January 24th, 2005 -- Our support ticket interface is currently down for repair. In the meantime, please send new category requests to newcategory@fanfiction.net.
January 19th, 2005 -- Unrelated software issues with two servers resulted in site down-time earlier today. Normally FanFiction.Net can sustain multiple server failures. Unfortunately for us, the 2 failed servers were part of the same cluster group. We are planning to install triple redundancy for the failed system to prevent such incidents in the future. January 16th, 2005 -- As result of our weekend relocation, email alerts have been backlogged and we are trying to send them out as fast as possible. Please be patient as all alert emails will be delivered within 24 hours. January 13th, 2005 -- Major Maintenance Alert: Between 4AM and 12PM Friday, Jan 14th, 2005 US Pacific Time, FanFiction.Net will be performing a time consuming task of relocation our servers to a new hosting facility. During this service window, all web and email services will be off-line. We apologize in advance for the down time but it is something we cannot avoid. The improved facility affords us new opportunities for growth in terms of space and bandwidth. December 31st, 2004 -- Have a Happy New Year! With 2005 around the corner, FanFiction.Net would like to thank everyone for their support in the past year. Over the next 3 weeks, we will be gradually rolling out a new version of the site. Work has already begun though most of the critical changes will be under-the-hood and out of sight. The 4th iteration of FanFiction.Net will pave the way for future additions. If 2004 was the year of stability, then 2005 will be the year of renewal. December 9th, 2004 -- QuickEdit has been updated to v2.03:
December 3rd, 2004 -- "Backup" feature has been upgraded to "Backup / Export". The new feature allows a writer to export the text of published chapters into Document Manager for editing. Please login for details. November 27th, 2004 -- We have restored submission access. Happy Holidays! November 24th, 2004 -- We have confirmed a serious bug which corrupted many entries dated pre-2003 during our last upgrade. A recovery process has started to resolve this issue. Upload access will be disabled until recovery completes. November 23rd, 2004 -- Thanks to everyone for their patience as FanFiction.Net underwent the largest technical upgrade since inception. We are now ready to unveil the fruit of our labor. Embracing the world. For the first time ever, FanFiction.Net is proud to announce full language compatibility to almost all languages on the planet. Before today, non-english language submission and display support had been at best very weak and at worst unusable. We encourage all writers that have previously submitted non-english entries to update their story content, using the edit/replace feature, to assure full compatibility. With any significant upgrade, there will be unforseen problems. If you experience trouble with garbled text or strange characters after submission please email the actual file used in the upload process to info@fanfiction.net. November 21st, 2004 -- Planned website upgrade has started. Reviewing, registration, and login/submission features have been disabled until further notice. Please be patient with us as this process will take at least 48 hours to complete. November 18th, 2004 -- FanFiction.Net will operate in read-only mode, with submission and reviewing features disabled, between 12AM Sunday (11/21) and 12AM Tuesday (11/23) Pacific Standard Time. We will use the 48 hour window to complete an extensive upgrade of our publishing engine. November 15th, 2004 -- QuickEdit 2.0 has been updated to address two issues:
November 10th 2004 -- QuickEdit within Document Manager has been upgraded to version 2.0 and the easy editing feature has been ported to the Settings page. Users no longer need to tinker with html when editing profiles. As result of the changes, text for many profiles will be displayed without line breaks. We encourage all members to visit the Settings page and update their profiles using the new formatting tool. October 30th, 2004 -- A tripped circuit breaker caused a site-wide outage between 6 and 8 PM PST. We have resolved this issue and will make preventive upgrades early next week. |
