Planned maintenance: push notifications

Posted by Kim on March 24, 2019, 8:45am

Good morning/afternoon/various times of the day RPR community!

Our planned maintenance for push notifications will begin today at 10am PST (That's about an hour and 20 minutes from when this post is going live, if that's not your time zone.)

We're going to bend over backwards to avoid there being disruption in anything but push notifications during this time. You should be able to use the site normally. Push notifications may be unreliable or non-existent throughout the day, however.

The purpose of this maintenance is to test and hopefully release a new push notification system that aims to increase reliability and availability.

I would come up with something to go with Auberon's pom pom's, but my mind says: Nope!

But keep it up Kim! Make sure you give yourself a break here and there, so you don't stress yourself out too much!

Mine had a good working streak going, but I still appreciate the move, having had them stop working on me before.

@Mejasoulfruit: I had something similar happen to me when I first got on today, and clicked to open a mail. But it didn't mention maintenance. Just that it couldn't handle the request. But before I could do anything it loaded the message I clicked on.

Are "Roleplay repository is not able to handle this request" screen online just because of maintenance, or is it moreso a problem with my computer?

I've only had one very brief and very minor issue, but other than that the site still runs smoothly while the push notifications are being updated.

That being said, thank you Kim for working on the push notifications. They are helpful to myself, as well as others, when were not on the site so we know we have a post.

Keep up the awesome work, Kim!

As someone who relies on push notifications a lot, I am hype.

Well, whatever you changed - it worked. I hadn't gotten push notifications for weeks, possibly a month, but I've gotten two in the last 2o minutes. Thanks!

So I won't experience anything different than normal really hehe

Thanks Kim, I know you have a lot on your plate with all the recoding you're doing for the site and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say thanks for all the effort you put in to making this the best home for anything rp.

Don't forget to keep that belly full and stay well rested. Oh....and have you had a glass of water today? :D
