Yay, the server is back up. =)

It looks like it was just a broken switch. Luckily, the outage was fairly short lived, considering we had to drive quite far to the data center and then to the nearest place where we could buy a switch. Whew….we’re just happy the server is back up.

Sorry, the server is down =(

Our crispynews server is currently down as of 10:23 AM this morning, but we are working hard to get it back up as soon as possible. It seems like we have hardware failure. Hopefully it will be back up after replacing the broken parts. Wish us luck…

Modifications on page views

We’re currently experimenting with how we count page views, in order to combat bot traffic, which has increased lately. You may experience some sudden surges and declines in the stats provided by crispynews because of this.

We hope to have this settled down to a consistent method soon.

Raft of updates

If you’re a site admin, you’ll notice we’ve been quietly streaming out a raft of new items in the admin console. Some things are items you’ve always been asking for. Others…are things which may be useful for you. Check it out and let us know what you think.

FYI: There was a minor outage today for about 7 minutes. The problem is resolved and we’re back online now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Main page redesign

We’ve just launched a few changes to our main page in order to make it more friendly towards casual browsers and not just site starters. In addition, a few backend changes have gone into gear and we’ve been beefing up our infrastructure in order to support enterprise use for the Crispynews platform.
