Community Dashboard Disabled Temporarily

Site is currently in read-only mode; Community Dashboard will be back very soon.

This is how it looks like right now. Is there another maintenance check right now?

Yes, but for some reason, they did not announce this one.:confused:

Hmmm, we can’t seem to edit and it’s only on read-mode. Why hasn’t anyone announced this? Weird.

We are currently doing  maintenance  and wikiHow is temporarily not accepting edits. We plan to be in Read-Only mode for only 10 minutes, so check back soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

It’s how it looks like on the side right now.

Very weird indeed. Normally, they announce these types of things.

Can we have @Adelaide or an admin here an discuss this? Anna’s offline, isn’t she?

We are temporarily in Read-Only mode, so we cannot accept edits. This will be fixed very soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

This is how it looks like right now when I opened Community Dashboard right now.

Scared the heck out of the. The whole site suddenly went down

Yeah, I wonder what’s going on?

When did this start happening? 5-7 minutes ago when I couldn’t open wikiHow?

Saw that message too just now and it says the dashboard is currently disabled. I think @Adelaide may be offline too

I do not think that Anna or Adelaide would be offline during something like this. I think that they could be doing something that is server related, although I think that would probably require announcing, which they did not do.:confused:

This is probably an emergency maintenance issue that they’re fixing. It’s best just to be patient and let them work on it:slight_smile:

Well, they did not announce it. Otherwise, yes, we will be patient.

Yeah, on my website I work on too, we try and announce even emergency maintenance somewhere on the website or social pages. Could be an hacker attack though

@McDonalds1 , I agree. 

Everyone please be calm and patient. It won’t take long and hopeful we can take care of this. 

wikiHow is being attacked by hackers??? D: D: D: D: D:

*gulp*

It’s not a hacking attempt.

I asked Lojjik and he said it’s a database issue. Reuben is working on it.

That was actually my first thought when I saw the database error, but let’s see what happens

@McDonalds1 , what? Hackers! Don’t be silly! Haha! I can assure you nobody is hacking wikiHow. Everthing’s fixable on wikiHow and have a little faith everything’s going to be just fine.

At least the forums work to catch up in the latest news.

Database issue? Phew. Maybe it got a bit overloaded

Eveything’s fine. We’ll have wikiHow set up in no time.
