guys are just too busy uploading logos. A good problem to have I guess. Added more disk! – So keep at it.

By RetroMetro/Steve over 8 months ago

Thanks Digger…glad you’re back on line. I missed you guys:)

Hello Digger…There is error in your site. The score is resetted back to “zero” also the number of view when designer put on favorite.Thanks.

By struve over 8 months ago

i have the same problem as andre—but only with the one logo i uploaded yesterday. and the one i uploaded the day before has disappeared…

By straycloud over 8 months ago

Similar problem..I edited a comment I made on one of my own logos and the score reset to 0.

By Digger over 8 months ago

However no code changes made – so I don’t think any behaviour should have changed. I’ll check it out though – if you let me know which logo references.

By Digger over 8 months ago

Struve – I deleted one of your logos because it was casing problems – looked likesome problem with the file you uploaded. Pleas upload again and make sure it’s the correct file type.

am i uploading wrong? all of mine are uploaded as jpeg’s at 100 dpi or less…i guess i don’t know why some are ok and some are not.

I was kinda wondering what happened yesterday! :D Glad to hear it’s all back and running smooth now!

By straycloud over 8 months ago

Digger check the scoring system. I had a logo I put up this morning and it was at 10. I just got back and it was down to 1.

Update: Just noticed it was added as a favorite by some one….

I experienced same thing. I added comment to one of my logo, and score was reset from 10 to 1 (number of views also).

By Digger over 8 months ago

There is a bug in that during a session – each time you view your own logo or change your vote it is counted each time (this is incorrect). However once your session is reset the true score (as per the points rules) kicks in and the correct score is shown. The high scores that you are seeing are most likely incorrect. To check just position your mouse over the score on a logo page and you’ll see how the score is made up.

I know for that Digger, but this is different, and happened again.
When someone add comment to logo number of views going to 1. I am pretty sure that i did not made all that 100 views by myself. And it is not just for my logos. It happens to logos from other users.
Just trying to be constructive :)

By RetroMetro/Steve over 8 months ago

Yes, there is definetly a coding problem. View counts and score are both being reset any time a comment is modified or deleted. Could it be that the coding is accidentally the same coding used for when a logo is replaced? Cheers.

@Digger, they are right, i just went to one of my older logos that has a score of 8 and something like 38 views ( i have not clicked on it for weeks) and i added my own comment and it not only brought the score down to 6, but it also dropped the view count down to 24, which makes no sense. heh, i was also wondering what was going on with view counts and scores. good luck fixing this.

I just saw that my total rating was about 2700 and now it’s at 2300….and my views has dropped from just under 11000 (where it’s been for a few weeks) to under 9000…..what’s happening?

By RetroMetro/Steve over 8 months ago

Yikes!!! my view count just dropped a bunch?

By Edie over 8 months ago

Oh, so i am not the only one :) Well, if we are all “lost” 500 points, maybe everything is ok!

By onesummer over 8 months ago

my view count and score got dropped dramatically on just about all my logos as well. hopefully digger will explain this week.

By Edie over 8 months ago

Maybe “mystical” karma thing is started :)

By straycloud over 8 months ago

yea my rating took a random dive all of a sudden…

By tb1alexc over 8 months ago

Yeah, I’m having the same problem: my logo http://www.logosauce.com/logos/13978 has ‘3’ views and yet 4 comments? (Ok, so two of them are made by me, but three of my friends have told me in person that they have viewed this logo.) Best of luck for fixing this Digger!

By Digger over 8 months ago

Hi folks

errr – to be brutally honest I don’t know what’s going on here – but we’re investigating and will fix it.

We’re also about to roll out a bunch of competition changes and a (hopefully) a nice little surprise for competition winners. Stay posted.

By Patrikk over 8 months ago

Just wondering….where is the OMG competition? I know it’s over but I can’t find it anywhere…it’s not in CLOSED…not in WINNERS. What happened to it?

By Rezolution over 8 months ago

And Get em Girls – what happened there?

By SebbDesign over 8 months ago

new at logosauce …. less points → better logo :)

By Digger over 8 months ago

OMG is a private comp so no longer visible – but you can see it listed here http://logosauce.com/competitions/winners. Won by Shorty with this design: http://logosauce.com/logos/13240

By Digger over 8 months ago
