Site upgrades are still in progress: I apologize for the extreme downtime involved with this update, there were unexpected complications. Site performance may be wonky until we're done.

NC adds: Right now, one of the site's internal caches is failing to populate which appears to be the cause of most of the lag. This issue did not show up in dev during our testing, and we can't reproduce it there, so I'm debugging on production to try and run it down. Furthermore, when setting up nexii for this article, I accidentally deleted it, and didn't realize it until it was purged. Oops.

Quick note; we'll be upgrading the site to rehash, starting at 20:00 EST, which requires large changes to both the front and backend setup. There will be sporadic downtime as we get through this migration. A full changelog will be posted after the upgrade. Sorry for any inconvenience.

~ NCommander.
[Update: Site upgrade under way; things are still not completely done but should be generally usable. If you find any issues, please join us on IRC in channel #dev (ideally) or post a comment to this story.]

    There's a big blank space where the logo should be. HTML source shows that the site isn't even trying to load it at all.

      Configuration issue. I'm writing up an incident report because I've been hacking on this thing for five hours straight and I need a break. I'll fix it when I'm done with the report.

    EST is -5 UTC, isn't it. But aren't you on EDT these days since it is summer? That is -4 UTC. Anyway, it'll be ready when it is ready. The team has been doing a great job with the site.

    Just a minor point, nothing important:

    Given that Slashcode is now Rehash, maybe it would make sense to also replace the "Slash" logo with a "Rehash" logo in the topics.
