Article/Forum system update

Tuesday, July 26, 2005 by T-Man | Discussion: Developer Journals

In an effort to fix some of the database issues we have been experiencing we have just updated our systems in the way the forums and article posts are handled in the database.  Everything works the same way from your perspective but the way we are storing and fetching the data has been changed.  Because of the change it is possible there may be a few problems that occur.  So if you have any problems with article/forum posts please let us know here.

The count thingy for posts seems to be stuck (maybe just slow) -looked here a second ago, went and checked my last post from 10:09 - post is there, count on main page is not - came back here - count for here on main showing 0 comments - still showing 0 comments on this page but there are 4 above me as I type

T-Man,

Just out of curiosity, are we supposed to see all comments that are posted both here and via SD forums reflected in the counts here at WC?

I have seen a number of instances where comment counts are either incorrect, or where some comments posted on the SD forum (at least I assume that is the origination of the comment) are not displayed here.

Is this a matter of a non-subscriber posting a comment?

Thanks for any clarification.

The little envelops are still not working correctly. They still say there are new responses to a thread when in fact there are none. Or they say I've already read a thread when in fact I have not. Come to think about it this has been a problem for me ever since this site went online. Maybe it's just me who is having these problems.

PurrBall is testing if this command is working yet
Hmmm... The titlebar has no mention of Vista and also it shows the post number when viewing a post.

forum section seems to be slower than the rest of the site. Getting error messeges and timeouts. Personal Pages are going slow as well ....

I don't know if you want to know about this here, but for 30 minutes this morning all I got when trying to get to the site was "Invalid Host Name" Then when I finally got to the site, it took 20 minutes for it to download, but was incomplete when it finally did.

I got the same as clwoods (in Firefox)
In IE, it was 400 bad request.

Additionally, my WC site was returning a 'connection refused'
