Making mDings and comments more fun :)

Dhingana Team. — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 04:36:03 +0000

Hi Guys,

Today we released a nice little feature which should make receiving mDings and comments more fun. Till now whenever you received an mDing, or a comment on your SmartLists, mGreetings or News posts, we use to send you an email informing the same. However, moving forward these emails will also include the complete mDing or comment you have received

So just by looking at the email you can see what mDing or comment you have received. You don’t need to come to Dhingana.com , just to check what mDing or comment you have received. Hope this saves you some time. Have fun!

Cheers,

Dhingana Team.

Dhingana can be slow :(

Update: 09/08/2008 Finally! Login, registration and all community features are now enabled. We have fixed all the issues now. We will closely monitor the site and lookout for any issues moving forward.

Original Blog entry:

Hi Guys,

We are experiencing massive loads on our application and db servers. As a result the performance on the site can be really slow at times. We are actively working, right now!, to better load balance this massive load. Rest assured, things should resolve to normal pretty soon.

We just wanted to let our users know that we are aware of the performance issues and are working on it as we write this post. In the meantime, to offload some of the load & make the performance a bit better, we have disabled some of the features like login, registration & tracking musical history for all users.

We will continue to work actively till this issue is resolved. Sorry for inconvenience caused.

Sincerely,
Dhingana Team.

Happy Raksha Bandhan
