Data Engineers Have Optimal Solution To Restore Comment Function:
Success !!
It appears we have a workable solution achieved. Excellent….
….Welcome Back Gang… let’s test drive this thing.
Run it hard, use this thread to try out the stuff you are familiar doing. Let’s see what we need to tweek modify or adjust to get back to peak operational condition. Share your issues and ideas in comments.
We are no longer on Automattic/WordPress servers and despite the extremely tight forced eviction timeline we have achieved a safe rebuild ten hours ahead of deadline. Quite an accomplishment considering the scale of the task at hand, and a holiday in the middle of it.
There are a few random reports of regional DNS issues and here’s a few tips we are discovering from users:
♦ Make sure you are using the latest version of your browser software. Reports of Mac not reaching through to new site, but when OS “Big Sur” is added things improve.
♦ Make sure your cookies and cache are not returning you to old site activity. I apologize for this issue because clearing your browsing history is always a mess and can often require you to re-enter all saved passwords, but that’s one of the unavoidable issues with an entirely new set of servers and new DNS targeting.
♦ All regional Internet Service Providers (ISP’s), responses for queries and bookmarks launched by users, should be aimed toward our new servers now. Some of them took a long time to update, and there is a familiar pattern to it (discussion for another day).
♦ Remember, while we are using WordPress open source code/software, we are not operating inside the WordPress/Automattic platform. Some proprietary functions of WP/Automattic will not be available. I think the notification bell is one of those functions.
♦ There will be a new email-notification program initiated later today that will allow you to sign up for email notifications of new articles and updates. [In the works] In the interim Twitter users can use the notification function and all articles will cross-post to Twitter.
There are going to be features and site enhancements to come along later. Right now the priority was to keep everything as identical and familiar as possible. We will likely be doing some cool site changes now that we have full proprietary control and ownership of the site.
Thanks again for bearing with us as we work through some technical issues, search for optimal solutions, and fiercely retain the original values and mission priority of the Treehouse. The Truth Has No Agenda
Please be patient if you get hung up in a moderation cue. It may take time to release some comments if they are hung up in moderation. The site admins do a great job with comment moderation and release so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue; and quite frankly, there are likely to be benefits from not having WordPress/Automattic software filtering through the comments as they post. Spam removal will be a priority.
Thank you for your support and fellowship. We will always work diligently to deserve it.
As word spreads… the voices of the rebel alliance are arriving now. The best open-source researchers in the world are firing up their laptops and preparing for the most critical moments in the battle to save our nation. The CTH printing presses are rebuilt, oiled, and the deep rumble of the machinery is slowly building to a deafening roar.
We are extraordinarily thankful… and itching to get FREE VOICES back into this fight.
Love to all,
~ Sundance
Congrats! So glad yall are back!
Reply function works more better ✨
Excellent work! Congratulations on a successful migration.
God bless you in your labors!
If I delete my WordPress account, would that hinder me posting here?
I can only reply to a comment. I cannot initiate a new comment. Help?
Great to have the Treehouse back.
GOD bless Donald J Trump!

Sundance and crew, thanks for all you have done, are doing and will do
Thank you Sundance & team for a job well done! I was having serious withdrawals! My iPad would go to new site but not my phone. Looks now that both are up to snuff & my little branch is finally synced up! ?

It is soooo great to see this site up and running again. These last couple of days have been filled with so much sickening election reporting via hearings that call out for discussions here.
No, I’m not new, have lurked for over 4 years.

Aussie patriot reporting in! Congrats on the successful move over to internet independence! This is the best f*ck you to Silicon Valley and their censorship overlords.
Hello Test
I don’t see all the bugs are worked out. When you click on the emoji it brings up a word press screen and when trying to post on other articles it comes up and says failed.

Hello, Everyone! It is great to read the articles and comments again! Thank you Sundance for your knowledge, planning and hard work.

GOD bless you all 🙂
Remember we are still in a fight for our Constitutional Republic…
There’s a monster on the loose…
to put our heads into a noose…
and it just sits there…
waiting.
Gratitude and thanks seem too little. It was 1PM Sunday when it struck me how much I rely on CTH.
It struck me that I once again had to forge alone like I used to do…feeling powerless and alone, but, occasionally finding a kernel of wisdom to pass along on other outlets. My friends even took notice. I got better, but after all of the negativity in the news, the change recently removing FOX from my diet entirely….It was not the same.
It struck me how powerful we are and was a grand reminder of how close we truly are to the other side taking power and decimating America as we know it.
It also struck me how fortunate we are to have Sundance and team. This truly is The Last Refuge. Thank you Sundance and Team.
The best is yet to come!

Sundance, you and your team did a great job in turning a disaster into something better! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I am sad, it’s not working for me.
It didn’t work until I clicked on the the button that said save my name, then it worked. Why is that?
I missed this web site.
Thank you for working so hard to fix your site.
I love this website too. I have learned so much over the years.
Been lurking since the Zimmerman days. This is my first ever comment. Love The Treehouse.

Testing, testing… Can you hear me there in the back? Testing…testing. Hi fellow treepers. I don’t speak often, but I do so appreciate all who reside here. The combined intelligence, logic and honestly are a godsend. Thank you to all who make this treehouse The Best… Ever. ?
Loud and Clear!
ok
It’s nice to be perched back on my little branch.
i was having actual withdrawal symptoms!
The Eagle has landed!
Welcome back, Kotter!
So glad to be back on my branch…I was having serious withdrawal !!!! as I think Eddie Murphy said in Trading Places…Looking Good!!!!
So happy I wasn’t left behind. Hi folks♥️
sundance,
some scripting convenience issues remain unsolved.
navigation: at the top of the page the navigation “older, newer” exists, but it does not appear at the bottom of each comment page. This means the user has to go back to the top to find other pages. My recommendation is to restore those navigation scripts as they were in the original 1.0 site.
reply bug: when replying to a post, a user should have the ability to “cancel” reply and that reply field evaporates from the page. This does not occur. The reply field remains …AND the bug exists that posts that DID show just under the comment dissapear….only a page refresh restores them.
both of these two issues are easily solved by taking the script from the 1.0 site and reapplying them ..I believe these a JS scripts Probably 2-3 lines of code.
I’ll post more suggestions and if I find other bugs I’ll post them and send via email for feedback.
platforms: chromeOS, using chrome. win10, chrome and opera, and edge.
I have not had the time to test this on IOS/safari and also android …I will do that tomorrow and report back.
otherwise….great work…I know this has been a great pressure on you and your team to get it right and timely.
I appreciate your efforts…
We have a country to save.
God Bless!
So glad you’re back
Test.
Thank you for all of your team’s hard work and the hard (but in my mind right ) decision to not delete an integral part of who / what the Treehouse is to some.
So good to be home. I was going through withdrawal. Bless you, Sundance, and all the techies who brought us through.
Test only.
It seems I can reply but cannot comment. Can someone help to allow me to comment?
Test complete. I thankfully was able to post!
Fingers crossed this works
24 hour service. Yay.
Sorry, Ad Rem. Trying to see which way gets me from getting stuck in moderation.
Testing….
Thank God. I was having serious withdrawal symptoms. 🙂 Off to kick some tires….
Enjoy this 30 minutes of flaming truth bombs from Dr. Linda Tarver, who has 30 years of experience working for the State of Michigan under 5 crooked Secretaries of State. Video is already queued to her appearance at today’s Michigan Senate Oversight Hearing.
Wonderful accomplishment in outmanouvering the evil empire of satanists plans to throttle the truth.
Thank you from Scotland.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Glad you’re back. Yay!
Well that was quick! No delay at all in posting.
Congrats on the upgrade, Sundance…thank you and the Team!
I stayed off until you were finished, so I might have missed where you said why there are no “likes” or “notifications”.. but I think for some reason it’s a lot faster to get around on this site. I like it!
Congratulations and MANY THANKS for everyone’s hard work to make this crucial achievement such a success!
I’ve only posted 3 times in 5 years, but I am a daily reader that relies on the wisdom, incite, and honesty of Sundance and our fellow Treepers to help keep my sanity while surrounded by craziness in So Calif!
God bless you all, and God bless and keep Donal J Trump!
