h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now up to minus 24 damn... does that mean I'm bust?

Well, the thing is, it's *either* a timewarp, or an unexpected bug - of a type that's affected the site before, but which has been caused by a new feature in the upgrade. There's an explanation here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/F48000?thread=2270503 Still, according to my , it's 1966, so I'm going for the former...

How can the server be too busy when it doesn't look as if anyone has posted anything for at least an hour?

So it is going to take days to sort out? Think the backlog is going to be a killer when I finally find out what it is...

Bloody typical, this happens everytime the server gets repaired, "Unknown hiker", "the following error is an unknown error" and your favourite and mine "Server Too Busy" I've had them all today

Oh and -15 postings on this thread

Apparently nobody has posted on my journal space EYE thread since October last year....

I have been talking to myself for a long time. Somebody get the men in white coats please.

zdt

Well, this is fun.

*twiddles thumbs*

At least we don't seem to have lost any postings yet, as we did that one time...

Wa-hey! And now I suddenly get 66 *new* posts on this!

I'm still -4

looks at h2g2 editors post.

some one of h2g2 editors needs a lesson in posting F threads
F48000?thread=2270503

it looks so much nicer, sophisticated and showing us to be good example!

Oh no not again.

Does anyone else get that you click on say, the My space link, and it doesn't always work? Or that it does, but not straight away and without giving any indication that it's loading? I'm on broadband, so it's weird.

yes and in opera too.

Are we up ??????????

Oh well I gotta go back to work.

the new postings thing isn't working even tho I have new postings on the conversations

It's a bug. Jim Lynn has explained elsewhere that they made a change, introducing a slight delay between postings appearing and them showing up on the conversation lists. This speeds up all postings. Unfortunately, the "slight delay" turns out to be more than an hour, so it's not going to work. He's looking into it for possible solutions.

The queue appears to have speeded up dramatically. I'm now seeing things appear within three or four minutes.

I guess that's what we get when 606 closes for the day.

Is that what it is? It's just made a dramatic difference

Wish someone would kick 606 into touch --->] GOAL!!

606 accounts for half the posts made across the whole of DNA. Remove that traffic and things like this queue work quite speedily, it would seem.

So what's going to happen to 606, are they going to get their own server to stop this happening
