The forum maintenance thread (twitter- @stage48)

I've been suffering amazingly fast logoffs of lately (perhaps a couple of minutes and I have to logon again), is it just me?

 

The gray one fit better with the checkered background but I guess baby blue isn't that bad. [clap]

 

I'm on it! Give me a day or two, I'm one busy mess right now.

 

Ahhh, I was wondering why my posts looked odd again with the way it was handling the attachments. Hopefully things get sorted out.

 

I guess there is one 'new member' who should be banned...

I got a lot of '500 internal errors' today...is it only me? [think]

 

I have been getting them a lot the last couple of days too. Thought it might be my side, but I guess not.

 

nope I've seen this a couple of times over the last few days

Spoiler

oops! There was one of those nasty ol' 500 internal errors. Try reloading the site, it should be fine.
(And if you were making a post, please don't hit "back" to try again- that'll just cause a double post!)

 

That's MrWaffle's message. I got it more than half a dozen times only today (and every time it took me a lot of time to log in again... )

 

A few things have been off recently.
I generally use the "View unread posts" option, but there's been instances in the last few days where threads would appear again and again (or simply not disappear) even though I'd most definitely already checked that newest posts.

Up till now I never really had to log in every time I visited the page since I've got the "keep me logged in" box checked. During the last two three days though I found myself logged out quite often.

The above doesn't bother me really and it's not like that all the time either. Just seems to me like there's something's wrong with the system. Those 500 internal errors are occurring every now and then as well.

 

I had problems today, too. It took me more than half an hour and a lot of attempts to log in...

 

Strange. If you check Page 7 of my thread for Request Hour, there's a post by me at the bottom. It appears on top of Page 8 as well. It's the same post though ("p521963"). I thought it was a duplicate so I reported it, but actually just leave it there.

I've had another problem in that thread yesterday. While regularly updating the post with the songs performed at the event, I'd always get taken back to the previous page. So I'd edit a post on page 12, submit it, get the "This message has been edited successfully. View your submitted message" thing, but even though it would properly edit the post I'd get redirected to page 11 for some reason.

No idea if it's something to do with the forum or if my browser's simply acting weird.

 

I think it has something to do with the forum.

I remember one time someone had a post that appeared on both the end of one page and the start of the next. I deleted the second post, but then the first one got deleted as well. I had to explain to the person via PM what happened, and then asked 'em to resubmit what they posted.
