The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I'd rather you post in a somewhat normal fashion, while keeping in mind things you can do to help conserve usage, than a large number of people be posting only when absolutely necessary and we get whalloped come the start of the fall TV season.

Ooooh, good point.

Thanks to the coders and unloaders and everyone who helped reduce the strain on the board.

I am 99.5% sure it was the quote generator.

Good enough for me.

I think this is really important. The worst thing would be the board crashing during a watch'n'post becuase everyone was too conservative now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Cookie cookie cookie starts with "C"!

I am 99.5% sure it was the quote generator.

But since we don't know *why* the quote generator caused the problem, we'll probably cause the same problem with the next feature implemented.

It would really pay to get to the bottom of this.

I'd be happy to look at the source code. I can probably even run it on my system at home, since I just installed MySQL and PHP for another reason.

Anyone who wants to do some investigating into this phenomenon off the server in their own time is more than welcome to. Insights will certainly be appreciated.

The list is at Am-Chau Yarkona "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Jun 26, 2003 6:41:51 am PDT. Isn't CVS a done deal? I thought that Rob got it set up and ready to use, based on ita "Buffistas Building a Better Board" May 9, 2003 4:05:12 pm PDT. Would the CVS let us, for example, roll back the change we made by adding explicit closes to all the functions, without touching the other changes we made since then? That would be handy at times like this.

Jess PMoon, Liese S, and I think Michelle T were looking at the SQL code. Rob, ita asked them to drop her a line at her profile address so she'd know where to send it, or maybe you could ask one of those three to forward you a copy.

Is PHP installed as a module or a CGI wrapper on our host?

eta, what version of PHP is running on our host?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
