Over the past couple weeks, the YWS server has experienced momentary spikes in incoming traffic. These spikes last for no more than a couple minutes and are usually about ten times the volume of traffic the server usually gets. It's quite clear that it's not caused by human beings, but I'm not quite sure what is behind it. Anyways, the YWS server has more than enough ample capacity to easily handle it without any problem.
I don't monitor the WFP server nearly as closely so until today, I never checked to see if it was suffering the same issue. Sure enough, it is, which is odd to say the least. And since the WFP server is many times less powerful than the YWS server, it can't cope.
Anyhow, I'm going to set up Cloudflare to work on WFP. If the traffic is malicious, then Cloudflare is supposed to block that kind of stuff. If, on the other hand, it is legitimate traffic, then I guess I'm about to find out.
Hi again... I was just wondering whether the hashtags were working properly. Because I've put three #randomenter ones on different walls, including my own, and only one of them is coming up, whichever one I click on. I've tried on Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I have no idea what the school computer's operating system is, but Windows Vista for Chrome and whatever iPod is for Safari.

Thanks Auxiira for pointing that out. It looks like what happened is that there's an extra tag somewhere (probably a </div>), which is definitely a bug I need to address.
Also thank you for all the bug reports! Keep 'em coming.

I've only tried this on the school computers, but here we go:
The chatbar doesn't work when you're writing a new blog post. It shows how many people are on, but when you click on the "who's online", you just get a white box. You can't access any previously started chats, either, and you don't get told when someone sends you a message.
I've tried this on three different days at different times, and it always shows up the same. Firefox and IE, no idea what operating system (not for lack of searching)
edit: now tried at home, Windows Vista, Chromen still not working

I am having issues with the chat room. It shows no one is connected to the chatroom, and when I click the button to open the chatroom all I get is a white flash screen inside the chatroom screen, simillar to what happened a few days ago which required the use of the back-up chatrooms
The hosting provider for the chatroom, 123FlashChat, is apparently experiencing some issues. I've emailed them asking for more details, but haven't heard back yet. I'm not sure when it'll be back up.
Edit
Fortunately, they were pretty prompt about fixing the issue.
Okay, so I feel bad about making this a bug report since I'm thinking it's not the site that's the issue, but I figured I'd see if this happened to anyone else.
Ever since I upgraded my phone to iOS 7, the "Remember me" function doesn't seem to work on it. I log on, leave the site for a few minutes, come back, and I have to sign in again.
It was completely normal before that, and desktops/laptops work fine. I know you've said we can't expect everything to work the same on phones, but it's pretty obnoxious and makes me want to log on less.
I checked the cookie settings and changed them to "never block" and it didn't work. Is there some other setting I should change? And has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks.

I looked around a little bit, but couldn't find anything about cookie problems with Safari on iOS 7, so it's probably either YWS that's causing the issue or there's something on your phone that's causing the issue (possibly an app conflict).
I also double checked the cookie settings on YWS, and it looks like they're good. So, I think it might have to do with an app conflict. At the very least, even if remember me isn't checked, you should remain logged in for at least 30 minutes unless you log out or close the browser.
