So the big question is: 

When will it go down again? 

Hi everybody 

always good to test upgrades locally and separate concerns so you can upgrade your application code without affecting your database and vice versa.

second of all either virtualization or automated server provisioning would allow you to spin up a newly upgraded server and test it out on a preview url before pointing production traffic to it.

WATMM has been incredibly resilient though if you think about it, considering it's still active for nearly a quarter-century.

cool, thought it was just me

And for the compensation:

WATMM is now AD-Free for the rest of the months! Wuhuu! 

Good to be back :~).

Honestly thought I was banned after my Killing of Kanye West comment Which to be fair was a bit stupid. But you know I’m an expert on doing random stupid things, and that’ll likely never change. Glad everything is back and running ok  

Who will I talk to about music if there’s no watmm? Errr. No one!

Hail watmm

Ouch, so 32-bit Ubuntu ≤ 16.04 LTS

If I remember rightly too, there's no direct upgrade jump from a really old version straight to very latest; you have to upgrade to the next iteration each time.

Yes, in an ideal world, that is exactly how it should be done - this is honestly the first major server upgrade we've needed or had, so there never really was a compelling reason to do exactly what you're describing.

sooo when you opened up the server it must have been held together by essines's hair, jedy's ball hair, and xelah's bike chain?

This problem is persistent and has gotten worse because now the text prevents clicking on the icon that takes you to the first unread post.

Which theme is this, and on what screen? I tried both WATMM dark themes and I am not seeing this issue.

Also, is this on mobile or PC?

@JoyrexIs there a way to make it so ignored users' avatars also don't show up? There are many places on the site where ignored users are still visible, eg when a "most recent" post is theirs.

I'm feeling very old and my body is falling apart. Maybe try to patch user health and wellbeing somehow?
