Well, this is embarrassing. Itâs taking longer than I hoped. Letâs shoot forâŚ

And weâre back - I hope!
WTF have you done to my screen. Itâs more white than a Leeds supporting KKK member.
This?
Sotonians is going to be going on and offline today for a while whilst I hunt down a couple of bugs.
Iâll wait until 10am to start the process so you have until then to do all your bitching, moaning, virtue signalling (you know who you are) and general morning Sotoniansâ ablutions.

First bounce didnât solve the problem - I thought it would.
Weâll be going down again in a little while.
The management appreciates your patience in these trying times. Like fuck.
Bertie?
Yeah, the little fuckers gone deep this time.
Got the little twatâŚ
Geeks only - and only really bored geeks at that
We have maybe 10-12 plugins and finding the source of a bug like this involves removing the plugin from the build - which means a recompilation and 10-15 minutes of downtime. The best way to do that is to do a binary chop to eliminate a chunk of plugins until you see the problem resolved and then focus on the other half of the plugins.
Iâve now established that Bertie is hidden in one of two of the plugins that we use for Locations and Calendar.
As the plugins are from the same author and having looked at how their code handles avatars I thought they both might be the source of the problem.
I disabled them both and the Avatars returned.
Now I donât know if they both have the problem or just one of them.
So now I need to enable one and test, then enable the other whilst disabling the first one and then test.
Another couple of bounces should let me know where the issue is.
So at 12:01pm weâre back.
Weâve lost the functionality of the calendar which was only really used in the ordering of the match fixtures but since COVID-19 has eaten The Football, we likely wonât miss it.
We will also no longer have options for ReplyGif and ImageFlip - but as they stopped working a while back, we wonât miss them. Well when I say âweâ I shouldnât include @Intiniki in that.
Youâve really fucked this up. I hope youâre proud of yourself
Bertieâs revenge.
Sorry, Fatso.
Bit harsh??
Not harsh enough imo
