housekeeping update by Alison Green on April 28, 2025 The work on the site is (hopefully) complete, and comments are turned back on. Thanks for your patience the last few days as we ran into some bumps with a server migration. { 29 comments }
JK_jk* April 28, 2025 at 8:03 pm There seems to be a bug in mobile still. The layout is weird across browsers (Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on iOS), with the menu stacked vertically and right-aligned. I have to scroll past all that to get to content. Reply ↓
Ask a Manager* Post authorApril 28, 2025 at 8:30 pm I see it too, will get it fixed tomorrow! Reply ↓
glt on wry* April 28, 2025 at 8:21 pm Thanks for the update! Hope getting it to behave wasn’t too frazzling for you:) Reply ↓
Mirve* April 28, 2025 at 8:21 pm I too was wondering if the vertical, right aligned menu and the permanently present search magnifying glass were planned that way Reply ↓
Ask a Manager* Post authorApril 28, 2025 at 8:32 pm Nope, needs to be fixed! I’m also seeing that you can’t reply to comments, only post top-level ones, so that will go on the list to fix too. (I can do it because I’m logged in but I don’t think anyone else can.) Reply ↓
Old Lady at Large* April 28, 2025 at 8:27 pm That explains why the website kept asking me if I was human before it would let me in. I like the new look. Reply ↓
ClariceStarling* April 28, 2025 at 8:45 pm The new “sagas” topic isn’t working. It says “sorry, that page does not exist.” Reply ↓

Mirve* April 28, 2025 at 9:04 pm Re the collapse thread button being gone (pixel 8a chrome), might it be related to not being allowed to reply? Reply ↓
JTrz* April 28, 2025 at 9:07 pm I am using google chrome and the collapse all button is missing …. please help! I checked and there is the same issue on Edge as well! Reply ↓
Tiger Snake* April 28, 2025 at 9:08 pm *ahem* Now the layout’s changed and I don’t like it. Not for any good reason, but because I wasn’t personally consulted as a stakeholder and I am going to make my bruised ego everyone else’s problem to manage. Did I do it right? Reply ↓
old curmudgeon* April 28, 2025 at 9:22 pm I’m sorry you’ve had a rough time with this migration, Alison – thank you for all that you do to make your content as accessible as possible to as many people as possible! Now, please go do something nice for yourself – you deserve it! Reply ↓
Doctor Scorpio* April 28, 2025 at 9:37 pm Eloise is 20 years old (!) and was living in a shelter cage, but now she has a house of her own. She’s also… no longer existent??? https://www.askamanager.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Eloise-scaled.jpeg (Page does not exist) Reply ↓
Ask a Manager* Post authorApril 28, 2025 at 9:40 pm Ha, a bunch of images didn’t migrate correctly. I think I’ve got them all fixed now, including that one! Reply ↓
Name (Required)* April 28, 2025 at 9:37 pm What happened to the ability to open and close the different threads amongst the comments? Reply ↓
Doctor Scorpio* April 28, 2025 at 9:41 pm The ability to comment also seems to have a problem…. Reply ↓
Doctor Scorpio* April 28, 2025 at 9:54 pm https://www.askamanager.org/2025/04/housekeeping-update.html#comment-5089735 This did not show up immediately….? Reply ↓
Ask a Manager* Post authorApril 28, 2025 at 10:02 pm Oh, that’s just because it had a link in it. Comments with links always go through moderation first (as an anti-spam measure). Reply ↓
HannahS* April 28, 2025 at 10:02 pm Hi Alison, on my browser, the “reply” function isn’t working, even though I can post comments as usual. For context I use a browser called Ecosia, but I checked on Chrome and it doesn’t work there, either. Best of luck on what I’m sure is/was a huge undertaking. Reply ↓
Silvercat* April 28, 2025 at 10:16 pm Site changes never go smoothly, do they? I like the new header! Reply ↓
