I thought the problem was fixed at first. I had no trouble at all posting earlier today, but a few minutes ago it started bothering me again. I think we're having the same problem here agian, Purplehawk.

Yep, it seems the issues are back (it at least took me ages to post these bits). Waiting for the tech admins to rescue us again...

[Morgoth]

Yeah, same thing for me. I've owled the techies again for help.

I have a glass and stainless desk, so someone else will have to knock on wood for me, but... things are going nicely now.

*knocks on wood for you * It's going better for me as well, hopefully the errors won't show up again.

[GinnyIsGenius]

That's the problem though, they come and go
Lets think positive!

Thanks techies!

Same here. I spent over an hour, on and off, and I don't know which of my posts got through and which didn't, because all I get is a blank page with a little moving circle saying "loading" and going on and on forever... This is like a bottle thrown out on the sea, hoping to reach shore... In the meanwhile, I give up...

[Fleur du mal]

Same here

[purplehawk]

I'm still good to go.

What the heck is going on?

No idea -- when this started happening on my end yesterday, it was around 3pm, and when it happened today it was around 4pm... rather weird.

Hopefully it'll be fixed soon enough.

Thank gosh, I haven't run into as many errors as I was yesterday though -- it was driving me nuts .

Purplehawk, FluerduJardin/mal, and Fawkesfan- my problem's finally stopped. I'm hoping your's have too? I'm having no trouble posting now. Admins- If you fixed it, good job!

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this- A couple days ago, the total post amount was about 999,900. The next time I came on, it was down to about 998,000. This doesn't really matter, it's just funny that post counts can't go over a million.

Does particle board work? Uhm, I don't have any problems. But, I've only just popped back in since much earlier today.

TTFN

[Tiberius]

Seems to be working well for me now.

*Thanks techies and provides an offering of milk and cookies.*

Posts routinely get erased. They are usually old posts. They may have done that in an attempt to fix some of the recent problems, although that is just a guess.

Yes, I seem to be OK now, thanks, Deathly. At least my two last posts went through without my having to try several times then give up out of frustration. For me the problem happened yesterday late morning-early afternoon - I was busy and I gave up pretty quickly. Today, it started OK then I ran into the same problem again.

I don't know whether this problem is related, but in the "Novella" forum, where post count is off and you are the only one who can respond to yourself - which means that the double-post rule doesn't apply, you're allowed to post right after yourself, since no one else but an admin can - I got my posts "merged" like in the "regular" forums. Very strange (and frustrating!)

Oh that's very interesting, Deathly, about the total post amount. Do you think that is what caused the problem? Like all those we expected for Y2K but never happened? Are we going to run into the same problem when we get up near 1 million again?

Anyway - for the time being things seem to be back to normal - Thanks, techies!!

[Colonel_Fubster]

Thank you techies! I give you chocolate in gratitude!

[Voldemorts8thHorcrux]

i think the problem has gone away for me too. Thanks techies!

[Fawkesfan1]

Yea, thanks again techies *hands you all a giant cookie *!

[DeathlyH]

Yay! We can post with no problems! Let us now hope that thisproblem is defeated, and shall never arise again! Hooray, techies! For this heroic deed, I give you a lifetime's supply of fresh baked cookies! *sniffs the aroma in* Oh, those are too good, I'll have to eat some myself.

Yep, the technical wizards of CoS did a few adjustments. I heard Ali banging the server with a hammer screaming "WORK DAMNIT!! WORK!!!" Kizz was within seconds of pulling his 9mm Sig-Sauer out of his workbag and pumping the server full of lead, when it suddenly started working.

You see people. Intimidation. It's like Al Capone said: "You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone."
