Infinite Feedback Loop!

[cottoncandypink]

You may have noticed some weirdness from Milliways lately. Not the normal weirdness, but weirdness that prevents you from getting to the game. Near as anyone can make out, the maintenence on Thursday affected the way DW is loading the stylesheets that make Milliways look pretty, and something gets caught in an infinite feedback loop. Sometimes. Not even always, which is just weird. Which really is just a Milliways sort of problem, isn't it?

But there's a way around that. Just don't use Milliways' stylesheet for a while. Load the comm in your own style, and things should work out fine.

I've also included a link for the Back Room, just in case anyone's having issues here, as well. You won't get all of information that's normally on the sidebar, because that information is unique to Milliways' stylesheet, being that it's all hard-coded in and stuff. You'll get your sidebar, which may or may not be useful. But you can read the comm, at least.


Another way to know when someone posts is to put the comm/s on email tracking. You won't get every single comment ever, because that would be absurd. But you will get a handy email every time someone makes a new post. You can do this with a free account, so don't worry about paid time or anything like that.

Anybody else getting timeouts? I mean, even just trying to load a thread to read it? It took me like 10 minutes trying to log on and post this question.

I've been getting a lot of time outs in trying for comment or actual posts.

And I think email motifs are delayed again.

(Got another timeout just now trying to reply. Oh, DW.)

[bjornwilde]

And email reply seems either really slow or not functioning.

Oh well. I need to head to bed anyway...more moving tomorrow.

[bjornwilde]

Let's see if email replies are working.

I'm for bed anyway, more moving tomorrow. Maybe the site will be behaving tomorrow night.

I'm not having this issue at all.
Weird...

It's been coming and going ever since DW went down on Thursday.
