Looking into platform issues.

So the latest update to our hosting platform is out now, but NodeBB's own site is down so we are wary of attempting the update at this time and are waiting to see what is happening there before we gauge the value is trying to update this weekend versus waiting. We have no major bugs hurting us at this point.

Rackspace from what I have heard gives special deals for Spiceworks Community Members, haven't checked it out in a while but maybe someone else can confirm this?

MangoLassi is hosted by Rackspace!

On ML you can upload a picture using the little "picture" icon but that is only useful if you have a picture on you computer that you want to upload for us to host. That's fine but quite often you are going to watch to simply link to an image that is hosted somewhere else already and you just want to provide a link. Well you can do that, there just isn't a handy button for it. The syntax is very easy. Instead of the picture button, use the link button. This provides you with the link dialogue. Just like when making a link, replace the "link url" with the full path to the image (including the http:// part) and replace "link text" with "image.jpg" and in front of the whole thing add an exclamation point. Okay, that sounds like a lot, but do it once and you'll see how easy it is and then adding new images in the future that you already have hosted elsewhere is super simple.

802.11 is the technical name for what most people refer to as the "Wifi" series of standards.

The chat feature which has been down for a few days is now working again. The ML community was the first to identify the break and the NodeBB team jumped on it and discovered that the latest code release required a newer version of the underlying database. So we had to do a manual update to the very latest MongoDB and it appears that everything is working well now.

It seems that we are faster and hopefully more stable too.

Ugh that's going to be a little rough. We'll have to see how the other conferences fall.

Maybe those conferences should take a back seat to this awesome one!

Very happy that this update was able to make it out smoothly ahead of the big event this Friday.

Everyone at GroveSocial is super excited about this event. We are really looking forward to the boost that it will have for our little community here!
