Topic: SQL Changeover (Post Bugs Here)

Tonight I'm going to be switching the main board over to the new SQL back end for all the threads.

I'm currently running a final test import of all the thread data, once that's done and I've looked it over and it looks good, I'll be taking the main boards down to do the final data import. After the import is done, the boards will come back up with the new back end system.

This means that the boards will go down for about half an hour at approximately 10:00 PM PST.

No posts will be lost in the switchover, unless something seriously malfunctions with the new code, in which case any posts made after the switchover will be lost if I have to fall back to the current code.

And the odds of a serious malfunction..

I'd say around 20%. Which would then require an emergency twelve hour patch, which "accidently" bans everyone and formats the boards.

Oh, wait, that was SND.

Good luck, Drys.

Yes, good luck. And thanks for trying to make the boards better for us.

i haev NOTICED SOME BUGS?!!?

BUG 1:
Sometimes, when I edit my posts, the post just won't edit, it'll stay the same as always. (I.E: If I have "Blah blah blah" and then try and change it to "Yada yada yada," I'll still see "Blah blah blah.")

BUG 2:
Some of the normal threads got past this thread, even though it's stickied.

On the pirate thread, it dumped me back at the begining of the thread after posting. Normally, it dumps you at the post you just made.

I don't know yet if this is only on multi-page posts or not.

when replying to a multi-page thread, it no longer takes you to the last post of the last page, but to the last post of the FIRST page.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I expected it to do nothing. I hit it without thinking, and then had to figure out what had happened. I don't know if it used to do that or not.

I guess it makes sense, now that I'm thinking about it. It just caught me by suprise at the time.

It seems that even though, according to the boards, I posted a reply 4 minutes ago, it is already 10 minutes old and cannot be edited.

I'm not sure if this has always been a bug....

The "View Recent Posts" search feature is not functioning: http://forums.evercrest.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=recent_user_posts&u=00000036

The most recent post is the SQL changeover post, and I know i've posted since then. Same for yours, Drysart.

I use this feature a lot, to see where people have posted, since I don't have time to read through every thread.

when i am reading a thread and hit the back button it takes me back to the forum but the posts are messed up: totaly different from when i clicked on the thread, its has older posts: 10, 20 mins old

and its not because i havent refreshed the page

Err, I got a PM and it gave me an error saying it wasn't found (perhaps recently deleted).

I only know what the PM was because I received it in perfect condition via email.

As a glutton for punishment, I decided to try this out for myself. It took me 12 tries before the log-in stuck, with varying degrees of success along the way. (It would kick me back to the login screen some times, others it would say I couldn't log in, others it would say I logged in successfully but wouldn't let me see the forums, etc.) I finally figured it out, sort of. When I log in as my login name (my original screen name), it says I'm logged in, but I'm really not. When I log in as my displayed name (Ford Prefect), it says it has no registered user by that name, then logs me in, but bumps me back to the login screen because it thinks I haven't logged in.

I don't know if this is the problem for Lyinar or just me, but it may help trace the source of the login difficulties.

I made a slight update to the login code, which I'm hoping will get rid of the "you have to log in a bazillion times" problem. If not, let me know.
