As our campaigns have grown, increasingly people are finding that they get error messages after clicking on a ‘submit’ button. \u00a0I don’t mean error messages from the target — I mean our own scripts fail to execute. \u00a0Clearly our server is under strain when several hundred people try to simultaneously send off messages. \u00a0This will require a long term fix, both in terms of tweaking our software to speed things up, and possibly even moving the campaigns onto a different, faster server.<\/p>\n
As a first step towards making things more efficient, I’ve finally removed the unnecessary second stage – the one where you confirm you want to send off your message. \u00a0It’s now a one-click process. \u00a0You fill in the form, and you get the screen telling you it’s been done.<\/p>\n
On another matter, some idiot has decided to try to spam all our correspondents using our internal messaging system. \u00a0This will take a while to secure and to remove the spam content already sent (not all of you will have seen this). \u00a0Meanwhile, I’ve shut down the display of such messages until I can fix this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
