Technical Difficulties.WHOOPS, OUR TIPS EMAIL IS SICK WITH PIG AIDS: Ha ha, how do we get into our tips email account, anyway? This is a funny sort of problem that happens regularly, because who really knows how any of this stuff is set up, and all the Gawker people who might know were fired/laid off long ago. So, if you sent important tips this morning, we didn’t get them. Might be working now, though!

We'll Be Right Back?NO WE DID NOT BAN YOU (YET): We don’t know what’s going on with the comments, either. But we have our comment boxes again, on our various machines, across this great land. HEADQUARTERS is maybe working on the “can’t comment at Wonkabout” problem? Okay here is a fun challenge: If you can comment, but couldn’t before, please explain what happened, in the comments, and then we’ll have TECH SUPPORT read these comments, the end?

WTF?SAD COMMENTERS PLZ TRY AGAIN! Are you one of the unlucky people who never got your new commenter account working? Try again now! Some kind of secret fix has been done by the Experts somewhere. Thanks, and sorry.

  • STILL CAN’T COMMENT? If you’ve created an account and can’t comment and can’t create a new account (with that name and e-mail address), our tech people kindly ask you to search all your spam and junk mail folders for “Wonkette commenting.” There’s a link in the email; you click it and it activates your comment account. Still not working? Send us your commenter name and email address and tech will try to manually activate your account.

HELPFUL COMMENT REGISTRATION TIP? If you’re still having troubles, try registering a slightly different commenter name with a different e-mail address. This is “working” for a lot of people who got stuck.

COMMENTERS: WE FEEL YR PAIN! We are aware of the ongoing tragedy, in that many of Wonkette’s loyal, bestest commenters are still locked out of the system, even though they’ve tried to re-register, and did everything as instructed. Hold tight; the tech team is working to fix it, and like Hillary, we shall overcome (these minor technical difficulties). Will post an update as soon as the problems are resolved. Sorry!

We Have Moved! We’re In Here, Somewhere!

So many problems

Late in the European Night, a new baby Wonkette was born. It is, of course, terribly deformed. But modern technical medicine can turn it into a beautiful, vulgar little swan. Your editors can’t really put up posts right now, due to a kind of monster called a “Domain Name Server.” (Your editor is sending this from a crashed spaceship.) Luckily there is no politics this morning, hurray! TIPS: If this page looks extra screwy, go to Tools or Privacy or whatever your browser has, and EMPTY THE CACHE, and EMPTY THE DOWNLOAD HISTORY, and then restart your browser and try again. Thank you, and next week you won’t remember any of this. (We put a roofie in your coffee.)

Your Wonkette Is Moving, Tonight!

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Hello Peoples! Remember that whole thing about your Wonkette getting a new home, and all that? Well, it is still true — and tonight, Wonkette will suffer the miracle of transmigration. What will this mean? How will you, the Wonkette Community, be affected? Will it hurt “down there”? Find out, after the jump.

1. The site itself should look basically the same, and should function in basically the same way, only better.

2. But it’s a website, on the Internet, which is a computer-based system, so of course some stuff is going to be way fucked up. If you see something weird, do us a favor and check again in an hour. If it’s still weird/broken, please sends us a note to the tips@ address with the subject line WONKETTE ES BROKED REPORT. (And please include your browser, browser version and operating system.)

3. YOU MAY HAVE TO RE-REGISTER TO COMMENT. We don’t know, for sure. But we warned you, long ago, last month (?), that we would require a new comment system, as the old comment system is actually just our little corner of the massive, billion-user Gawker Media commenting system, and it was impossible to take that with us, plus it does not belong to us. It is Gawker’s. (So you will still have your Gawker commenter logins/post pages/etc.) We are trying to move over as many of the old comments as possible. Hopefully they’ll be there tomorrow. If you have a God, pray to it.

4. That’s about it. Moving a five-year-old politics site with tens of thousands of individual posts going back to when Howard Dean was running for president, that is no easy task. The very good people at Pressflex and BlogAds are making this happen, with the very nice help of the fine peoples at Gawker. Thank you Henry, Miklos, Gaby, Nick, Gabriela, Tom, Levente, Scott, Zoltan, Erin, Zsolt, Jory, Christopher ….

5. And thank you nice people for reading, and commenting, and forwarding, and tipping, and for your Patience during the move, the end.

IMPROMPTU EDITORIAL SIESTA UNFORTUNATELY OVER: Your Wonkette was just down for a couple of hours, because of either polar bear protests or the unreliable nature of the Internet. They were the best couple of hours of all time. But now, we type again! Thanks for tuning in.

Please stand by!WE ARE SORRY THEY BROKE OUR SITE: Nobody will tell us why, or what they’re doing, but obviously the site is screwy for a lot of you. Sometimes it helps to close this site, empty your “Internet Cache,” and reload/refresh the page. Sorry!

WE’RE SORRY; HAVE SOME HOPE LIKE WHAT’S HIS NAME! There’s something wrong with the comments. Technical people are thinking about this problem right now, and possibly “fixing code” or whatever. Hang in there! We know it’s Friday and you’ve got so much to say to us, instead of your boring co-workers.
