Website Problems
(Category: Weblog Stuff )

Several people have commented that the site is fubar today. It was fubar last night but should be fine today. Here's what happened:

The Bartender designed a new look for the site. He was done quite a few days ago but due to my schedule and some stupidity (when I did get time to implement the new look I didn't have the files with me) I wasn't able to make the changes. I finally caught a couple of minutes yesterday around 2:00 my time to make the changes but my large table from the Bestofme Symphony was beating the hell out of the new template. Just as I was preparing to return to the original index and style I had to leave for home as my ride (Dopple-G) had to leave.

This left the site in a FUBAR state for about an hour and a half until I could get home and get the time to restore it. During the FUBAR time the new style sheet was apparently cached for some visitors and since I'm now reverted to the old style it is making the site look FUBAR PLUS.

If it looks like there's no formatting or style present on the site, try forcing a refresh by hitting F5 (Internet Explorer) or whatever the steps are for your browser. If the wrong style sheet is cached somewhere on your service (ISP, proxy, whatever) then Snooze Button Dreams is going to look ugly until they recache it.

MuNu also suffered an attack on our DNS servers last night so that could be playing a part in this hullabaloo. Pylorns is pulling up sonicwall.com when he tries to go to www.snoozebuttondreams.com. Others are probably similarly affected.

It's difficult for me to diagnose because everything is working perfectly from my seat. If you encounter wierdness please comment on it.

UPDATE:

The problem is all DNS. The $mtbloghost$ is www.snoozebuttondreams.com so every time that reference is used in scripts, generated pages and links, etc, it is fucked for people who can't resolve www.snoozebuttondreams.com.

By the way, here at home I can't resolve it either. Yay.

Anyway, I changed the script reference in the index file to reference snoozebuttondreams.mu.nu instead of $mtbloghost$ so at least the index page will be usable for people who get here via snoozebuttondreams.mu.nu.

Help me, Pixy, you lord of the DNS services. Help me please!

Sorry Darlin'. It still looks FUBAR here and I've not only refreshed, I had to shut my PC down a while ago.

Still screwed. I bet if you clear your cookies on your system Jim, it'll looked f00ked

Nope. Cookies and cache cleared and still looks fine from here. Made a couple format changes and they show up fine.

This blows chunks.

Bogus! I tried to save this massive linkfest last night and kept timing out on me. Finally had to get up about 1:00 to finish the post. Just pulled up LeAnns site and it looks OK. Susie pulls up OK too. D'oh!

Bad news, bud. Unless your blog is plain white with black text, it's still FUBAR BEYOND ALL BELIEF.

BTW, quotations should be cited--your "Be wary of strong drink," quote was written by Robert A. Henilein and appeared in Time Enough for Love.

Posted by: Victor at December 10, 2003 05:20 PM

just noticed something--your page is coming up with an OBJECT EXPECTED error at line 61, right about where your quote script is, I betcha. Try losing that script and see if it's ok.

Yeah, its something in the coding that is causing it not to load the rest of the tables, it could be something located locally on your own personal system.

Posted by: pylorns at December 10, 2003 06:25 PM

yes its working, of course the issue with the comments.. no formating in here either..

Posted by: pylorns at December 10, 2003 07:16 PM

Cookies and just about everything off of the main page aren't going to have formatting. Individual archive pages won't work. Actually, they will work if you replace "www.snoozebutton.com" with "snoozebuttondreams.mu.nu". They won't have formatting though.

well, you could just pull the mtbloghost tag and use site root relative linking ... that way it doesn't matter which version (.com / .mu.nu) you're looking at it should still display the same

Things seem to be okay now. I'll definitely go through and do site relative links though. If it can happen once it can happen twice.
