So Many Updates
We've been very busy behind the scenes today trying to optimize page loads and fix broken things on the site. A quick rundown follows:
- Blog Alert Messages: If more than one player was watching a blog, a list of other players' cancel Alerts links would be included in messages. This has been fixed.
- Leaders: This page has been significantly cleaned up. It went from load times of 8-12 seconds down to consistently under 1 second. Huge improvement for the db.
- Artefact Result Pages: You now get a P/E on the result page of Hypes and PRDs to give you some extra info on the price movement.
- Unknown Blog on Artefact Use: If a blog had no title, an Artefact could not be used on it. This has been fixed.
- Press Releases: There has long been an issue with blog owners trying to issue a PR on their own blog whenever someone has performed an Artefact action in the last day. Now, owners can post a PR on the blog even if Artefact functions have also posted automatic PRs. Also, the entire PR system was upgraded to really solely on BSIDs rather than the much slower-in-the-db URLs. This shaved 1-2 seconds of blogs.php load times.
- Bonds A bug with failure messages when trying to bond out at the new 10,000,000 Ideas level was fixed. Also, the sort by time bug which caused it to sort by hour of the day rather than by date has also been fixed.
