Title: Site down for maintenence today for about an hour
Post by: Dread Pirate Roberts on September 13, 2012, 09:33 pm
Hey, the site will be taken offline for about an hour sometime soon today.  Nothing exciting, just maintenance stuff.

Thank you truckloads for the heads-up notice DPR! It is very, very appreciated.

Let’s keep bumping this thing and keep it at the top of searches for recent topics. Sure helps us when we’re having difficulty reaching SR, and our model requires regular connectivity.

Thanks for the heads up! Kind of sucks because I was right in the middle of something but it is good to be able to look over at the forum and see that it was planned.

Maybe they will get the vendor feedback % fixed  ;D

Hope my newbie buyers interpret this right :) Would be great if you could announce this on the website a few hours in advance as well, as a news flash or something.

Maybe they will get the vendor feedback % fixed  ;D

Went down right after I finalized an order, I'm stuck on the feedback page. Will I be able to finish leaving feedback when the site is back up? Transaction really went great, and I want to give credit where it's due.

yeah, just go to your orders page. The Finalize and feedback are two separate operations.

DPR, can you please attach thermite explosives to the SR servers. Trigger them remotely in times of emergency.

This is a legitimate security request, not a joke.

Ok so firstly, what is the link to the clone sites so I know not to go there.

Secondly, even if they could install a tracking device, how can I prevent them finding out who I am? I want a detailed explanation if possible please.

The 'orders' link doesn't work for me, every time I click it I get re-directed to the homepage.

It didn't do this before the maintenance happened.

Yes and also, now when you press "back" on the tor browser, it loads the whole page again, when previously it just went back to the cached version.

Like, when I used to press back it would instantly go back to the last page, but now it actually requests to load it. Was that a part of the changes you made just now 13 September 2012 DPR?

I was refreshing the webpage waiting for maintenance to be over, and somehow I ended up on http://ylpxccutfhxcswkv.onion.

I was simply refreshing by clicking the Silk Road picture in the upper left.

What's weirder is that when I hit back to go back to SR, the picture in the upper left just links to silkroadvb5piz3r.onion. Any idea how I ended up on http://ylpxccutfhxcswkv.onion/, or what it is?

Can't confirm the problem with the order page, working normal for me.

Also clicking on the SilkRoad icon top left has no weird behavior, inspecting the element also shows that it links to the normal SR url.

The site is up for me BUT when i try to look into the shopping cart it just sends me back to the homepage. I can however access the orders page unlike sone other users.

I would like to confirm that the Order tab doesn't work for me nor do the links to my favorited vendors

When I click on my name to go to my profile page, it takes me back to the home page.

I've been unable to reproduce any of the "redirect to the homepage" issues.  If you restart your browser, do you still have issues?

no problem here clicking usernames (own or other) , carts or order page using vanilla Tor browser.

Hey DPR....

You should make this thread a sticky so it stays on the front page until the maintenance is done...

On the order page. You changed it to "place order" this go-round. Thanks so much. It made me feel like I was ordering MDMA from rednecks. "You want some ecst'y, you goddamn sumbit?"

I am also experiencing a redirection to the home page when clicking on the Account link at the top of the screen.
