The Gaming Den

weirdness abounds. Now there's a page 13 on this thread with no posts... *sigh* edit: so posting this resolves the error, simply by making page 13 actually exist. So... I don't want to spam this thread with enough posts to generate a new page (though I may do just that in the admin forum), but in th...

It looks like if you log out and then back in, the "most recent post" thing will clear itself up.

OK, I think we're fixed. There may be some intermittent cases when you press the "submit" button and it take for-fucking-ever, and then gives a "500 server error." If that happens, your post will still go through. I don't expect that situation to last too much longer, but wanted...

So my initial thought (corrupt table) seems to be the answer. I've found the name of the table and how to fix it. Assuming I can remember the password for the server, I can get this fixed... To add to the fun and games, it's a table we don't actually use - it indexes every post to allow the board se...

hmmm... interesting (investigating)

I don't moderate here unless I have to. Frankly, I'm just tied of all the fucking emails I'm getting today.

I'll leave it fbmf to comment about the douchebaggery on bath sides of this pissing match.

Do NOT post that wall of images again, please. Or any other similar bullshit.

I was going to delete the thread. But I like Lago's comment, so instead I'll just lock it.

When someone comes to me at my job and asks if something is possible to do, my standard (smartass) reply is something along the lines of, "anything is possible with enough time and money." That answer would seem to hold true here as well. Purely from a "get the data" perspective,...

Deleted a spam post and a reply to the spam post. Please just report the bastards, rather than replying.

[voice of tech support] This was reported as spam (thank you), but I'm going to leave it for now. It's in the right location and we've allowed Alpha to advertise his site here in the past. However... going forward, I'd prefer to see material kept to one thread. So, for example, when you release v3.1...

Wow! Lots of fun errors from the server side lately... I'll get them added to my ever-growing research list.

Thanks!

Generally speaking, I will get to this pieces of shit faster if you report the post, rather than posting here. (I can't speak for fbmf's preference, but I suspect it's the same.)

edit: also, I merged the two similar spambot threads together.

They don't care how many users we have. They care that we're a stable, long-standing site. That helps them get a higher rating in Google's index.

Thanks, Robby.

There are 2 posts from the 19th and 12 made today. Are you not seeing those posts?

If so, do you have people on your ignore list?

That may be the bizarrest error message I've seen in quite some time. I don't think I've ever seen an error message talk to itself...

Do you recall what you were doing when you got the message?

Server errors caused the outage. I couldn't even log into the back end to check if it was something on the database.

I had soccer practice, and was keeping my fingers mentally crossed that things would be resolved by the time I got home...

Quad post cleaned up.

We had a server outage, which caused the downtime.

We are on bluehost. BbBoard was the host two or three hosts ago. They sucked ass and a barrel of cocks.

Has anybody seen this error since the 5th? After a quick lookup, the error makes complete sense. Except I would expect to see it every time.

Well, so much for it being fixed... I just got the message. At some point this week I'll try adding the code to a page that gets loaded more often, like the Forum or Thread page, rather than just the index.

Thank you for the screen shot. I'll look into it and see if I can find out what the cause is. I'm seeing a fair bit of slowness today as well.

Spam removed. Thanks for the report.
