I'm eagerly awaiting the crippled aviation comparison between the vBulletin PPRUNE software and something that's barely airborne.
I knew there were a few bugs in the vBulletin forum program in general, but I was under the impression that newer versions sorted out the bugs.
Perhaps the newer versions of vBulletin are only compounding error problems in the program, instead of eliminating them?
One thing is for sure. No other forum would offer a test of reliability and stability as PRRUNE does, with its humungous number of forum users at any one time.
I'm simply surprised that the program doesn't break down more often.

I don't think it's got anything to do with the vBulletin forum program, it's most likely to be a clock setting in one of the servers, which as I said in post #42 is set to PST.

I suspect it is rather more complex than just a time setting on a webserver.
Possibly something to do with management of session state over hardware load balancers, web servers and database server.

Oh, FF's sake, this means nothing here. It's supposed to be after Slasher's post.

No, using the Reply in the post box didn't work.

. Basically what I said to Mrs B this morning over breakfast. She said she thought it was more likely that the server does not use burst/shared ram through multiple machines, as well as individual CPU cores, so we agreed to differ and did the washing up.

Thread disappears Friday 25Nov
Just to log a thread-disappear:
On Friday morning, in the Tech' forum, there was a thread asking about PAINT on large aircraft. At about 18z, I added two links to Boeing's _Aero_ e-zine (discussing "coatings") -- which should have been about the THIRD slot. INSTEAD, it appeared as the TOP slot (with an erroneous time-stamp). Naturally, when I attempted to relocate that message to the lower (later) position, THE WHOLE THREAD DISAPPEARED.
Sorry -- to the man looking for data on aircraft coatings.
[And now this message was initially returned with the diagnostic about a time-stamp: here's a second attempt to "submit reply".]
