Daily Streaks Restored!
Posted by Owner-Quinn on 18 Sep 2021, 11:31 pm
Hello! Daily login streaks that were lost on September 13 (those that were at least at 3 at the time and have been maintained since then) have been manually restored.
If you notice your streak seems to be incorrect please comment here or file a report and I'll look at it case to case.
Thank you!

Downtime Complete!
Posted by Owner-Quinn on 18 Sep 2021, 1:22 pm
Hello!
We are back! We tested the Treasure Hunt festival and everything went well! We still need to make some finishing touches, and we tentatively intend to have the event start in the next week or two.
You should not notice anything new currently, so please do let me know if you notice any strange new bugs.
Finally, now that this is done, I can work on checking those daily streaks that were potentially lost during the database explosion. Basically this will entail me unpacking the backups from the night before it happened and cross-referencing the streaks with active players' current streaks.
This will likely take some time. I'll post a news post when that is done with instructions to let me know if you believe your streak wasn't correctly restored.
Thanks! Excited to get the Treasure Hunt started (and abit nervous nervous too!)

Scheduled downtime for September 18, 10 am
Posted by Owner-Quinn on 17 Sep 2021, 12:36 pm
Hello!
We will be going into a downtime tomorrow on Saturday, September 18, at 10 am Furvilla time.
This will be to upload and test code for the upcoming Oceandome Festival. This will take at least 2 hours, but has the potential to take several depending on how things go.
We still tentatively plan to hold the event at the end of the month. I realize this puts it pretty close to the Harvest Carnival's traditional time slot, but that's just the way the pine nut cookie crumbled!
Also, as mentioned in previous news post, fixing player login streaks from the database crash will need to be done AFTER this downtime, one at a time. So please bear with me and keep growing your streaks. This will not require a downtime, and I'll post a news post when that is done.
Thank you!
Site Outage - Streaks will be manually repaired

Dear friends,
Firstly I want to apologize for the downtime we had yesterday that seemingly wiped some of your progress from that day. Here’s a detailed explanation of what happened, to the best of my knowledge.
Sometime in the late afternoon yesterday, September 13, the server holding Furvilla’s databases went down. The server provider found that the physical driver had failed and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately it appears this means that they had to roll-back the data to the previous back-up, which would have been around 2 am September 13th.
This means there was about a 15 hour period of activity that was lost and rolled back to the status of how things were at 2 am.
Fortunately this means that any material or currency spent will have also returned to you. Any trades and purchases are as if they never occurred. Reagents you used to craft items should have rolled back. Unfortunately, I cannot give you back time and effort and can only offer my sincere apologies.
One scenario that may need special attention is if you lost your half of a transaction that was made independently with another individual. For example if you traded for an item with art or off-site currency, or were paid in FD for such, it may have rolled back. If such happened to you, please first try to work it out with the individual you made the transaction with so they can make good on their half of the deal. Failing that, feel free to file a report and we can attempt to mediate or compensate when appropriate. We may need proof such as dated screenshot that such transaction would have been agreed upon.
Finally, I understand that many players lost their daily streaks. This all depends on when you happened to log in last. Fortunately I should be able to fix all lost streaks. This would be a matter of me manually looking at the backup data and seeing what the streaks were of all active players before the database crashed, and adding that back.
Fixing the streaks will take several days for me to get to, so please keep on logging in and growing your streaks. Please do not file reports about lost streaks as I will be checking all players automatically. I will have to do this after an already-scheduled long downtime later this week.
Hope that addresses your biggest concerns. If I missed anything please go ahead and comment here. Thank you!
Oceandome Festival coming later this month!

Hey furriends!
Just a quick little post about the Oceandome Festival! My apologies for it being a little delayed this year. We are hard at work revamping it for the long term, and the coding aspect is quite a lot for a little scatter-brained squirrel such as myself. Tentatively we are planning to hold it in the latter half of the month of September, hopefully not later so it doesn't effect the Harvest Festival. There will need to be a downtime for testing. I will post a warning about that and the dates of the festival when they are decided.
Thank you all for your patience, and I hope you are enjoying the changing of the season!

User Stall Upgrades!
Posted by Owner-Quinn on 11 Jul 2021, 2:03 pm
Hello!
I'm pleased to announced some new features to stalls.
FurCash Renamed to FurCoins
Previously, Furvilla's most used currency was named FurCash. We felt this name wasn't consistent with its image representation, and was also redundant with FurDollars.
From this point on, FurCash will be officially referred to as FurCoins. The abbreviation for this currency will remain FC
.No Transfer Items and Stall Search
With this update, all "No Transfer" items have become un-priced.
• Items marked with a "No Transfer" tag cannot be sold, viewed in, or purchased from player stalls. Stall searches will now automatically filter out non-transferable items.
• Stall searches will now provide a link directly to the seller's stall.
• Stalls themselves will now only show stock that is priced and able to be purchased.
Stall Customizations
As a seller, you may now add some flavor to your stall with some optional customizations! This is all done from Manage Stall.
• Stall Name: You may give your stall a name! It is subject to a character limit and must subscribe to the same content rules as villager names.
• Stallkeeper: You may select any one of your villagers to be your stall's keeper. Their image will appear on your stall page as a stallkeep, much like official shops in the game.
• A special stall icon will appear under your stallkeeper villager's icon, seen on your user profile.
• As a bonus, the first time you set a stallkeeper, you will be able to redeem two special prizes, an outfit and a keepsake! They are non-transferable, and you may only claim them once per account.
These items provide all standard bonuses to all careers.
• Stallkeeper Text: You may type up a little blurb for your stall shop. It is subject to a character limit and must subscribe to the same content rules as user and villager profile descriptions.
Stock Management
There have been updates to the stock management on your Manage Stall page.
You may now customize the order of the items in your stall by designating a sorting priority. A smaller number will sort higher than a bigger number. The default is 9999. Your stall will sort items first by sorting priority, followed by when it was added.
Items will display a red warning symbol if there is any reason they will not appear in your stall. This can be if:
• The item is non-transferrable. It will be marked with a red ban symbol.
• There is no valid price set. An item must have both a currency and value chosen. If not, it will display a red exclamation point.
NOTE: pricing currency no longer defaults to FC. You MUST select your desired currency as well as the value.
If you don't set a valid currency, it will set the price to zero. The aim is to eliminate instances of accidental pricing of items to FC when FD was intended.
Anonymous Buying
It is now possible to make all your purchases anonymous to sellers. You may do this by selecting the "anonymous stall purchases enabled" checkbox under the community section in your user settings.
When this checkbox is toggled, all sellers will see your purchases as "anonymous" in their stall logs.
Okay, that's all! As always, please report any discovered bugs or issues to me via reports or the bug report forum.
