Timewarps

[Ruptga]

Timewarps are back, sorta. It seems only a few have been blessed with the gift, this time.

If only I could leverage this talent into something productive. :\

There was a major disturbance in the force that seems to have been caused by a new topic being removed. If you didn't see that particular new topic...well...let's just say it was obviously going to be deleted asap.

You could taunt those unfortunate enough to have not been blessed by the gods, thereby increasing your social standing and self-esteem. That's what I'd do anyway.

More likely they forgot to water one of the hamsters that keeps this place running.

I wanna timewarp too.

A third server was brought on line to try and combat the load slowness issues quite a few other posters were experiencing. It likely wasn't chronologically synched at first. It's not nice to eff with Father Time.

mmmkay

 

[Ruptga]

Is that from a mod PM? I'm not seeing a sticky. I'm also not seeing very good load times, but my ISP is pretty terrible so that might just be it. I did notice one poster that had been warping and now isn't.

This is very annoying. My post should be at the bottom.

I was wondering. Posted in another thread and on tapatalk it showed the previous post as the most recent. I was confused

 

[BoomerD]

They're saying they brought a 3rd server on line...and it's not sync'd up properly. Look at the bottom of the page to see the "server time." For me, it's off by 6 hours.

Last night every post I made told me I couldn't post more than once every 15 seconds, please wait 20740seconds before posting......

Wow I knocked this one back to last midnight!

Behold my Powers and Despair for I am the Destroyer of Threads!


Ok let's see where this one ends up.

Edit. BAH back to the top

it's definitely gravitational waves.

As a computer person: The problem is server time syncing. They're probably using getdate() when inserting a new post in SQL, which uses the local server time. The new SQL server's time is off by seconds/minutes, but only ~1/3rd of new posts go directly to it. This means that you have a 1 in 3 chance of having the timestamp on your post being incorrect. Weirdly enough, VBulletin must render the posts in a thread strictly by time and not ALWAYS render the original post first.

God damnit science! This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[Ruptga]

So did they fix it yet?

 

[John Connor]

Appears so....

 

[Kadarin]

Someday maybe the forum admins will decide to use NTP. Someday.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Only AT forums manages to pull off all this weird stuff.

It's just a jump to the left...

Let's do the time warp again...
