yea...sorry about that. I broke the forums.

I was playing in the nef thread. We found a bug where using quick reply caused the post to hang, then double post. I wondered what would happen if you kept clicking "post reply" while it was hanging. Would it post 4,000 of the same posts? Would it only double post? Would it only post one?

Turns out that crashes the DB server. So yea...don't do that.

 

[olds]

I got db errors trying to rely

Looks like the hamster crew took the day off to smoke weed and partay!

 

[sdifox]

Call in Hair Force One?

quick reply in the nef thread is dodgy at best.

 

[rudeguy]

yea...just don't mash the "post quick reply" button repeatedly while waiting for a thread to post. Bad things happen

 

[Gillbot]

He must be suffering a heart attack now, slow but not unbearable yet.

 

[sixone]

not again

 

[Red Squirrel]

Seems ok for me, I've seen much slower. Often I have to click stuff several times before something happens, such as a forum or post to load. Right now it seems ok.

 

[Gillbot]

It was bad yesterday for me, today seems much better. Guess they gave him CPR or let him out of Olds' basement for a few minutes.

 

[olds]

ahem...

 

[Jeff7]

ahem...

The Hamster's gone home for Christmas. He at least deserves some time off.

 

[techofalltrades]

ahem...

don't worry.. they'll schedule maintenance next saturday and fix it.

not like there was maintenance last night or anything

 

[Bubbleawsome]

Had maintenance, then that crash, and now it is still meh. In my hotel room.

Have 10-45-4 at my house, slow there too.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

EDIT: Yep, double post. Like a 20 second hang.

 

[dawp]

is this the hamster?

 

[olds]

Out of pellets?

 

[corwin]

Out of pellets?

Wrong kind of pellets...getting like 6-7 emails from thread subscriptions for every post

 

[videogames101]
