Reader Update – 08/19/12
Hey guys! Each week we will be providing an update on all the nitty gritty happenings on the site.
Recently it was reported to us by Synopsis that users were receiving random errors when attempting comment or connect to certain pages. Our entire staff takes this stuff extremely serious and over the past week we’ve been working with our new host to resolve these issues. Unfortunately they were unable to replicate the issue reliably, which in turn forced us to revert back to our old host. While the process was relatively painless we did lose some points that users accumulated, along with some posts we had to re-import into the system. As a result we believe these issues are resolved for good. That being said, we can’t catch everything and hope that you guys report any issues you come across to us either in the comment section or through the Contact Us link on the top menu. Now that this is out of the way let’s focus on some of the good stuff.
We recently trimmed a lot of fat off of the site, which was bogging down server resources and leading to slower web site loading then we would like. As of now the speed on the site should be dramatically improved over the last 2 weeks, with only a few second loading times, rather than the several seconds we were getting previously.
Next on the list is podcasts. Due to various scheduling conflicts it has been difficult to get these consistently done, however we are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Expect a new podcast in the next week or so at the latest.
We are also very excited to start unveiling our video content which should be rolling out shortly. This will include video walkthroughs, reviews, and much more. You can catch a sneak peek of our video introduction below, we hope you like it.
