and the plot thickens...

any account changes/additions/etc from Jan11-2001 3:15am EST to Jan12-2001 9:40am EST (basically all of Thursday) have been lost.

same error.
should be fixed, thanks to flock().


: Tonight I learned all about flock().
: Hopefully there won't be the risk of two people
: accessing the same file at the same time ever again.

: If you experience any problems when posting to the forums, or changing your account info, or voting, etc., please please please e-mail me and tell me exactly what you were doing, and when, and to what, etc.

: Thanks.

: : Sometime Thursday night, around 11PM-ish EST the general forum went haywire.

: : Thanks to those who e-mailed me and let me know.
: : (most of the time i just read the threads in the chronological archive)

: : anyway. i'm sorry if your thread is not on the general forum anymore. i tried to fix it the best i could.

: : also, i have changed the archiving from 7 days to 4 days. after 4 days, your message will disappear from the main threaded page. the reason? 300+kb threaded forums. they take 30+ seconds to load on 56k modems.

: : so, i will look into why we lost the threads, and maybe find some more protection against this kind of problem so it won't happen in the future.

: : thanks.
: : Brandon
