Lol! I reminded them of the little notification on the top with the latest news (2018 news), was a little outdated.
Grateful they fixed it.
I also noticed it being a bit slow.

Thanks for posting CoolGTX.  I check there every few days just to make sure things are working right. 

Big Update, Finally!

I was finally able to push out a BUNCH of the code changes to the main server that I've been doing for the past month! Like I said before, this is mostly behind-the-scenes changes (the processing scripts probably got the most re-work). I rolled back a few of the incompatible changes temporarily so I could push out the other improvements. With the bump in the backend codebase, going forward I can now roll out smaller updates more frequently.
 
Before I forget to mention, you might have noticed things running a little sluggish these past couple weeks. I *finally* got around to writing a script to go through and prune the data for idle users. 'Idle' in the sense that they have no new points in the past 7 days. The script goes through each 'idle' individual, recursively deleting out duplicate records where their Points / WUs don't change. Basically I'm removing old records that are only where the team rank changed, for idle users. There is nothing that displays rank change beyond the 7 days time frame, so there's no reason to keep years and years worth of that data. The script starts a week prior so that the change in rank up/down display doesn't get affected. I did notice there were a few edge cases were it would show an idle user active that really wasn't, but that will clear up in a week's time. Anyhow, it's still going through the users but hopefully will be finished in the next day or so. I ran a query and while there are ~10,000 active users, that only represents about 2.2% of the users being tracked! The other ~451,000 / 97.8% are 'idle'. So, on the positive side I've probably reduced the user history table down to 1/3 what it was before, and still shrinking!
 
Let's see, what other changes... You might notice some changes to the graphs. Now the graph numbers only scale if the points go beyond one billion. I tweaked the layout a little and was able to consolidate a lot of the code (and some of the files even) so now they are much more consistent across the board. The code was such a hack before, and with each chart I made was a bunch of copy & paste duplicating a lot of common things. Now it's so much nicer and easier to manage.
 
Sig image code also got a lot of clean up. I switched the file type from gif to png as the files ended up being slightly smaller.
 
------------
Anyhow, I need to do a little more tweaking to the graph code, then I need to take a look at the XML code and fix a couple minor things, sooner rather than later. Then finally hopefully I can tackle the UI files and style templates. Those are going to need some major overhauling. In the back of my head I'm thinking about how to make the site 'mobile friendly' as I know people would probably love to be able to flip through it easier on a cell phone or tablet, but that is still pretty far off right now. We'll get there though, eventually...
A big thank you to the people that have recently sent me a donation since my last news post! Always appreciated!

UPDATE: Okay, I just ran the 3pm update manually and it appears to have gone smooth (as expected). Going to change it back to automated now, but I'll be closely monitoring the next update too.

Looks like those Updates, mentioned in above post are Happening Now   And the site is Back
