Yes, we have had some issues. First there were no comments enabled on the new chapter of Edge. (yes, there is a new chapter of Edge! Click on the link to be taken to it.)
Then the site went down completely.
4Padfoot spent 9 hours (yes, NINE hours) on the phone with 7 tech support agents to get this site fixed. She deserves a round of applause from everyone for her immense patience and sense of Git Er Done, that she had. (sorry M has been watching comedy shows as well as Jackie Chan movies. I need to get him out of our room and the apple tv back in my control!)
WordPress was aware of it and issued a new patch to fix the security issues. If any WordPress users get notice of a new update, please install immediately! If I understand it correctly, this is across the board. On the website that you host, and the free one. So please do install it before you have issues.
However, I will reiterate it again, we have the site fixed. And for any ladies who are listed as betas, if you have not sounded off in the Beta Chat, please do. We are working on roles of the people who are on the site and cleaning up the backend of the site. Since we have essentially restarted on the backend, we are using the opportunity to clean up some loose ends, if you do not sound back to us or have other deals with me set up, you will be erased.
So what does this mean for you, the general reader?
Nothing.
I am using this as a chance to reach out to people who have been listed as a beta, to see if they still want to be thought of as a beta. If they are just on a hiatus, then I don’t want them losing all the fun stuff just because Real Life has interfered. Real Life sucks and I don’t want to take away anything that could allow them to escape. Since as a beta they get to read all the raw stuff also.
But for what I know you are really wondering; Kittyinaz,when are the next updates coming?
I am working on it. I have spent the last three days (and possibly tomorrow) out running about trying to get my iPad fixed. It works, but we have issues that the guy is trying to fix. He is awesome, but my iPad is being ornery. The screen just doesn’t want to stay glued down! Until that is taken care of, I have been trying to deal. Texas is NOT helping, with the weather being all freaky. We have the AC on, but it will be the heater tomorrow or the day after. Oi Vey! No wonder the Flu is very prevalent right now!
To be clear, I am working where the muse takes me while trying to edit a chapter a day. It may end up being a week, but like I edited an original story in under an hour, anything can happen. Or I can happen to feel in the mood and write a couple of chapters in an hour. It is all relevant. I am hoping to update everything this year, and hopefully, finish quite a few. Yes, I know When I Pretend as well as I Never…Did and In The End are favorites to have updates. I am trying.
Off to bed, to hopefully sleep, or relax. Hope you guys enjoy the site being back up. And thanks to everyone who told us. Neither 4Padfoot nor I had any idea since we were busy with other things.
