Strange Timing Problems??

sarorah · 03-29-2006, 11:55 PM

I don't know if you already know about this, but the time is really acting up and when you post, it posts above the last person, even though it acknowledges you as the last poster.

Ditto on this. Is the server time being changed or is the time different between the multiple servers or something?

Im sorry, but you will need to provide a little more detail to what you see happening and a link to a post in question.

Sorry.. the problem happened sometime this afternoon. I've seen a handful of threads like this where replies to the original post are time-stamped before the original post itself. I haven't seen it happen since then.

So 3/31 or 4/1?

It happened to me about 15 mins ago.

What Do I Do.

I have chk'd each link posted here and all posted are in order, there are two links that show the sametime as each other, but that does happen.

If you can show me a post that is time stamped out of order i could look into it more, but im not seeing that in any of those links.

IzzyJ · 03-31-2006, 02:20 AM

Actually, the latest link I put up (you're up late, unless you're not living in the US. You should be sleeeping.) has the title/starting thread as the third post, as the title is put in bold.

It's not time-stamped out of order, but when we post a reply, we notice ourselves that our replies are sometimes put ahead of the post we replied to. Our post seem to have been given an earlier time stamp that what it was when we started writing.

AnthonyG · 03-31-2006, 03:19 AM

Fixed, let me know if you see it anymore.

IzzyJ · 03-31-2006, 03:21 AM

Da. Multumesc. ("Thank you" in Romanian.)

AnthonyG · 03-31-2006, 03:29 AM

I'm actually adapted to being a night owl and works well being a server admin.

With a record high of 4000 ppl on the forums today (at the same time), now is the time i can actually work on the servers.

al tău bun venit <-- prolly swore at ya lol

IzzyJ · 03-31-2006, 03:50 AM

Wow. How embarrassing is this. I've lived in Romania for a while but I don't know how to say "You're welcome".

So I don't know if you cussed at me or not.

But if you say "de nada" (Spanish) or "sama sama" (Malay), I'll be able to nod and smile back and not get suspicious of you.

So...*scratch head* working on servers works better than people are actually ON the server? Like, loads of people....

Wow, I think my head just blew tryin' to comprehend that. *scattered Izzy brain* Ewwww...

AnthonyG · 03-31-2006, 03:58 AM

lmfao

well im not entirely sure what i said either, but thats what the online translator told me to say, haha...

As to working on the server, i need them OFF the server, so for me, working late at night is much better as there are only about 800 - 1000 ppl on this late or that early for you. During the afternoon to late night my time which is EST, GMT -5, there are a lot more and today was one of the worst for a forum site and 4000 ppl being on the site.

IzzyJ · 03-31-2006, 04:07 AM

My trusty Romanian friend says it does mean you're welcome.

So no cussing from you, young man.

Or...old wise guru who I should be bowing down to for helping CC exist and giving me so many great friends. *bows*

Oooh, right... Now it makes sense. Trust a man to get it garbled up the first time. Yeah, I can understand how around decision time (especially them Ivies) CC will be hopping and jumping. *scratch head* You set your clock ahead on Sunday, right? So you'd be 8 hrs behind instead of the usual 7 (we put our clocks ahead last Sunday). 4:06 am. You better be chewing ice and eating chocolate to stay awake. But no coffee. Coffee reeks.

(Jumpy from pulling two all-nighters to comfort friends. Darn the time difference and colleges for putting out decisions during EST afternoon.)
