For the record, I believe that VV is currently down, don't know if it's know maintenance or otherwise. Noticed that this morning when I went to try and edit a page.

So has there been any word on why it's still down? I believe the last time it was down like this, it was back up within a day or so.

Not a clue, I don't even know who heads it either.

Sent an e-mail to admin, will pass along what's up soon as I hear back, if someone in the know doesn't pop in here first.

EDIT: No ETA on a fix yet but the problem is being worked on, waiting on the host for a server reboot now.

It's just not appreciated enough while it's there!
I miss my Virtueverse and recent edits searching and random page hitting...

And I have some updates to make, myself!

I just want to throw out another HUGE THANK YOU to the people in charge of and responsible for supplying us with the wonder that is VV!!

The VV Forums are also down. So I am thinking this is not just the database wedged up; the whole system appears to be hung.

That's what she said.

Hope that doesn't mean we're losing all our stuff...

VV appears to be working again.

Guess they finally revived the poor server hamster.

Probably a good time to note, its a good idea to back up your data on the wiki.

http://www.virtueverse.com/index.php/Special:Export

Go to that page then enter the exact title of you page, it'll export the whole page in a XML wrapper, then if you ever have to restore it its easily done. Obviously have to do images separately. But I always backup my wiki stuff, though mostly because its easier to work on offline where I don't have to worry about losing a massive edit to a browser snafu.

Awesome, thanks for the tip.

Anyone else having issues saving edits?

Can't seem to save changes to Wrecker Wren's page today.


They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Yeah, some of us noticed that last night. Can't edit, can't upload images.

I was beginning to think it was pretty weird that there has only been one edit today. Just need to play the waiting game again and it will be fixed. At the very least, the site is still up.

Edits and watchlists and... Pretty much anything that involves changes to the wiki post-crash all seem broken. I even had to log in three times, haha.

Still, nice to have the wiki back up and I'm sure these issues will get worked out.

Has been fixed since then, didn't work before I left for work at 3 PM EST, and it works now.

So maybe this is just me, but... has anybody else noticed certain segments of their character pages just not showing up? Not, like, being deleted from the raw text of the page, just never actually appearing in the finished product.

I would think it some sort of size limit, except my page wasn't any longer than many others I've seen, and not all the missing text was at the end.


Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.
