Lets work on blog!project! - ARCHIVED - SEE FIRST POST FOR IMPORTANT INFO AND LINKS

[tsukinobyouin]

Yeah, it was completely down earlier, now it seems a bit slow.



P.S. rokun, you forgot to change the prepper name to your name on Momoko and Miyabi's recent entries.

[rokun]

^ Ah, that must have to do with the site problems (at least Momo's does >.>) cause I actually double-checked to make sure I had changed it... but then the post didn't go up. I think the same thing happened with Miya's. Odd that it reset prepper name but not the post body, lol.



Thanks for letting me know~

[thaipokecard]

I'm experiencing connection issue right now. I guess I will wait until later today to prep mine.

[suishouyuki]

I've had problems too... I'd click "Save Draft" and the page would sit there forever, but some other pages would work and then I'd find that the draft actually did save. It's just generally slow at the moment...

[WhiteForte]

I was trying to prep now, and I'm having the same issues.



edit: just got this screen

[frozenswinub]

^Same here.

Nevermind.

[strawberryjam]

The plugin that generates the thumbnails on the front page was causing all this site slowness. I made changes to it about 3 weeks ago because it broke after updating Wordpress. I've turned off the plugin, but I don't have the time right now to make it look good again via another alternative so we'll have to deal with it looking crappy for now. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



I wish my internet wasn't so slow so I noticed this earlier before it became an issue.. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... adwall.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headwall:' />



I'm going on a trip on Saturday, but I expect to have time to look into it. But just saying, just in case. Still, the earliest I can look at it is Saturday.

[WhiteForte]

Btw, to help with that stuff, you need to know php, right? 'Cause I don't mind learning now...

[strawberryjam]

Ideally, but I don't. And I managed to create the site (well, with a lot of help from Zaeleus) <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

Do you know HTML/CSS at least? You can see this post if you're actually interested in helping. I didn't receive ONE application for that role.

[WhiteForte]

Nope :/

I've been focusing in other languages. But, I think I'll start learning from now. I will tell you again in some time : )

[rob]

Sorry for being AWOL recently, work is always crazy at this time of year.

I'll be back ASAP!

[thaipokecard]

Do you guy still have trouble loading the page? It takes a long time to load or doesn't load at all.

[al kusanagi]

It will probably be that way until at least Saturday.

[rokun]

Yeah looks like it's down again... Oh well, guess it's time to find something else to do.

Hmm... I wonder what...? >.>



I could try posting to the rest of MM-BBS, but you people scare me XD (jk... mostly)

Al at least I've gotten to know quite well through his PokeMo comments. I feel I can relate to him, lol.



Oh! I can watch the Masters!

.......yeah. The Chinese kid could be interesting, though it seems he's down to 55th now.

[strawberryjam]

Aine and I will be away again from April 13th to April 21st.

I have to prepare for my flight so I'm sorry I can't really address the slowness of the site now. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[tsukinobyouin]

Stuff happens, no worries.



In the meantime, can we update the translator/prepper spreadsheet? Or at least talk about it in the thread. I think a couple of requests for preppers have been lost in the thread. Maybe we can make another "hey we need preppers!" post specifically saying who we need them for? I know some of the girls we don't have preppers for are pretty well liked so maybe that would help draw in new people. It seems like the people we have now are pretty busy already.



Blogs that need preppers (that I know of):

Suzuki Kanon

Oda Sakura

Uozumi Yuki

Okada Marina



And then I can't quite tell what the situation is with Berryz and most of C-ute?

[rokun]

C-ute (minus Maimi) are all being prepped by marena. Not sure if anyone preps Maimi for B.G.

As for my Berryz...

WhiteForte preps Captain, Momochi

eyikii preps Miyabi

yuuko preps Risako and Yurina



Also, if the site stays pretty much in this state (not able to do anything) while berry and aine are gone for the next week or two, I don't think I'm going to be able to fully catch up when it's restored. The problems maybe just can't be helped at this point, but just an FYI to my preppers lol, although I'm sure you'd get overwhelmed with everything too...

[WhiteForte]

^

I also prep Maasa <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

And I'm really sure B.G does Maimi's and Chii's blogs withour a prepper, I think he is really used to it, since he did it already for the Maimilog. So everything is covered there.



Btw, the site kinda works for me, so I'll try to do some entries now.



edit: just read that last part rokun. I'm not that worried about the blogs I prep, except for Reina. Oh man, getting behind two days is already a pain. I guess I'll need to reserve a complete day just to catch up with her entries.

[suishouyuki]

The site's still not loading for me. ><

[yuzuriha]

Well just so you all know Sakura's first blog entry is ALMOST ready to post, but the page keeps timing out on me. I have moved onto translating her second entry in the meantime, so hopefully I can do both at once when these technical issues subside.

[WhiteForte]

The site is working now : )

[strawberryjam]

I sure hope so. Just when I email the tech support about issues! That is life, I guess!

I hope it stays fine though. Sorry for the site looking unpresentable still.

[suishouyuki]

For me, it's still sitting on a white page with the progress thing spinning... I've tried to open the post-new page as well as the b!p home page, and neither will open. >< I don't dare refresh the two translations I have open in different tabs; I doubt they've actually autosaved since clicking "Save Draft" doesn't do anything.



I can still do the translations with Evernote, but at the moment I'm unable to post anything;;;

[WhiteForte]

^

If you are afraid to lose the translations, just copy the html (I think the tab is called Text) and then you just need to paste in the same field and everything will be the same.



And the sites seems to derp sometimes, but still I was able to prep.

[thaipokecard]

It's slow for me..... (only me?)



Edit: It works faster now. Seem like initial loading time is slow.

[suishouyuki]

Yay! It's working again!



@WhiteForte: That's what I would do every time I tried to save...but it would sit there and do nothing, so I'd just hit the cancel button on the browser. ^^; I ended up copying them into Evernote and closing out the tabs. I reopened them and then the site started working for me again. So...I don't know; maybe Firefox was confused or something.

[eyikii]

sorry rokun, i had a problem with my pc, but it's okay now <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />



i'm having problems with that database thing earlier, i've finished prepping nacchan's blog then when i'm about to save draft it got stuck,



then i checked it after a few minutes all that remains is the [DONE] part.



well its okay now. peace peace

[rokun]

Well I'm catching up with posts that have been prepped, though it seems everyone's still having problems since there aren't a lot prepped... and I'm having issues from time to time as well. At least it's working sometimes!



Actually, just now when trying to reload the front page, it looks like all blogs have disappeared. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> I'm guessing that at least will be fixed shortly... I hope... lol.

Edit: Yep, it's better now, if still not working perfectly. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

[thaipokecard]

I will be adding about 6 entries per day and hopefully, by Friday, I will be up-to-date.

[rokun]

^ If you need some help I could jump on to catching up with any Ayu/Sato ones you've not gotten to by tomorrow... though I think those are pretty well caught up already.





P.S.: There are a couple MM interviews which have been posted... I think I'll try and translate the natalie.mu one with Fukuchan/Ishida/Sato/Oda, though I might skip the Tsunku part... maybe add it later as a part 2. There's also a short Oricon one which I might do later on if no one else wants to jump on it.
