Uploads disabled for site maintenance

Post by Gymmli »

Hi,
I've been trying to upload fresh data for days now but when I try to go on: http://www.warcraftrealms.com/upload.php I always have this message: Uploads disabled for site maintenance.
Are the uploads down for everybody ?

Thanks,

Yes, they're down until the site can be updated to include the new Allied Races which went live with no warning or time for preparation; Bringoutyourdead did a great job getting the addon updated within a few days but he doesn't do the website updates so we have to wait until Metalbeast has time. A little frustrating (I and probably a few others have several files saved waiting to be uploaded now), but we can't do anything other than wait. :(

@Balgair: Yes... File pile is approaching 40 and total size already blew 160 MB.

Files Sizes Growing Too Quickly?

Post by Korwynd »

It seems like the file sizes are growing quicker than they used to. I rename a file for save keeping since uploads are currently disabled, but when checking the new files a couple of weeks later they are already at 5-7 megs and anything over 6 megs causes issues when trying to upload.

I think sometimes my renamed files aren't disappearing, but are being restored by WoW, as I can look at it the next day and my "new" file is larger than the renamed one of the previous day. I've taken to deleting the backup file as well (Censusplus.lua.bak), and that seems to work better; I know it's properly deleted if everything's reset and I have to reenable autocensus etc.

@Balgair:

I opted for a slightly different approach by cutting and pasting my backlog into dozens of folders so that things look roughly like this:

Backup04042018Aunsent
Backup04042018Bunsent
Backup05042018Aunsent
Backup06042018Aunsent
Backup06042018Bunsent
Backup06042018Cunsent

...and so on... and I also noticed that sometimes the cutout was filled from the .bak, other times not. However, I think and hope that I managed to keep them all under 8 MB, though I do have a LOT of files.

@Bringoutyourdead:

First of all a MASSIVE thank you for getting things to at least somewhat working condition. I can not post in News and announcements, but wanted to let you know that Firefox version is progressing, though still weird, number of races varies on different pages, but I usually see 17 (with Void Elves being the most common one being missing) and as far as I can tell, the bars are ok on some, but not all as at least one version of some pages reported humans as being the least played race in the alliance, which simply can not be correct. I am guessing things will get to order eventually, so I am not complaining, just letting everyone know that some data may be whacky at the moment.

I uploaded my first backlog file from February and am now waiting to see what happens. At least it reported as having been uploaded correctly so I am saying so far so good. :)

EDIT: Should read 15, not 17, silly typo. :(

@BOYD: My first backlog file has been processed and I am seeing a minor amount of February data on my claimed characters, so at least something IS going through as usual. :) Three cheers!
