LlamaServer down for 48 hours

[WraithLord]

A troubling though had just crossed my mind.
Given that server was upgraded to 3.20 and given that most games haven't hosted yet what happens to all the guys that sent their turns before the llamaserver went down and so in-fact have sent 3.17 turns.

llama, what is your recommendation?- Do you think a warning email should be sent to players to tell to make sure to UL 3.20 turns?

No WraithLord, that will work fine. Players are fine to send either a 3.17 or a 3.20 turn.

Hmm, well I guess there seem to be sufficient reports of e-mail frustration to imply it's not working as well as might be hoped. I have two possible plans for improving the situation. Unfortunately, a 5-minute attempt at each failed (computers never do what you want), but I know they're both possible, so I will have a go at them tonight. In the meantime, apologies for any frustration.

E-mail seems quite mysterious. Obviously it's working seamlessly for the majority of players, but for a few it's being stubborn. I've no idea why.

BigDisAwesome - I received your e-mail, but the LlamaServer didn't. Very odd indeed. Anyway, I forwarded it on and it received it straight away from me. So you can at least rest assured that your updated turn finally got through.

Awesome.

Doubly so since so of my 3.17 turns have already hosted.

Thanks llama. That sure doesn't make much sense.

Email is definetly mysterious. I still havent gotten it completely where I want it on my servers. A person could make a whole job out of understanding and setting up emails.

But if I can help out, feel free to ask. And lch has some background on the subject also.

[llamabeast]

Okay, I have significantly improved the e-mail system. Hopefully it will work well for people now. Let me know if you still have problems.

Gandalf - thanks for the offer! If I come up with any more technical questions I will be sure to ask you.

If you want a redundant backup system, I can create you a mailbox on my system. You can set your email addresses to duplicate to that address. That way they can just store there in case you need them.

[llamabeast]

Thanks Gandalf, but I already have just such a system set up with a gmail account. It has come in handy more than a few times when I have screwed things up!

Server is working fine for me now.
