Just wanted to give this heads up. If it has anything to do with installing the new Windows 11 22H2, presumably the server version, be aware that things may not go as smoothly as you hope. I have no experience with the server model of Win 11 22H2, but the standard system had issues from the moment it was released to a limited audience. More issues in the Pro version of Win 11 than in the Home version. I installed the new system in late September, and they have issued a very large number of cumulative updates (4 so far) following the original release. Most of the new Cumulative releases of Win 11 22H2 are preceded or followed by cumulative releases of the .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 (3 so far). All of which means that it may take some time and several updates before you are stable with the new version of Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Updates to server made. But it broke a few things (e.g., the news aggregator on the front page, and the board itself may be a little slower due to caching issues). I will work more on this during the weekend. Hopefully it will not be too difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SluSignGuy Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Some may have noticed that there was a lot of spam on the board this morning. Some bots appeared to get through the registration process. I have banned these bots, and I temporarily have made it so that I have to manually approve all registrations, which should hopefully prevent new bots from registering and posting. Sorry for the trouble. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nut shell, I think the email server is timing out (when most people send a private message it also sends an email). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feeds on Billikens.com are run through Twitter "lists." You can create an Embed of these lists here: https://publish.twitter.com/# The Billikens.com list URL is this: https://twitter.com/i/lists/766081953082683392 If you try to create an embed, it even displays the error on Twitter's page. I admit I am hoping they fix the issue rather than me just removing the feeds (because I don't really have a replacement). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SluSignGuy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Only posting this because I put wheels in motion today, but in late March, we may experience some server downtime or hiccups with the site. In brief, we are staying with the same server company but moving to a different package. A reason for this is that it will put us on a more logical billing cycle (i.e. if I need to make server changes in the future) for a team that plays from October to March, along with my personal work calendar (i.e., September is busier for me than August).

SluSignGuy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Yeah, I recognize that. However, traffic drops considerably a week or two after the men's basketball team's season ends. My hope is the hiccups are very small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
