Hi all. Our poor old server had a bad day. It was pretty slow yesteday, and may have even corrupted a few cases.

I finally had to put it out of it's misery this evening, and launched a brand-spankin new one.

I don't think any data was lost, but please let me know here if you think you were penalized somehow.

I've gone ahead and granted all current subscribers an extra day on their subscriptions.

The only bug that I know of right now is that bar chat isn't working. I'll get to that in the next couple days.

Sleuth Strong!

Woohoo to GMT!

I also have a stored case that is bugged

If we're going to change the server time I vote for Eastern Standard Time ( Australia ). It might as well be as inconvenient for as many people as possible :)

Feb-14-2016 03:36

Neglected to pay attention to the new server time and let a whole day of cases slip away (11 of them anyway). Oops.

"Solved" the case file problem by moving the agency to another city.

Ok, here's an update:

I hereby banish the concept of timezones from Sleuth. While we're at it, might as well get rid of daylight savings time and leap year too. So we enjoy February now because you're only getting 28 days of it this year.

I'm still trying to figure out the extent of the bugged case files, I'll try to get those cleared out soon. I just don't want to clear out everything if

Feb-14-2016 08:13

oops, darn return key.

... if not all case files are beyond recovery.

Also, I tacked on another day to everybody's subscriptions.

Hang in there.

I'm having a hard time identifying all the bugged case files. Does anybody strongly object to me just clearing out all agency and apartment files?

Feb-14-2016 16:39

I've had people ask me to clear cases purely on the basis they don't want the 'quits'. I think you should just go ahead and do it, purely so people stop asking me to do something I can't :D

Or we can mark them with bugged in the notes part!

Ben, PM sent re: apartment cases. Basically, I have many that are already solved and stored, for a variety of sleuths reasons.

Feb-14-2016 21:42

I'd like to keep my apartment cases too. They're all solved anyway. Also it seems I also somehow "lost" all daily cases today. Anyone know when exactly is the turnover now?
