I admit that I do like the idea that isurf.ca is hosted outside the USA, but there's no practical reason for me to feel that way.

Closing new registrations on iSurf Social for now
Hi all,
I've been noticing some interesting performance issues here on iSurf Social, so I'm shutting down new registrations for the time being until I can figure things out a bit.
If you know of someone who you'd like to recommend or allow in as a user here, don't hesitate to let me know, as I'm open to that. Closing the registrations is just to control the accessibility to the general masses for the time being.
Thanks!

We're on the RC code!
Hi all,
If you had issues logging on at all tonight, it was due to a further attempt to get on to the new Friendica Release Candidate. Fortunately, due to the abilities of one of the developers, Mr. @Hypolite Petovan , the issue causing us all the problems was found and there will be suggestions & improvements filed.
Thanks very much, @Hypolite Petovan, and to everyone else on the system, enjoy the improvements! If nothing else, a variety of bugs have been fixed and the back-end database structure has had further improvements.

Likely more up date attempting on Sunday
Hi all,
I'm not sure if you've noticed along the way or not, but the attempts at getting the node up to the latest release candidate (and on track for the next stable release) haven't gone according to plan.
I am looking to take another stab at it on Sunday sometime, so there may be some short outages happening then. I've updated the date on the home/login page to reflect that I'm still planning on causing interruptions.
Here's hoping things move ahead this weekend! I will post again once I have more useful details.
Thanks.
Random maintenance/outage(s) starting today
Hi all,
As I've posted about on the login screen, I'll be trying to get iSurf Social upgraded to the latest Friendica Release Candidate code. Yesterday had a failed attempt and some downtime while the site was restored, and there will be more outage time as I go through the updating process, and rolling back if necessary.
No need to worry if you can't connect to the site at any point over the next couple of days, just me working away on it.
The notice on the login page looks like this:
NOTICE: Aug 28, 2019 - We will be doing intermittent work on the site over the next few days in order to attempt an update to the latest release candidate code. The site may be offline entirely while some of these processes are ocurring. I will remove this notice once the work has completed successfully. Thanks for your patience!
Some unexpected downtime this evening
Hi all!
It's been awhile. I went to do the update to the latest Friendica -rc version and had some issues. Unfortunately this -rc update has some significant database changes, so to roll back I had to restore from a snapshot I took just before attempting the upgrade.
Apologies if this affected you. I believe the next attempt at the -rc (after getting some clarifications around the issues I saw) will require some downtime in order to help it succeed, so I'll try and post an announcement about it.
All appears to be running fine again now.
Enjoy.

I guess it's not an issue with the forum node itself. Probably related the memory issue where posts get dropped, I suspect.
I'll post over a the forum to discussed this in more detail. I will mention you and ask others to check forum posts coming on their nodes.
super useful, but events could use invites
iSurf Social Updated to latest Friendica Release Candidate
Hi all! It's been a quiet little while around here but things appear to have been just ticking along nicely. Hopefully the current release candidate code doesn't disrupt that much, if at all.
If anyone sees any issues, please reach out!
Thanks!

Friendica 'POST' URL for Sharing Extension
I need to make a custom url link for this extension, as the extension developer hasn't added Friendica to his list. [[url]https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/addtoany-share-anywhere/ffpgijchhhkhnokafdeklpllijgnbche][/url]
I used the following placeholders, but it doesn't work. https://social.isurf.ca/link=${link}&title=${title}
Any suggestions?
I don't want to keep hitting the server using trial/error. Thanks!
Posts are not published in public community
Dear all,
I just realized that my posts are only published to my contacts and my pinboard, but do not go out to local or public community. I am sure that I have changed a switch while "playing" around. When I try to send a post, I select to "public"
Does anyone has a clue where I can change that?
Thanks a lot.
Tom

Domain blocking
I have another tech support question. I wonder when they're going to add the ability to block domains. I've stumbled across whole servers that are devoted to unsavory and illegal content, apparently out of Asia, but see no way to block it.
I considered superblocking with wildcards but have read that this doesn't work, so I haven't tried it.

Minor bug in web interface...I think
I think I've found a little bug in the Friendica web interface. I'm not sure where to report it.
Running Firefox on Linux here. It appears that the thumbs up/down indicators are not updating properly. Here's what happens.
If I click thumbs up, the display goes gray for a moment, then the thumbs up turns blue, as it should. If I click the thumbs up again, which should toggle it off, the display grays for a moment but the icon remains blue. You can click again and again and it remains blue. You can click thumbs down and the same thing happens. You can have both thumbs up and down showing blue.
A bit of experimentation manually refreshing the display shows that the click detection and server behavior is correct. The second click actually does toggle it off at the server. It's just the browser display code that's not updating the color.
There are two discussion threads about this. In the other thread, one of the commenters also got his browser to display both thumbs up and down at the same time, which should be impossible. The thing is that once he did that, I had the same indication on my browser. It showed him as both liking and disliking the comment. For that to happen, the server must be in an invalid state.

Today I noticed I cannot type in the reply box. I have to click comment on someone else's comment to post to an existing thread. Did something change on the server?
