Serious question: If you aren't going to restore automatically everyone's correct post count then what is the point of even continuing to log post counts for anyone from this point on?

We are working on fixing the remaining issues.
Good! Let me know if you are done fixing the servers. It should be corrections back to normal routine number of the post count.

Because post counts aren't that big of a deal for some people. If it is going to be a manual process, we would only like to focus on updating the post counts of people who really, seriously care. We are looking into automating the process of updating people's post counts, but haven't decided if that is the solution we want to go with.

I agree. I suspect you will find there are about 40 posters who really worry about what their post count is.

That many?



New problem just encountered. Clicked to go newest post in this thread and got a pop-up login box

The server new.flyertalk.com at APO requires a username and password.

Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).

Edit: and again when I just clicked 'New Posts' at the top of the screen.

The website looks very odd for me.. images are not loading or something.

I just spot a new problem.

I was about to double quote a post in my next reply. However, when I clicked on the post # (the number located to the upper right hand corner of each post), it showed as a broken link:
HTTP 404 - File not found

Oops! This link appears broken.

Suggestions:
Go to www. flyertalk. com
Go to www. flyertalk. com/ forum

Apparently, I am not everyone.

Here are the proofs:

1. I've been logging in and out numerous times today but I haven't seen that tardy, or should I say retarded, January welcome message. Not even once.

2. Others are able to keep the invisible mode, but I am currently stripped from that option. That option is removed from my profile since 4/8/09.

I'm also still having trouble:

From http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/conti...ds-merged.html when I click on the "last" link to go to the most recent thread, I get a page not found error.

lin821 Apr 10, 2009 4:41 pm
It appears the thread addresses have gone back from the new long descriptives to the "traditional" numbered system.

For instance: the address for this thread is now http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=941791

Not sure if this counts as a problem though.

Kagehitokiri Apr 10, 2009 4:44 pm
now im getting "page not found" for some threads. never seen that before...

my post count has dropped 200+ looks like? bizarre.

jennj99738 Apr 10, 2009 4:48 pm
OMNI and OMNI/PR disappeared
 
Now, I'm getting "page not found" errors for all posts in OMNI and OMNI/PR. The thread titles appear on the main page but no posts.

I guess this means I have to work.

I've also dropped like 18 posts on my count but I'm not one to care.

*As of 4:15 or so PDT, it's back up. Disaster (work) avoided.

Kagehitokiri Apr 10, 2009 4:52 pm
looks like theyre fixing the urls as we speak.

Well maybe it is time for you to read them rather than blaming IBB. :rolleyes:
