"General Discussions" sorting strangely?
Justshirley | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 10:38 am     Ususally, they are sorted by most recent at the top. Right now, there seems no pattern. Posts from 8/25 mixed in with ones from 8/24, 8/23. And there are a bunch of posts that have no date and contain 0 messages. Their subject lines are 7-digit numbers beginning with 104 (i.e., 1047691, 1044147). And a couple of topics I had read this morning no longer appear at all. Anyone else? Any tips on how to fix? Thanks in advance. |
Draheid | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 10:58 am     Justshirley: The moderators and administrators are working to correct some problems on the board. This has been ongoing for a while now. Once all the maintenance and repairs have been completed (soon, I hope) things should be back to normal. |
Justshirley | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:45 am     Good to know, Draheid. I had some problems with my cable modem connection this morning, had to resort to dial-up for a couple of hours. Futzed around with some of my settings trying to fix the problem, and thought perhaps that why I was having trouble. Good to have confirmation that it's not just me. Thanks for the info. |
Moderator | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 12:20 pm     FYI, Some mishaps last night caused some problems with a few threads. Admin had to restore some things from backup, thus there was a period of time when the board was in maintenance mode and inaccessible. Thanks for your patience. (c) |
Ryn | Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 06:26 am     Sometimes when we re-index the board - old threads retuern from the grave and when they do they are mixed in randomly. There is no function to automatically re-sort by date, we would have to manually re-do the order ourselves. SO when that happens we sometimes just let the threads re-order themselves because the second someone posts to one it moves to the top. As I recall - I was the one responsible for the mess on Sunday (around 10:30 am) - if you had looked closely you would have found that the posts were in order until you got near the bottom, then they were scrambled, all thos scrambled threads were actually old ones and were archived about 10 minutes after they re-appeared. So you were one of the few people to even see them before they went to the archives. |
