Things appear to be running smoothly after the longer-than-expected EE upgrade. It was longer than expected because we were extremely careful, and also because I am extremely stupid.
This is also a test post. If things are as they should be, you will never know what it is I’m testing.
UPDATE: The ages of pending Proposals in the sidebar should be fixed now. Please confirm in the comments whether you’re seeing the correct times now.
...75th has 2 different accounts (one is member #1 and is 75th Trombone, one is member #24 and is Seventy-Fifth Trombone)...
Slight glitch: the proposals “Edie” and “Boss-some” are both said to have existed for a negative amount of time.
My wild guess as to the problem is that whatever we’re using to track how old proposals are is now running backwards.
Heh, yes, I have two accounts. The first is for administrative stuff, and the second is for gameplay, and as you can see here, I am crap at maintaining that distinction.
On the proposal times, oof. I’ll look at that tomorrow after I get some rest.
/me covers his eyes, afraid to look at his legendary hero
Uh yes, the times are important, as the Proposal which could have been passed hours ago is now 5 hours from 48 . . . and that number is increasing. . . .
the timestamps are still correct. the ruleset doesn’t say ‘turns red’ it says 48 hours old.
I know, I already enacted something. It’s very confusing, however.
yuri: don’t inflate his ego :)
75th: the offset looks like we’re subtracting local times from UTC times again somewhere, or the correction we did last time got obsolete.
It appears as though all the post ages in the side bar are -8 hours from what they should be. I have no idea what could cause this. Investigation continues…
Ha, no, Daylight-saving time generally doesn’t cause seven-hour discrepancies.
What does cause that is a change to the way EE interprets the {gmt_entry_date} tag when you’re getting the time zone offset (%Z).
I believe it’s fixed for me now. Can anyone else confirm that it’s correct?
Well I was talking about Daylight Savings time on a Post-Apocalyptic planet, which is very different.
The times seem to be correct now.
