Tuesday Night Site Outage and Moving Changes In

March 08, 2010 at 04:18PM View formatted

We are going to upgrade the web server on Tuesday night, starting around 6PM Eastern Time. The site may be offline for 15-30 minutes while this is happening. This is to upgrade the version of Tomcat we are running. The version we are running is about a year older than the current version. I'm pessimistic that this will help site performance directly, but perhaps it will provide more clues as to what's been happening with the site in recent months.

In addition, we are going to take this opportunity to push live all the new changes for next season. There are a couple changes in there that might help performance, or at the minimum eliminate potential causes of performance problems.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Will stadiums go into affect in dynasty leagues when you make these changes?

Stadiums are already in effect for Dynasty leagues. Stadiums are moved into place when Offseasons run.

Sorry, should of clarified. I was asking if they would be in place tomorrow or when the offseason runs.

Stadium changes are only moved into place when an OffSeason runs.

How can you not like the change, pearly? An improvement is an improvement, the timing is completely irrelevant, right?

Yes, I'd prefer to wait until Dynasty leagues are in the offseason everything else being equal. But with the problems the last few weeks, I don't want to wait another week to move in these changes.

Fortunately, there really isn't any changes coming that impact strategy so I felt comfortable moving the changes in ahead of schedule.

All changes have been moved into place. I think there may be an issue with the Allstar pages which I'm looking at. Everything else should be okay, as far as I know. If you see anything, please post in Support.

Thanks,
Tyson

Hey Tyson, it looks like the Home/Away splits aren't working. It's just showing the players lifetime totals, not broken down by home/away by any particular season...

Postseason histories are incorrect. Especially years active and win/loss totals. Example- My NY(NL) team in the JDL reflects I've been active for 23 seasons, whereas I've only been active in the league for 13.

Scooter,
The team has been in existence for 23 seasons, not under the current owner's control.
