New threads aren't being bumped to the top and if you look at the WTF of Your Day thread, new comments are appearing at the TOP of the page. Wat.

    I can't be the only one who is seeing this.
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    Yep, I've noticed it too, in the Pokemon thread.
  • ChurbaChurba
    Yeah, I think we can say this isn't an isolated problem, I'm getting it consistently.

    Oh no, we borked it.

    Yep, that didn't bump this thread back up.

    Well, I guess that proves Scott is actually doing something with the website ^_~

    Shit is fucked up.

    Hey, it's moved a little bit farther up the page.
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    Yeah, this seems to be fixing itself. I think there must be a bug in the forum's calculation of the time difference between the time now and the last post, and since the current time is changing it's disappearing on its own.

    Wait, no. Things are still not quite right - the posts that were towards the bottom with times logged like 23 hours ago have now shifted to times like 20 minutes ago.

    It seems to me that a number of posts have shifted themselves an entire day ahead of where they ought to have been, which has caused a lot of weirdness.

    I'm guessing the forum software actually saw these posts as coming from the future, but listed the times as "23 hours ago" because that's how the algorithm for calculating the time since a post handled them. These posts from the future would have, for obvious reasons, been considered the newest posts in their respective threads, and their threads would have been considered the most newly updated in the forums.

    I reported this problem earlier in the WTF thread. Something is definitely off.

    The time on the server was wrong. Not a big deal. Should be consistent from now on.

    NTP?

    No, NTP is fine. The hardware clock is UTC, as it should be. However, I changed the time zone from UTC to EDT. System time is the same, but local time changed. Most applications are smart enough to behave properly. Apparently Vanilla/PHP/MySQL doesn't handle the time zone properly, so it thought the server traveled back in time.

    Cite a specific example? It could be just you.

    Happens to me about 20% of the time. Random avatars just don't load.

    What Rym said.
  • AprecheApreche
    It's never happened to me. When it does happen, view source and find the URL of the missing avatar. If the url isn't there, that's problem X. If it's there, try it, and problem Y will be revealed.

    Roger doger, I'll keep you posted.

    I have yet to see one instance of an avatar that's failed to load, and I've been on here fairly often as of late.

    I've seen the problem happen. For a while it was about the 20% thus claimed. Then for a few days it was over half of the avatars weren't loading for some reason. I haven't seen the problem lately though.
