Explore Functionality Disabled

As CommunityWalk grows we want to ensure that we give our paying customers as reliable and fast a service as we can. We've made a number of improvements to facilitate this over the past few weeks and we've temporarily disabled the explore functionality. Most of our customers display their maps on their own websites so the explore functionality was not getting much use regardless and it was the worst offender to any reliability issues we've been having so removing it shouldn't affect people too much and should help provide very fast and reliable service going forward.

Remember Me

We've been so caught up in development for Wedding Mapper that we haven't been able to give CommunityWalk much attention over the last few months. So we just wanted to write to let people know that we are still going and are making sure that CommunityWalk is as stable and reliable as possible.

We also finally got around to adding in a "Remember Me" feature that will make it so that you don't have to log in to the site every time you visit. This has been the most request for some time so we hope it will make up for some of the recent neglect.

Server Migration Complete

Ok, I think we are out of the thick of it. We've migrated the servers, put out more than one fire, and managed to maintain all data through out. We were worried that some data had been corrupted, but we were able to restore it with out problem.

From here on out we should be able to scale without issue. Hopefully :)

Server Migration Issues

We've found an issue with our migration that took place last night. Some of the data that was imported was corrupted during the import. We need to reimport the data. This means that we will likely lose all information that was entered into the system this morning.

We are working on a way of restoring the information from this morning, but it does not look good right now. If we do lose this data then we will work with everyone affected to minimize the inconvenience this will cause.

Server Migration

We are planning on migrating CommunityWalk's servers at noon today. Hopefully there will not be much downtime.

Upgrading Servers

We are in the process of moving CommunityWalk to new servers where they can get more resources and hopefully provide a smoother and faster user experience. There might be some hiccups along the way so please bear with us.

In fact yesterday we had a problem with our email servers and email stopped coming through to the communitywalk.com domain. If you sent an email to us in the last 24 hours you'll need to send it again as we did not receive it. We are receiving email now, though, so it should be successful if you send it again.

Important Message

We recently found a bug with our new embeddable maps that was preventing them from displaying properly on Safari. We've addressed the issue but it required changing the code snippet. So if you have a CommunityWalk map embedded on your website you'll need to get the latest code snippet from CommunityWalk and replace your existing code snippet.

Handling Growth

Over the next few weeks we will be deploying CommunityWalk to a new hosting solution that we believe will give us the ability to grow indefinitely with minimal problems. Until this new solution is fully deployed and all the kinks are worked out there may be some downtime. We will do our very best to minimize this as much as possible.
