For the love of port website
Posted: 20:21 Sun 26 Jan 2014
The FTLOP site has been down all day - did I miss an announcement saying it was undergoing some maintenance this weekend?

Not sure who that guy is. He seems to enjoy arguing with sensitive types from the former colonies.LGTrotter wrote:Perhaps Derek being so argumentative has caused it to collapse into a pool of tears.
You mean I couldn't mention on ? If true it suggests a neediness which I have suspected for some time. But I forget my manners, I know that there are many here use as do I. Although I am not a registered user as I was irked by having to join just to look at the tasting note database. And I am sticking to my principles, such as they are.jdaw1 wrote:Correct rule, wrong direction.LGTrotter wrote:I am not sure that we are allowed to name it.
I didn't see an announcement but I know there has been a major upgrade in the pipeline for some time.AHB wrote:The FTLOP site has been down all day - did I miss an announcement saying it was undergoing some maintenance this weekend?
I saw that last night and thought it was pretty funny. Though my first reaction was that FTLOP had been hacked, and then my second reaction was "why on earth would anyone bother to hack ftlop.com???"Andy Velebil wrote:Should be back up and running, sans the cute girl on the home page
Trust me, like any website, we've been hacked in the past. Just not this time. There was an issue with our provider. It should be mostly resolved. Some people may need to refresh their browser to clear it and see the site again. And it appears to be working slower from some. By that I mean at least one person I know is still seeing the dating website, I am no longer and all is working fine for me now. I assure everyone it's being worked on as we speak.Glenn E. wrote:I saw that last night and thought it was pretty funny.

I just looked and it's back to normal for me. Over the weekend I could see the changes for a while, but those are now gone.Andy Velebil wrote:Trust me, like any website, we've been hacked in the past. Just not this time.

FTLoP hence needs a new icon, which should also be used as a favicon (the 16×16 picture appearing next to the URL).
A first draft:
I admit to not loving the first draft, but that is the nature of a first draft. Suggested improvements welcomed from anybody but the final decision is Roy’s and his alone.
(The draft is in .GIF format, for use as an image on a page. To use it as a favicon it will have to be converted to .ICO, which can be done once the design has been approved.)

Please use the former for on-page graphics, in particular, as a emoticon. Please could the emoticon not have the BBcode as changing the meaning of that BBcode would edit the posts of people who have used it. Perhaps would be acceptable. Though the old graphic could cease to appear on the list of emoticons.
