Weekly Help Desk Updates - July 18th, 2008

$hexentanz:iconhexentanz: reports, July 18
Welcome to the weekly Help Desk Updates. In these weekly updates we will attempt to bring you the most up to date news concerning the Help Desk & FAQ, as well as provide some helpful hints for super duper deviantART fun.

Free V6 Help

^Ikue:iconIkue: reports, July 11
Okay so if you haven't noticed V6 was launched late last night/early morning (depending on your time zone) to mixed reviews.

We as admins have had a little more time with it than the rest of the masses and as such I thought I would volunteer my knowledge with whomever is interested. Rather than complain that everything is different perhaps I can help show you how much more user friendly and easier the site is to navigate.

So... if you have a question concerning V6 please ask it. If you know of someone who is having troubles, please link them here. I will be updating this journal with your questions and hopefully answers to said questions.

Bug Juice Volume #16 - Weekly Bug Listing

$hexentanz:iconhexentanz: reports, May 18, 2007

Introduction



Welcome to Bug Juice Volume Sixteen, the second weekly article delivered to you by the Help Desk Team.

This article is meant to serve as the current bug listing for users for issues on the main site, prints bugs will not be noted here. Bug Juice articles will repeat the bugs weekly until each issue is resolved and any new ones will be added when they arise, when an issue is resolved the bug will be crossed off and phased out of the listing the following week.

Links to this article will be mirrored in the Status Forum.



System



Now before we get started to help you better understand some of the Status Terms that will be used throughout this article we have compiled a listing of descriptions below.


Acknowledged - This means a case has been acknowledged as being present and will be worked on soon, but is not a high priority.

Assigned - This means the case has been assigned to a developer and is in review and will be worked on soon.

Closed - This means a report has been closed, either the issue will be worked on along with another one or the issue was found not to be present anymore or will not be fixed.

Feedback - This Status means a developer has requested further information from the administrator who filed the report before they can continue working on the issue.

New - This is a new report and has not been assigned to a developer yet.

Resolved - This issue has recently been resolved.

Clicking an underlined Status above will take you to that section.

6.) Inaccurate Deviation View Counts - For some users their deviation view counts report views being in the millions or thousands.

7.) Deviation Lag - There is currently a lag time of 6-24 hours, affecting newly added deviations, causing them to not show in your gallery immediately. See [link] for more details.

12.) Activity Log not reporting 'all' Recent Data - Some activity such as recent comments on deviations or in forum posts is not showing up in logs.

13.) v4 Forum Threads Issues - Older forum threads in personal user forums report an internal server error when trying to post data to them.

4.) devWATCH Layout Change - Submissions are missing the date they were submitted and ordered incorrectly. ( Will be fixed in the new MSG Centre version )

I'm still "suffering" from #6, as well. However, the total number is accurate, it's just the daily totals are off. All of my deviations submitted on or after the outage day, it says every view came in "today", ie, an image listed two days ago that recieved 10 views on the first day, lists on the second day 10 views "today" and 10 views total.

:lmao: I've seen that happen to someone before.
Over 20,000,000 views on a deviation submitted the same day is truly a sight to behold :lol:
