The information under "Referrer Websites", "Search Engines" or "Keywords" gives "There is no data for this report" and "Feedburner statistics" has an error message. /[[User:AleWi|AleWi]] 12:05, 8 January 2013 (EST)

:Which website is this for? I checked out both Svenska and the English site, and both are showing data for those reports. The "Feedburner statistics" was just a sample module that has since been removed from Piwik. I've removed the link so you won't get the error any more. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 11:51, 9 January 2013 (EST)

== Strange bug with signing ==
 
Hi Jake, I've noticed a strange bug with signing recently. Sometimes when I type four tildes, it just adds the time and date and no signature. At first I thought this was just me adding a fifth but now I know otherwise after I made [[User talk:Do'h|this talk page comment]]. That uses a template that also adds in the four tildes and signs automatically when substed. However, only the date has been added. I'm not sure whether this has only been happening after the server move or not. Can you look into it please? Thanks, <span style="text-shadow:2px 2px 2px gold; font-family:Elephant">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span> <span style="color:green">Dragon</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:black">Talk</span>]] <span style="color:white">'''•'''</span> [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Contribs.</span>]])</sup></span> 12:40, 23 August 2013 (EDT)
 
:That's definitely strange behavior. It shouldn't be something new after the server move because none of the MediaWiki code was changed from before the move. The only change we've made is to add Cook879's SimpsonsFont extension. If this is a bug with MediaWiki, it should be resolved after we update to the latest version. Please let me know if this happens again. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 10:26, 24 August 2013 (EDT)

I've already inquired Solar about this, but I thought I'd ask you as well. On my Simpsons distribution user page, I'd like, in the gallery, for when you click on (Alternate box art) in the caption, for the alternate box art to show up in the image frame-thing.

:Hey Phinbart. This isn't really possible without a decent amount of Javascript or a MediaWiki extension. I've looked around to see if there are any extensions that enable this kind of behavior, and couldn't find any. I'm not great with Javascript, so I really wouldn't be the best person to ask about this either. If you can find an extension or Javascript code that would do this, send me an email and I'd be happy to look into it for you. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 13:36, 28 August 2013 (EDT)

We need to do something about these spammers, they've been hitting up for a few days now and our biggest attack was two nights ago. Last night's wasn't as bad.

:The spammers don't share a common IP, so we can't use that approach. Solar Dragon and I are currently discussing possible alternatives, and a captcha is among them.

www.simpsonswiki.com disappeared[edit]

Dear Jake,
I've noticed that www.simpsonswiki.com "A" record is missing from the DNS. That breaks millions of bookmarks and links worldwide. Could you restore it? Thanks --2F13 (talk) 02:59, December 27, 2019 (EST)

Hello, thanks for letting me know about this. I have restored the A record for the www subdomain, and it should start working again as soon as DNS propegates. Thankfully, it is unlikely that many links were broken as we have always 301 redirected to the non-www domain. Thanks again! --Jake 10:46, December 27, 2019 (EST)
Edit: On some browsers, I'm seeing an SSL error. I will fix this in the coming days when I have access to better internet. --Jake 12:40, December 27, 2019 (EST)
