Notice regarding Executive Staff badges

r3naissanc3r · May 26, 2015

Hello everyone,

TL;DR: Check the links to Executive Staff badges in your signatures.

If all badges are loaded from Dropbox (URLs starting with https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16293499/executive_staff/ ), you can ignore this thread.

If there are badges loaded from this server: http://azure.seas.harvard.edu/ns/executive_staff/ , then please update your signatures to instead link to the Dropbox versions found in the Executive Staff thread. You don't need to remove any badges from your signatures, you only need to change the links.

More details:

When the Executive Staff was first created, the original Executive Staff badges were hosted on my work server (this URL: http://azure.seas.harvard.edu/ns/executive_staff/ ).

At a latter point, this changed and all Executive Staff badges were moved to a public Dropbox folder, which also hosts several other TNP-related graphics. The Dropbox versions are the ones currently linked in the Executive Staff thread.

The Dropbox folder will remain online and accessible for as long as Dropbox exists, so you don't need to worry about those files. However, my work server is due to go offline in about a week, so those copies of the Executive Staff badges will become inaccessible.

Therefore, everyone still linking to the Executive Staff badges through the above Harvard server should update their signatures to instead link to the Dropbox locations (found here). Going through today's posters, I could only find Nierr using the old links, but there are probably others.

Best,
r3n.

P.S. Apologies to admins for starting a thread in this area, but it's probably the best forum location for this kind of thread. You're of course welcome to move the thread elsewhere.

P.P.S. The above server is completely unrelated to the one running our telegramming etc. scripts. That server is still running normally, and I plan to continue to maintain it indefinitely.

OOC/RL Harvard, eh? We from the U thank you for our new president.

Not sure which president is that - I assume, given the "new", that you're not talking about President Obama

.

Back on topic, I've found a few more users that need to update their signatures:

Lord Nwahs
Egalotir
Kialga
Paulwall
Nasania
Mr Insanity
Space
A Lost Soul

Lord Nwahs' in particular produces the vast majority of hits to my server. This is because he's the OP in the citizenship application thread. Given that Olvern is away, I would appreciate it if an admin could edit his signature to update the link for culture_small.png. Otherwise, everyone loading the citizenship thread will soon start receiving a timeout.

Thanks

EDIT: Could you also edit Lajikstan's signature? There's three badges to be updated: home_affairs_large.png, culture_small.png, and foreign_affairs_small.png .

He has a post in the first page of the Executive Staff application thread, meaning that everyone who follows one of the multiple links we have pointing there will soon be getting a time-out. I don't think Lajik is around anymore to edit the signature himself.

Thanks!

One more to be edited: david_'s signature (the "foreign_affairs_large.png" badge).

David has a post in the first page of the very frequently visited citizenship application thread.

Thanks in advance!

Oooooh, r3n's in trouuuuubllllle.

Deleted User (Guest) · Nov 20, 2015

I'd gladly help, but I can't edit signatures :/

SillyString · Nov 20, 2015

r3n could just take them down so they become ugly broken links?

r3naissanc3r · Nov 20, 2015

I've already done so, see earlier in this thread :p .

I've already pmed most of these accounts in the past to edit their signatures. Some of them did, but many of the accounts are long inactive, while others just haven't bothered :p

r3naissanc3r:
I received an inquiry from university IT about increased traffic from TNP's forum to my former domain. It looks like it's signatures linking to the old Executive Staff badges.

I would greatly appreciate if admins could take the time to update the Executive Staff links in the signatures of the following accounts:

Eluvatar · Nov 20, 2015

Went through the signatures and replaced all instances of "http://azure.seas.harvard.edu/ns/" with "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16293499/".

r3naissanc3r · Nov 21, 2015

Thanks a lot! I'll check the access logs and see if there are any other accesses.
