Dreamwidth Maintenance

another tiny code push, as a treat

We just pushed out some minor fixes for stuff that wasn't working quite right after last month's update:

various poll display issues
problems submitting poll forms when JS wasn't loaded
comm admins couldn't close a community poll created by a different comm admin
some broken links in the shop are no longer broken
the shopping cart form buttons shouldn't display when viewing a purchase receipt

If you notice anything weird that wasn't weird before yesterday, please open a support request! This will get the attention of our lovely, talented, and chronically underappreciated support volunteers, whereas a reply here will likely only get the attention of me, and I'm going to be spending tomorrow at my kid's quiz bowl competition instead of reading internet comments.

Have a great week, everyone!

Code push imminent... UPDATE: code push done!

We ~~are planning~~ did do a code push tonight! The exact timing will depend on people's availability but it should be sometime between 9:30PM EST and 11:30PM EST. Most of the changes included in this code push can be found in the most recent code tour.

Here are the new updates you are most likely to notice and appreciate:

fix for /customize applying intended community style changes to the logged-in user
fix for /manage/circle/edit not saving some changes
two new mood themes from Socchan
modernized design for the /poll/create page
modernized design for the /manage/profile page
support for adding Steam usernames on user profiles

We don't anticipate any meaningful user impact, apart from a bit of slowness here and there as things restart, but we'll be sure to let you know here and on Bluesky if things go unexpectedly pear-shaped.

UPDATE: deploy is done, let us know how things are going? 😉

Code Push Window

The code push scheduled for today will be starting shortly. There is little-to-no expected downtime. The patches being pushed this time around are on this code tour.

A note: any users who have enabled journal-styled icon pages will have that feature turned off as a result of one of the bug fixes. You can turn it back on right away, though! It's under Journal Icons Style on the Display tab in Settings.

-Kat

EDIT: All done! Report any bugs/errors/problems/squids in comments, please. Thanks!

EDIT: Some folks who are using certain Dreamwidth-native styles may have some odd display issues with the custom-styled icon pages. It's a bug! A fix is in the works, and will be live as soon as it's been tested. Should be fixed now! Comment if you continue to have trouble.

I'll be doing a code push shortly. Since it has been a month since the last one, I expect this one will be a little turbulent. There's a lot of fixes, tweaks, and updates going live with this particular push.

As always, if you see something terribly wrong, open a support request or comment here and we'll take a look at what's going on.

Edit: Push complete.

We just did a rather large code update, with something like 50 separate commits... that's a lot. This should fix a lot of issues we've been seeing.

As always, if you run into anything, please let us know! You're welcome to comment here, or open a support request to get some help.

Thank you!
