Basketsim outage

Dear managers,

Basketsim.com has been off-line since Wednesday. The information up to know is that adiego is trying his best to solve the problem but the host (nexpoint web hosting) is down and their support is not very responsive. There is discussion going on in the basketsim facebook page as well: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Basketsim/308116441660.

Hopefully the problem will be resolved and everything will get back to normal. If there are any important news I will report them in the blog as well.

25/8/2012 14:40 CET Update: There is no significant progress. According to adiego he was promised by the web hosting company that the problem will be resolved in 24 hours (starting from Saturday 01:48) which means that we have to way until Sunday 26/8 morning. But I don't want to get your hopes up because the particular web hosting company had a lot of problems and all of its customers suffer a similar problem so solving everything in 24 hours is optimistic. (But of course we definitely hope to happen..!)

3/9/2012 17:56 CET Update: As of today there has been no substantial progress.

9/9/2012 17:55 CET Breaking (Good) NewsCopying from the facebook group:
The latest news from Adiego:
- backups of the http and small db tables were completed
- the big tables are waiting, but that cannot be done without superuser priviledges, so waiting for nexpoint response and hoping for that one last help
- also, i'm ordering a new server right now, all potential providers were examined into extreme details (reviews, uptime, performance, quality etc) and finally i was able to make a pick and i'm sure it's a great one!
- as soon as I get my SU priviledges back, I will complete the backups, move the site and then get it online on new server
- new sever should be extra fast, so there will be at least something positive coming from this situation :)
- all data should remain intact, only the match reports (texts only) will be missing for all past matches

I'm hoping for some development today already, when I receive new server, I'll start uploading data there (everything that is already backuped)

11/9/2012 19:12 CET Breaking (Good) News: It seems that the patience starts paying off. The basketsim.com domain is now under adiego's administration and soon we will see something on the page according to the facebook group.

Installing basketfox in Chrome v21


Dear friends,

One recent change in how Chrome extensions work makes us change how we install the add-on.

Starting from Chrom v21, in order to install the add-on (in fact any add-on) from the *.crx file you have to drag and drop the file in the extensions page (see an example).
