SERVER NEWS: Pavlovia back online, data merged, all systems operational

Over 5000 projects needed merging in the last few days! Do check that your data look as expected. There are a few particular cases that we will discuss with you individually, where it wasn’t clear how to carry out the merge.

Critically, if the merge hasn’t worked as expected then don’t panic - copies of all data from have been kept in their pre-merge state as well so we can ultimately recreate whatever you need, or help you to do it yourself. But we actually think the vast majority of projects have their data fully merged with no problems.

Do check your experiments carefully to make sure they still run as expected.

If you run in to things that don’t seem right, the first thing to try is to refresh your browser cache. Sometimes that stores old copies of a page for you which is confusing if the old copy doesn’t show you the merged data. (You could also try loading in not-your-normal-browser to check this).

Hope it’s all working for you now and sorry once again for the inconvenience. We don’t anticipate any further service disruptions in the foreseeable future.

good luck with your continued studies
Jon
