The main page didn't actually work for me.  I somehow got logged out.

I would get a blank  screen.. I could put  my name and password  in, but as soon as I clicked it  went to '404'  thing.

 I tried   differant  links on the  page, both with    and without  having  my passwords in.

 Indeed, Bravo Jase for your care.

Indeed!... I was on a post board years ago..great game ( there were others, but   I hated the site)… we would  crash  a few times a month and be  down for days at a time.

 I  tried to get the DMs  there to move here.. but  he went to another site, and restarted  , his portion of the game. I go there  just to check posts.. the  Dice  roller is connected  to the posts..so...everyone sees the Dice   rolls  in yuou post, unless you poot in a thread made for dice  rolls?..  The site is slow when   getting there  and changing pages.. I love the game..hate the site, turned  down 4 offers  to join other  games, because  I  have flash backs of the old site there.

 I have mentioned  before, in all my many, many years of gaming, this is the best site I have been  a Member of.

 The Admins  here  keep   the  goofballs from ruining the site, JAse  and whomever  else helps  keep this place running  does a great job, which is why I don't  mine tossing a few  dollars into the  pot now  and then!

For me, it would only happen when I cleared my cookies.

Really?

That's a little odd and separate from what I and my various RPOL folks got. I suppose the gribbly particulars might have led to it, and if your session expired, then you wouldn't have been able to log back in.

In case we got switched up, I didn't mean that I was able to log in once the problems started, I meant that I was already logged in and it just continued showing me my games list whenever I reloaded the main page. Clicking anything on the page gave me a 404 except for like a 120-second span in the middle of the night.

On the other hand, it wouldn't let me log out. I think the common thread is "couldn't navigate away from the main page".

Yeah, it was just showing a snapshot of the main page and couldn't actually change anything else, so it preserved the state it was in when the logs started screwing everything up, I guess.

Actually, the wiki link in the upper right corned worked. I assume because it directed to a different site.

You know, that's like the one subdomain I didn't try.  Heh.

CleticAri and I wanted to help  :)

jase, in the years we have been here^(*), you have managed this site superbly.  Kudos.


(*) And that is a lot of years!

I just get worried that someday something might go wrong with jase!  We need to keep him safe.  In a little box, maybe.

...preferably one with air holes.

Seriously, thank you for everything.  I wish there were more ways we could lighten your load - you certainly do for us.

Schrodinger's Jase?

In reply to facemaker329 (msg # 21):

Lol, I noticed the first message was really old, so I only read the most recent ones. Dumb of me.

And the 404s start back up.  This is literally the only thread I can get to load.  The irony.

 Yup, but mine is off an on sofar?. Maybe they are working on the server?. uneducated guess.

The 404 message still usually happens to me at least once per day. I've always assumed it was just a maintenance window or something. It used to be at like 1615 EST pretty reliably, but has become much more irregular since the server changeover.

 a few months  ago ( before  new server?)  it seems to happen for an hoor or two on weekends?... this past outage was the longes  I ever had, but have had no problems   since.. I clean out  by   cookies  and history and  stuff  2  or three times   a week, cause I do surveys for  extra   'cash'..don't want too much of that hanging around.

Yes , cookie clearing does help a lot.

The weird thing was, this was the only thread I could load.


All I can think is that the site gained sentience and was f-ing with me.

 don't know what is going on now?

 "...500 internal service  error.." it was   fine   before I went to play football.. came back posted ., not   it  goes  white  with that message?

In reply to donsr (msg # 52):

It seems to be an intermittent problem.  It can happen trying to access the main page, or pages in games.  Try again, just a little later and it works..

yeah?  so far it  hit  me  changing threads... then   signing back in?... it has been coming and Going for  the last 40 minutes..so far  so good , as of this posting

In reply to donsr (msg # 52):

See, there's the problem.  You went outside and the server felt sad.  :)

More seriously, a 500 error seems to mean that the server doesn't know what's going on either.  Basically it means, "There's something wrong, but I can't be more specific."

 two times  I got the  white  page that   asks  you to try again?.. its  seems ok now?.. I never had a 500 before.

  My Daughter and her kids   left to go back to NC..and I went to play.. I had posted  before I left... and as soon as I came back..then when I checked  other stuff..it happened.

 but?..working now!
