  6. Just leased a new server for AtariAge, with 24GB of ECC RAM! Current server only has 4GB. This will be a HUGE performance benefit!

      Thank You Albert. I want to show my appreciation. Please expect the first shipment of creamed corn next week.

      @ax Good thinking. He can cook it on this poor overheated server we're on now.

      @Albert - Great news!!

    2. Albert

      Still shopping around, current server is 4GB (hey, ECC RAM is expensive!) Looking at a 24GB server now. Could probably load entire forum database into RAM!

      And the like function is still partily broken -- plus I'm stil having the problem with posting new replies if I quote someone.

    3. Albert

      Albert

      Can you describe how the like function is broken and what problems you're having with new replies? Might be easier if you start a thread in the Website Comments forum. Thanks!

  9. Forum upgrade completed, although need to fix a few issues with the skin. Also, reputation points are offline temporarily while I research and fix an issue with the database (which was causing the slowdown and errors people were seeing).

      Nobody is going to notice, it's down all the time anyway. :P Been getting internal server errors since midnight last night.

      The Like points are gone now. Anyone who left AA because they had fewer points than everybody else can finally come back.

    3. Albert

      Albert

      It's only temporary, I have to fix a problem with one of the tables that manages reputation points as it was growing out of control (and was the main reason for the errors everyone was seeing).

    1. Random Terrain

      But we don't need to help the errors. We need to eliminate them. :D

      If you followed FOOTBALL you'd know what day of the week it is, since you'd know whether someone's playing THE BIG GAME today or something. Perhaps you need to take up FOOTBALL.

  21. Need 7800 cart shells

    1. Albert

      Albert

      7800 cartridge boards do not fit in 2600 shells, at least the earlier shells (they do fit in later red label 2600 shells, so I can use those also!)

    2. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      Yes, they do. I showed you how. ;)

    3. atari2600land
