I've missed this piece so much as well, and over the past year (or 2) have wished it could resume. What an incredible resource it had been (will be?).
Dave was stellar and put so much passion into consistent & excellent content - then 2019 happened as it did...

The Urban Toronto site has kept on with that original format though, (news, top discussions, photos and whatnot) over the past few years. None of the other Skyrise sites have I believe.
Maybe it's time for a few SR Ed formers to start the party and discuss/creat that format again?
Your onto something MCXavierL me thinks, thank you !
I'd contribute or submit content/pics when I could to an "editor" or whomever could quarterback the daily/weekly news.
There has to be a dozen or more formers that would be excellent.
It would be great to see this daily news portion of the site start up again, however that might transpire.
Admin, us, make it so. : )

Not sure if anyone follows Situate’s emails, but they do an awesome format of pre council and post council updates regarding development applications. They skim over the boring ones and then gives details to the unique or interesting ones. It’s a nice biweekly round up!

I wouldn’t hate a format like that where say, every month, a newsletter that highlights progress on some of the major projects and shared news of new proposals and such. Handful of pics and small blurbs.

That's actually super cool. Here's the link to subscribe if anyone else is interested.

Is it just me, or has this webpage been experiencing slowdowns for the past few days?

 

[archited]

Yes... I was about to call my service provider and give'em hell -- saved me a phone call @Gronk! Downloading Graphics is particularly bad (I blame the ninnified Nabobs of negativism for taking up way too much space).

I haven't had any issues until today where the site has been near unusable.

now, now… disagreeing with you doesn’t necessarily make people “ninnified Nabobs of negativism” (whatever that means).

maybe the faq page should include a dictionary of architedisms?

It's been bad in general I want to say off/on for the past week, but today is particularly egregious.

+1 @Edward Skira flagging for your awareness.

It's been over a week since these slowdowns popped up. This is becoming unacceptable.

As per the feedback thread on the general skyrise forum, the webmaster is aware and working on a fix.

I'm noticing that the Mercury Block thread doesn't show up in the Buildings subforum it's a part of nor does it show up in New Posts. Any idea why that is?

Shows up in both for me. Have you tried clearing your cache/cookies, etc? Does it happen in multiple browsers?

I did that and it does show up when I'm not signed in, on any browser, but the moment I sign in it disappears again. Weird.

Hm, are you watching that thread? Up at the top, you can click watch/unwatch. I'm not sure what else it would be.
