site update

Is the What's New in Your favorites function working for anyone? Has this already been covered up thread?

No, mine hasn't updated today. 

Notifications for a thread take you to the top of the page and not the new message

edit to add: loading any post takes you to the top of the thread page

The "new in your favorites" is bugged on the home page.

Appears to be fixed. Could have just been a botched SQL statement/missing subquery/missing paramater passed to $whatever.

Yep. And regression testing would have caught it long before it hit prod.

Ha, hey don't have to tell me - I'm the dude that was tasked in making/running these tests!

New comments on posts notifications are bringing me back to old comments when I click.  Happening on all threads.  This was not happening as of a few days ago!

^ Yes, the link goes to the top of the thread, instead of exactly to the new comment. Very inconvenient.

Reading a thread with new posts does not remove the red 'there's new posts in this thread' icon that would indicate a new post since your last read of the thread. I can't post screenshots to show that very well, but it's at least happening in the Colorado forum.

Yes, there is still a “new posts“ indicator. It would be nice, however, if clicking/touching the indicator still linked directly to the new posts rather than to the top of the page.

Also, the "last visit" on member pages is off. Not updating.

Not to make light of how much work is going on behind the scenes, but, is anything at all improved noticeably yet? All I've noticed is the outlook india guys aren't around, but I've not looked at this in the wee hours when those show up.

It would be nice to know if we have anything to look forward to.

Yes, most of the more critical functions have been fixed. The search function is being worked on and though there are still quite a few tics, they’re being knocked off one at a time.

I think Old Lady H is asking if anything has improved from before the upgrade to now, not asking if they've fixed the things the upgrade broke.

Hey all, we're working as quickly as we can to fix bugs on the site. I'm one of the engineers helping with the migration and wanted to let you know that this is a high priority for me. I love this site, and I want to make sure it works and continues to get better. All the engineers working on the site do. The move was complicated and there are a lot of moving pieces. I've been personally reading and addressing bugs as your messages come in across many of the forums, thank you so much for the feedback.

Here is a list of a few of the bugs we worked on this weekend(including yesterday and this morning) and we're able to improve.

• Fixed issue where RSS feed was not showing correct data
• Fixed photo ratings not displaying
• Fixed map changes not showing on newly submitted approach trail
• Continuing to improve search functionality
• Classics now show stars if you've completed them
• Fixed an issue preventing 'ignore user' from working
• Fixed an issue preventing comment types from showing (beta, temp, etc)
• Fixed an issue where corrupt cookies were preventng the alternate grading feature from being applied
• Fixed and issue preventing route charts from showing correctly
• Fixed todo list not showing on route stats pages
• Fixed issue with user URL breaking in search
• Fixed climb mobile menu
• Fixed an issue preventing comments from showing line breaks
• Fixed and issue preventing More Photos from loading correctly on routes
• Fixed issue making all area maps load in Kansas City
• What's new sections should now be accurate and reflect updates in the expected areas.
• Fixed an issue which prevented changing the comments type in edit
• Fixed an issue preventing forum & comments notification links from jumping to message

Thanks for the details you provided, Dwayne.

The issue I mentioned above appears to have been fixed as well.

Thanks for this info Dwayne, could you tell us what this upgrade has improved or what future improvements we can look forward to? Or was the upgrade more of a eng-lead thing which will enable future dev velocity?

We updated dependencies that were long out of date/abandoned and reworked systems that were incompatible with our service provider. It was a really big change to some foundations that were inhibiting future improvements, bug fixes, etc. It does enable developer velocity, provides a more reliable way to deploy updates, and we've started introducing testing to the codebase which will continue to improve confidence in future changes to the code. Testing will continue to be a lot of work as we started with a coverage of 0. Some of the biggest changes were with the security of the site itself on both the backend and the frontend. We will try to get a more comprehensive list of some of the changes later on, especially ones that improved security across both the Adventure Projects and Mountain Project.

This is exactly what I was looking for thanks!
