With sadness, after 13+ years, we are retiring hosted Scratchpads, effective from the end of September 2023. Please see our blog for more info https://t.co/ZcQWC7bPfV. A massive thank you from the scratchpads team to all our users and the community you've built!

@github

Server alright?

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@halooie1 Release 2.11.1 now available and being gradually rolled out.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

Aiming for a new release to be out on your site in next 2 weeks. Includes fixing IUCN and tabs. Details to follow.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@halooie1 Release being tested on our test site now. Then we would therefore be aiming to start general release possibly this week if not next.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@halooie1 Release 2.11.1 now creating and is being gradually rolled out. Your site https://t.co/U1dOSuxjpO has been updated with it.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@mcarper Yes and thank you Mike! As soon as I learnt my colleague Ben had found the solution, I updated that Drupal issue, so you would see it, to avoid us duplicating your time! Thank you for following up and nice to hear from you. Cheers, Rob.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@mcarper Hello! Drupal AdvAgg:We have 'www' included in cached file paths breaking styling, tried solutions here: https://t.co/Sg5pFA7cge I think upgrading our version from 7.x-2.8 to latest will fix it, instead of adding custom hook on the old version - do you agree? Thanks! 1/2

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

2/2 Here's our issue here (also mentioned on that Drupal issue): https://t.co/OgjoVdpfkl

Thanks again!

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@therobyouknow @IUCNRedList yes - API now works again, for example: https://t.co/El9yxs102K

So I can now resume testing:

Thank you.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@IUCN can you talk to your @IUCNRedList colleagues about this issue please. Thank you!

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

I'm awaiting @IUCNRedList to advise me when their API will be back up. One of the things being fixed in Scratchpads is making use of their new API v3 and I would need to complete testing using it. It has been working before, in December.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@therobyouknow @IUCNRedList @IUCNRedList Would welcome update on when API will available - potentially affects when I can provide new Scratchpads release.

Appreciate you all might be very busy working on it, but communication is an important task as part of that.

Don't know how else to contact you sorry

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

Rob - Holiday/vacation: I'm in work today Fri 26 Aug 2022 and after that back on Wed 7 Sep 2022.

My colleagues are available for contact through usual communication means.

Thank you. Rob

@andersonkieran Have PMd you updated login information.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

I'm pleased to advise that the password email reset facility should now work, following initial testing. More detail here: https://t.co/uNOv6xZc0I

If you've not been getting password reset request emails, I would now expect you to get these, when you request a password reset.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@andersonkieran Update - I think I have what I need to get you in.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

@andersonkieran Sorry to hear that Kieran. There is an issue with password reset emails which I am working on at the moment to resolve https://t.co/oYsgJKM8ob

I will manually create a reset email for you. This interim measure has worked for other site owners who had the same kind of problem.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

The root cause was due to a file system storage issue, our infrastructure team has advised.

[Scratchpad Team @scratchpads]

Sites should be back online. We'll make notes from this to avoid future similar incidents. Thank you for your patience.
