ans 1,599 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We've obviously been having issues over the last day. Some unexplained table locks resulted in a few server restarts last night and this morning. We've also been having database connection issues intermittently. Completed some cleanup and repair of the tables and things look livelier now so fingers crossed it's all resolved. We'll try and keep an eye on it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
woolley 19,198 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Also some strange glitches like the "reply not added because posted too quickly" lockout kicking in for no apparent reason. Link to post Share on other sites
ans 1,599 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Yeah that will be because of the time syncs. Funny side effect, if you look at the online list at the bottom there are people online from the future 2 Link to post Share on other sites
woolley 19,198 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Yes. I think a lot of us here are from the future. Link to post Share on other sites

Terminal 886 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) It's lightning fast now. Maybe that's because I'm the one here at the moment Edited September 24, 2015 by Terminal Link to post Share on other sites
Kopek 2,097 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 MF seemed to be off air earlier today. WAS THIS FOR TECHNICAL OR LEGAL REASONS??? An Amadeus thread about a corrupted product disappeared on the re-appearance of MF. If and that's a big IF, this was for legal reasons, should this be explained to us? If the police ask for a shut down to remove something, should a thread be put up to explain this? I noticed this was explained? in a thread last week. Maybe I'm looking too deeply into an innocent technical hitch! Link to post Share on other sites
ans 1,599 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 We've had technical issues for the last two days so any conspiracy is all in your mind. Sometimes we disclose a legal request, mostly to stop people repeat posting something, but sometimes we don't. That's our discretion and we have no obligation. If anything disappeared, it's a consequence of the database rollbacks and actions that were taken. Link to post Share on other sites
Declan 7,224 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Censorship is a cool theory but it was my fault... What happened with Amadeus's thread was, when the forum came back, the thread was there but there were no posts in it not even an opening one. Maybe the forum broke halfway through him uploading. I replied "?" This made me the first poster. And made it look as if I had started the thread. Since the forum now thought I was topic starter it gave me the power as a subscriber to delete the thread. I didn't want a load of questions asking why I'd started that thread with no content. So I deleted it, thinking that Amadeus could always post a new thread when he was next on. Edited September 25, 2015 by Declan 1 Link to post Share on other sites
