Pardon our dust!
We recently migrated to new servers to replace hardware and software that were several years out of date. We run a few servers for different things (the main website, the Auction House data stream, Guildwork, and replication), so moving things around took some doing.
The cut-over to the main site went mostly fine. Most of the early problems people reported were DNS propagation (browsers still pointing at the old server until things updated).
A few days in, the application crashed due to a hard drive failure. We had redundancy, but the RAID degraded enough to make things unstable, so we moved to another replacement server. That's what you're on now, and it's been running well so far.
Fixes I've pushed:
- AH sales were being skipped, should be corrected
- Nodes/item search was erroring out, should be fixed
- Missing tooltips and icons, mostly fixed
Little to no user data was lost. If you spot anything still broken, post it here.

The database is super borked like 20k bodies vanished
Shopping tab, messages

I've had it claiming I have a new DM since the issues the other day, but clicking it just loads a page with Application Error on it. Appreciate you guys keeping the show running all these years!

Lots of application errors around the members menu
- clicking any of these bazar, wanted, merits, atma, abyssite, voidwatch, shopping and assaults
- attempting to edit an item set
- Trying to access Inbox.

Shopping should be fixed.
Database is more complicated, I will look into it.

Thanks for all the work you guys do. I have no doubt it can be exhausting at times.

Thanks for your hard work, it's great to have the Shopping tab back. That's the main thing I missed.
I came across some search problems over the past week and I don't think they are fully fixed. When I search this 52-page Dancer guide thread for common words like "Dancer" or "Twashtar," I get zero results: https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/53853/the-last-dance-iii-a-dancers-guide-new/
But I also tested some other threads and was able to get search results, so it may be a limited problem

The forum search hasn't been reliable and I plan on changing that going forward. The specific issue you raise involves a Node/Wiki embedded in the post. The forum search does not see content in those guides. However, a dedicated Node search is possible and should be a feature of this site.

It seems the GW connection stopped updating (for me at least). My jobs, crafts, merits, etc were always generally updating in real time but it appears the last sync was over a week ago. Gw flush doesn’t solve and the updating can be seen correctly on the gw site - so it’s the link that’s not working. This happened originally at the same time AH was t updating and application errors were seen on the site.
Thanks for all you do here. FFXIAH has been my favorite resource for FFXI dating back to the 2000s!

Did sales stop tracking again?
Some admin functions for moderators are still resulting in page displaying, "application error" unless accessed via alternative methods.
Holy shite! You stopped stacks of unstackable items from showing up on the Shopping page and fixed javascript on it as well. Thanks!

I can build item sets again feelsgoodman
Tycm for the work!

GW connection and updates are restored! Thank you
Since when you guys updated the hosting, ffxiah is telling the mobile browser he refuses double tap for zoom.
Can still force it from.l Spexific accessibility settings on the browser but it would be awesome if you could make it behave like it always did, thanks!

Guildwork connection failed for me years ago, never came back. I ended up just building my own solution... Vana'lytics. Feel free to give it a shot if you still wanted a character profile sync.

I second the guild patterns. That data is already set to go in spreadsheet form and pined in the forums. With the corrections in bold.

Seems like a good start, just wish it didn't dox me by using my real name if I sign in with Google.

Looks interesting but I can't see an option to register or sign up? Edit: Without SSO

This should be updated according to the google doc.

What browser are you using? I can double tap to zoom. Granted the site is terrible in mobile.
