Update 4 June 1200 GMT: Corrected a problem which prevented server administrators accessing the admin pages if the server was unavailable.

Hi folks, this latest update is more to do with behind the scenes changes than any new features. This allows us to update our infrastructure to support more functionality in the future.

The one thing I will highlight, though, is that all URLs which point to profiles, clans, charts and so on have changed, therefore, please update any bookmarks you may have. The old addresses will continue to work, for now.

Server owners may be pleased to hear the bug fix relating to server settings being changed, as this problem came up a lot in support tickets.

As for the rest of you... hang in there!

Changes

- major change to how URLs are handled. all profile, clan, chart and server URLs all now have a game short code at the start (e.g. "css"). legacy redirection is in place to move old Internet links to allow for the transition
- major changes in application code for gatherer (g1) and the web site to include better multiple game support
- g1: fixed bug that meant settings changed on the web site via the admin control panel were not applied until the next day (instead of within 15 minutes)
- reduced the number of SQL callbacks in a number of areas relating to game data
- improved data reported by JavaScript error handler and added note about buggy browser extensions
- changed URL of link generated in server and profile signatures, in case IP addresses or names change
- fixed links to server web sites on the server detail pages
I am lead developer for this madness.
