status update

The problem we were having earlier today with failed crossposts was due to a merge conflict in one of the code modules that the crosspost worker uses. I thought the merge conflict was fixed before the changed module was pushed live, but apparently it was not. Alas! Woe! But alierak fixed it a few hours after we were informed of the problem, and crossposts should now be back to normal.

A short while ago, a few of you started reporting a new issue with loading Dreamwidth pages via https. This was not related to the code push, but rather an update to the SSL certificates that we use, which were going to expire soon. One of the intermediate certificates was not in the correct format, and that problem is also now fixed.

If there is anything ELSE not working, do let us know, either by commenting here or opening a support request. Thanks everyone!

Accessing via HTTPS still brings up DNS errors for me occasionally. Never on www.dreamwidth.org, but as soon as I go to someone.dreamwidth.org, it's a few refreshes, with some minutes between each.

Yeah, we've been moving some services around, which causes problems related to propagating DNS changes. I'm told that refreshing the page while holding down the shift key is a thing to try that might help.
