We'll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I've had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.
Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.
Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.
We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh… it's July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let's hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.
Just a heads-up. I ended up having to create a new login at lemm.ee because even after the improvements in speed and so on with the upgrade, for all intents and purposes it looks like my account here may have been wiped. Can’t login from anywhere, getting “Record not found” whenever I try to sign in on Connect, “incorrect login” from Jerboa, and a spinning button and then nothing on a PC browser, basically treating my account as if it doesn’t exist. Some folks appear to be able to login though. Is this an ongoing server issue, or did my account actually get wiped? Same username (Grangle1) as on lemm.ee.
Logins are returning non found errors. It’s a bug. If you had a previous session that’s as already logged in, you should be able to access it.
