Product Updates & Casual Natively Discussion

What determines the “ongoing” tag on anime series? I see a few that I’m pretty sure are done (e.g. 合コンに行ったら女がいなかった話 S1 | L23) that are still tagged. Is that an update from tvdb or is it more manual than that?

I don’t know if the update is automated or not here, but the series is indeed tagged as ongoing on TVDB as well.
That being, I couldn’t find any announcements for a second season, so maybe tvdb also needs an update :person_shrugging:

Sorry about the Forum outage everyone! I update discourse and it crashed the server which lead to some complications.

All good now!

I read about 20% more than usual this day. Where did this time come from?

Ok I finally fixed this up!! You should be all good to go. I was hoping that the update was going to fix it, but no… there was something else going on.

Nitty Gritty Details

Essentially, when you click ‘login’ on the forums, it goes back to the main site and asks if this user is logged in. Once the main site says they’re logged in, it redirects back to the Discourse forum site with a super long url, containing encoded information. This is a problem because the main site only expected a certain amount of data in the response url and it errored (without good explanation) when @Pashmina was being redirected back to the forum site.

All I had to do was change the expected response url limit in a program called NGINX and now it’s all working.

The tricky thing about this one was that the login for most users generated a redirect url length just under that previous buffer limit, so it was only an issue for a few users.

Hey @brandon, can we expect an updated (short term) roadmap any time soon or should we not expect any major features for the time being?

@mic you’re right :stuck_out_tongue: :sweat_smile:

@seanblue Right now, no. I’m doing some personal reflecting and figuring out what’s the best plan for Natively going forward, whether that’s collaborating with someone or simply making a roadmap which gets me to a more sustainable business model which could also potentially lead to more consistent development. I have as a deadline February 1st to update the big picture thread.

Appreciate you inquiring and everyone being patient! :slight_smile:

I actually finished my book I’ve had going since November. Can’t believe @brandon would strong-arm me to actually read like this.
