We moved servers over the New Year and, in doing so, got a few wires crossed and not everything worked quite how it should. Fancyapint.com’s quite a big site nowadays and we keep finding and sorting problems even two months on. And, one of the things we missed until now, was a malfunctioning comments system.

We’d thought things had gone strangely quiet over the last few weeks. We’d seen the odd comment here and there, but there wasn’t anywhere near the amount of dialogue we were used to. We thought maybe you’d all stayed at home because of the snow/recession/swine flu.

It turned out it was our fault. A broken link to a mail server meant we weren’t getting any notifications and you weren’t getting your registration emails. If you’d previously registered and had comments approved, any new comments would still have appeared, as this process is automatic, it was newcomers to FAP that we were serving badly.

We’ve  fixed the problems now and made a couple of tweaks in the process – the latest comments now automatically appear on the home page (as well as in the relevant review).

We’re very sorry we let you down and we promise to try very hard not to let it happen again.

Humbly, the Fancyapint? team
