something fishy with thread

heimue · 11-03-2006

Gary,

something is happening on thread http://www.opelgt.com/forums/ascona-...d=1#post108442.
I have posted twice, and each time the post that was the last one before I posted was the located after mine, and the posting time changed, for example on my second post I answered to BAZ, but my post shows to be older than BAZ's.
Additionally, when I left the thread and went back to "Home", in the same minute 5 or 6 threads were shown newer than mine - all in the same minute. Coincidence???

I am getting the same thing in all threads too. It's like it's stopped updating everything as of last night 11-2-06 around 11 Pm EST. Jarrell

jlthunder · 11-03-2006

Same here. I'm reading them and thinking to myself, I must be psychic, I thought I read them last night but they are still only 1 minute old

We are being sucked into a black hole where the time continuim is being altered by the event horizon making all time relativity useless. I knew this would happen sime day. Been watching too much Star Trek

hallgeir · 11-03-2006

Same here. So then it`s not me getting crazy after all. What a relief.

You are posting with Warp-speed, through a Getrag 5-sp directly to the rear thread ... or maybe I get carried away...

dieter i could have sworn there was no mention of saving weight or electricals in the post when i read and replied to you !!

gremlins in the works !!???

ghoasts for halloween ????? spooky for sure

benncojr · 11-03-2006

It is also happining on the Photo Galary. I think it has something to do with the local time of day of the poster vs the actual time of the posting. I think someone hit the wrong switch!!

baz · 11-03-2006

it could be the millenniumn bug has finaly got here

hallgeir · 11-03-2006

It seems like I have been "quoted" in the pink gt thread, before I wrote it. I wonder how you did that, opelnut10

Should we run our Opels with the headlights on or off? If the time continuim is being altered, can we get NOS parts easier?

Gary · 11-03-2006

And I thought I was hung over this morning when I noticed the glitch..... I'll look into it when I get home. If it is in the photo gallery also, it my be server related. The only thing i have done recently was to set up a test forum where I loaded a new member blog program. It is on a different database, but I disabled that a few hours ago.

hallgeir · 11-03-2006

And I just turned on the TV and watched the news for 3 november 1983....

Just kiddin`,

I`m sure there is a reason for this, and I`m sure Gary will find it.

and I replied to a quote that was in 5th place, and when I posted the thing it took over the 5th place.

and what I was quoting went to the 6th place?????????

earlier today I noticed that if I had read a thread and went back, the thread did not change to say is was read, and while I'm typing this, it's still only 1 minute ago that I visited, and I'm not that fast with typing [2/10 finger method]

Gary · 11-03-2006

Let's see.... when did eBay go public????

Seriously, Quite a few sites are reporting the same issue and the forum folks are looking into it. Might be a post timestamp issue.

timemachine · 11-03-2006

Is it possible this happened when we were prompted to adjust for the end of daylight savings time? Maybe posts are being ordered by local posting time.

N61WP · 11-03-2006

Does this mean I'm getting younger????

Gary · 11-03-2006

It appears to be a global issue. I'll update this thread when a fix is out....

Gary · 11-03-2006

Looks like the gremlins have left the building. Anyone else notice that things are now "fixed"?

Gary · 11-04-2006

Here is the response to the problem:

\"Due to a recent interruption in ntp on one of
our servers, some license requests were denied
inadvertantly. This may have affected server
times, bulletin boards and other software that
relys on system time for operation. We have
implemented a monitoring system that will pull
any time server out of the rotation in case an
event such as this occurs in the future. This
system will guarantee no interruption of license
requests due to this issue. We sincerely apologize
for any inconvenience this may have caused and
can guarantee that our system will prevent future
occurances.\"

There will be a few posts that are out of sequence. Let me know if those are a problem or if we can let them ride.

It is [a little

] annoying not to have the posts in the right sequence

Looks like 7, 8, 9 should be 1, 2, 3. I'll have to find a timestamp code converter and edit the database....
