Another possible interesting technical glitch

Rai · 02-15-2008, 01:20 PM

Maybe its connected to the white screens (they seem to have lost their effect at least for me, they still appear sometimes after posting but the post is not killed), maybe not, but I have seen on two occasion that when I post a message, my name does not appear as the most recent poster on the overview screen.

This is what I mean:

I posted roughly an hour after Hendrik did and there's no sign of it

Anybody else with similar issues?

I was literally about to post a thread about this. To use your example of the politics thread, supposedly the most recent post is Hendrik's at 1:58pm (my time) but when I click on the thread, Rai's post at 11:43am is the last one to show up. There are other examples too. Strange.

Also, the site's been pretty slow for me lately and I often have to refresh to get to a thread I clicked on, having been presented with a blank white page.

Yes, blank screens are still a problem ... i've been loosing my posts and pm's a lot lately

yeah em, tell our hosts to be more.. host-y! it's really slow and glitchy..

makes it pretty difficult to post. the lack of new comment thing seems to happen when you get the white page after you post. i hit refresh it says i posted a duplicate less than 5 minutes ago, i check the main page it's not there, have to go double check the thread, and even though my name's not listed in the forum view it is there

i've also been losing PM's and i'm afraid people will think i'm blowing them off, but in actuality the messages just aren't getting through..

edit: it just did it again

i hated to wait 2 days before i saw any changes on one thread.. i posted and i thought ok it's just a lil slow.. few hours alter still not there.. i come back to the same thread again the next day, and there's replies there, but i see no changes... 2 days later i come back to a full 2nd page of replies.. heh somethings fishy is gong on.
