So, if you weren't around during the final hour of the Jam through Submission Hour, the site effectively went offline. It didn't actually, but having to wait 30 seconds to 10 minutes between pages, it might as well have been. This lasted for roughly 3 hours. 1 hour before the end of the event, the entirety of Submission Hour, and for nearly 1 hour after.

Some poor site performance and downtime is to be expected. We've joked for many years that the site going down is a "tradition", one we certainly kept this time. I don't know what the terminology is these days (DDOS?), but we always slashdot ourselves at the beginning and the end of the event. And you wont see that happen again until the next event.

The other problem was a bug with teams. I neglected to make it clear that only the Team Leader would be able to edit their page (for now). But the bug, if a fellow team member creates a game and adds you to their game, it confuses the website.

~~So I'm writing this post, then I'm going to bed. I'll be addressing this first-thing when I wake up tomorrow.~~

~~As a workaround if you add /edit to the game page URL, one of your team members may be able to edit their game. Also keep an eye on the page ids (i.e. the $ number). Try passing the same number around to your team. One of your members should be able to edit each one.~~

If you still have problems, reach out to me, and I will help.

When this is working, you will be free to add/remove team members from your games at any time. So if you're having issues getting everybody attached to the same game, just give it a day and try again.

EDIT 1: All team members can edit game pages now

Ok! All team members now have permission to edit game pages. This should be enough to get one of your game pages submitted.

The My game button at the to may still point to the wrong game for you. Plus it has been giving people the $41927 name of the game, rather than the nice slug name you get when you click on the title. That will be fixed soon.

Work continues... :smile:

EDIT 2

Team permissions should be fix now. My Game at the top should take you to the correct game for all team members, and should be named correctly (sorry about that). The only special feature the Team Leader has now is they are the one that adds team members. That's it.

Judging to start Friday

I hate to push back judging, but I am going to need a day to address the team issue above so that everyone that intended to submit does get to submit.

So come back Friday. We'll have cake. :cake:
