How's that new super-fast server doing?
![](/images/siftageddon.jpg)
Oh how the mighty have fallen. There we were, patting ourselves on the back for the amazing 20 minute upgrade. Me, sipping champagne with my hoity-toity friends - "Server upgrade? oh yes we did one of those last week - it was a breeze I tell you - child's play."
But then today, our hosting company said "oh yes, there's one more thing we forgot to give you with your upgrade, this!" [vomit of code bringing the server to its knees]
I think we've made it through the end times and are now picking around the rubble in the aftermath. Thanks to Lucky and James for staying up super-late to get things right. We're still not 100% sure it's all there. Please use this thread to let us know of any post-siftageddon errors. I guess we've all ... been left behind.
Update: If you maintained a persistent login, you might not even have noticed. If so ... then please carry on, and never mind.

When I get tired and cranky, I resort to melodrama.

I was going through withdrawl...
The only remaining bug I found is that if I click my avatar or name it goes to a 404 instead of my profile. Though if I use the VS toolbar link it works.
I think we need a VS 12 step program...
that was a very painful experience. i swear i was this close to turning on the tv. this close. let's never fight again VS.
If only I could add post this to my ThingsThatGoBoom playlist...

Thanks for the fix, guys.
VideoSift must be doing good for you Dag. I love the look of the place you live at:

I noticed the "sticky" under your avatar. Does that mean the announcement will linger at the top of the SiftTalk?
yeah, we have started using stickys on the blog posts to keep people informed.
I just added the post-it note behind the 'sticky' text because I imagined people might not be noticing it (and also it looks nice
). I guess my worries were not for naught.
This thread made me think of this old TV intro.

clicking on queue:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/libs/playlist.php on line 448
ps: also clicking front. "top videos" instead are ok.
It's happening on Front for me as well as Queue, and my profile page as well.
doesn't look like it's over: Parse error: parse error, unexpected $, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/libs/playlist.php on line 448
as above.
patience my pretties
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: playlist in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/user.php on line 64
(clicking my queued)
Hmm, i just browsed through to your queue and didn't have any problems.

I think Lucky has fixed the above profile bugs. Let us know if it's still a problem.
How long does the sticky last out of curiosity?
Sorry for the late reply. Those bugs were my evildoing. I was in the middle of adding a new playlist feature and causing random buglets in the process. Pardon my zinger.
darksun:
There's no time limit on a sticky post. That adhesive is awfully strong; we peel it off the refrigerator manually when we decide it's been there long enough to serve its purpose.
Started to imagine who it could have been, all of you are suspect still!!! Cept fer Roe, he talked me down with a response to viscous emails...
