Forum Downtime

Hi Everyone,

Many you may have noticed the forum was down throughout the day. The issue was found to be in our database service provider. We've upgraded our database and things have now stabilized. We apologized for this downtime and have implemented several things to improve:

1. Better internal notification to ChefSteps developers when things go wrong

2. The database upgrade provides us with better debugging tools

3. More ChefSteps developers are familiar with the forum technology stack.

Finally, we're always looking for people to help us out. If happen to be an experienced software engineer or know someone who is, take a look at our open positions: http://www.chefsteps.com/jobs

Have a great day!

Huy

We had another bout with downtime today. However I think we've found a good long term fix for it.

This is something I've been having a problem with for a while but it seems to have gotten worse lately. Whenever I'm on mobile generating a post when I click create it thinks for a while, the blue progress bar moves across but nothing happens. I have to go back and load the main page, click on the + button again, it remembers my post and I hit create again and it posts immediately. I have to do this every single time I generate a post. I'm using safari on an iPhone 6
