What is wrong with PPRuNE posting times
 

What has been going on over the last few days where an answer to a posting before appears above the posting at an earlier time?

It would be helpful if you could provide a specific example.

TTRAB posts 819 & 820 page 41, tony draper's post 819 is a comment on MagnusP's post 820

post 5308 gives a screen shot.

Looks like a database corruption on 24th - just adding to the "charm" of PPRuNe. :hmm:

There were problems with the site that morning - have been problems many days recently, TBH.

This morning I have seen several of my posts appear at time minus 10 minutes, immediately after posting.

This caused them to be threaded before others already existing.

Anybody posted tonights lottery results?..;)

I knew you were going to say that.

Maybe it's a cunning new feature to give the regulars something to talk / moan about. ;)

It has been causing havoc on the 'where on earth' thread - who got it first?

Interesting anyway.

I see yet again PPRuNE was working in a mode of non functionality this morning.

Forum time (at the bottom of the page) is at the moment 9 minutes behind actual time - maybe that has something to do with it if forum time keeps jumping around?

Yes - definitely the problem - a moment ago the time difference was 15 minutes and now it's back to showing the correct time.

Perhaps you will have to rename to 'when on earth' thread! :)

Sorry, I'm not belittling your problems, but I do know how likely it is to get fixed. :(

Thank you SD. It all adds to the fun :)

Not sure anyone at HQ is actually interested any more, but the posting times seem to have settled, while the 'latest post' database is still crook.

Correction to that - posting times still SNAFU'd

This time-stamp embuggerance problem seems to only affect
threads when there's more than one making a post at roughly
the same time.

Plays bloody havoc with the Limerick and the Last Two Letters
threads when someone fires up that damn coincidence engine!

I kept seeing a "database error" message this morning, couldn't get onto the site at all.

I had the same from about 07.00 GMT gave up at 09.00. It seem to be happening quite a lot recently.

I think the IT people are going to have to look into this the sponsors will not be happy.

IT people? This is the mental image I have of the PPRuNe IT person:

- Danny obviously doing well on VA crew meals.
