Dunno if it's everybody or just me, but I'm having trouble posting stuff today. Keep getting a "page not found" error, and losing my whole post.

I strongly recommend that you copy your post before submitting it.

If it does give an error, then return to the sub-forum index, and re-enter the thread. Then just paste your post in again, and try submit. It seems to work if you've left and returned to the thread. (But not if you just refresh.)

(Edit: Seems that it also works if you refresh, then click to a different page in the thread and paste your reply into the quick reply box on the other page.)

Yes. I've had that hair-tearing experience often enough to agree with you.

The problem is, even though I remind myself to do it when I start a post, I forget by the time I finish...I usually remember just as it disappears. :lol:

Anyway, seems to be fine today...and I suspect it was only me. Must be my damn connection...it often has spasms.

Believe me, Av, it's not just you.

I have a wild hunch: all these recent glitches are a sign of the beginning of the end of KW, just as the Last Chronicles signal the, uh, end of everything about TC as we know it. You see, KW the message board is heading inexorably on a course parallel with SRD's story, so that whatever fate he has in store for the Land will also befall KW, since we are now inextricably linked as his "official" discussion forum. I see only two ways to avoid the almost certain doom we're headed towards:

1) sever KW's link to SRD's site, especially before Fatal Revenant comes out and rocks KW with further instability
OR
2)kidnap SRD and compel him to write an alternate ending for the Last Chrons in which High Lords Jay, Alynna and a reconstituted Vain help to defeat Lord Foul at last, thereby ensuring the continued existence of KW.

Of course, I could be wrong about the whole thing...

I just meant I don't think it's happening to everyone on every second post, like it was for me yesterday. :D

Nice theory though...

...RUN!

No, that's expected. That's part of the "Anti-Avatar" mod that I added to the Watch's code.

:P

Seriously, though, I donno what the problem is. I've PMed Vain to see if he had any ideas.

My best guess is that it's because of the sheer size of the Watch. I'm thinking that we may have to start pruning some posts (AKA Mallory's). But I'm really not sure if that would help at all. I'm going to wait to hear from Vain first.

He's said in the past that size was not a problem, but I'm starting to wonder. With this new board version...

Anyway, that particular glitch seems to have just been me, it's fine now. (For now anyway. ;) ) The internal server errors though...they're still going strong, although not too frequent thankfully.

This is odd. I can log in at work, but I can't log in at home....I keep getting an error. Oddly, when I connect to work from home I can log in.

its intermittent Cail. and it's international...Av, Elfgirl, others outside the states are experiencing the same.

i first noticed it night before last (sunday nite at home). i couldn't get on at all. sql errors.

then, later...maybe a half hour or so, i got on.
then, still later (i had a bit of insomnia) around 2:30 am, i couldn't again.

monday morning at work, no problem. but on my home machine monday evening, no dice.
i was convinced it was our computer except that i talked to another member and he was on the Watch.

Ger (my husband) says he thinks it has to do with the server and the "trunks" that some Watchers in some parts of the country (world) can get on and some can't. he actually babbled out quite a bit of info on this but "trunks" and severs was all i actually understood. heh.

anyway...i'm on now, at work, but only just got on.

danlo called last night. he couldn't get on, creator was playing scrabble with me and he couldn't get on, but i was on for a while till my machine decided to have a memory dump and i had to reboot. when i rebooted, i couldn't get on again. but Esmer was on the whole time, and i spoke with Lord Foul too and he didn't seem to be having a problem. so...

what all this means i've no idea.
i emailed jay, danlo was emailing Vain, and creator said he'd also email them both.

that is all.

Everyone quit your bitching!
Sometimes a website go down for a little while....
Or one server that the messageboard relies on goes down for a while....
Or maybe one of the network admins accidentally kills the power to the router that the server is connected to right before he leaves for lunch....
Not that I've ever done that.
But I've read about stuff like that.
Yeah, I read about it once.....

It's actually the first step of the new "Pay to post" policy introductory campaign. Have you bought a Kevinswatch-subscription for each of your computers? Jay and Vain aren't Bill Gates, they won't let you just buy one copy and distribute it to all your and your family's and friends' computers. Be a good user, cough up the dough.

At least some of you got through to complain. No watch at all for me for 48 hours. That's a long time to ponder if there is intelligent life out there. In the, you know, internet.
