Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it.

AskWoody PlusAs of the time of this post, the site seems to be operating normally with the “missing” posts back in their rightful places, from what I’ve checked so far.
Is the site still under maintenance behind the scenes (aside from the normal daily things) or has the scheduled re-indexing been completed?

AskWoody Plus…it would be nice to have a designated place to report forum problems.
In my opinion, that place would be the link below:
https://www.askwoody.com/forums/forum/askwoody-central/suggestions-about-improving-the-lounge/
After all, reporting problems usually gets them fixed, which, in my opinion, is an improvement in the lounge. 🙂

AskWoody PlusZig’s idea is not a bad one, in my opinion. “Suggestions for improving the Forum” is really for that, not for problems that someone has all of the sudden and needs fixing, not because there is something wrong with the forum that needs improving, but because of some thing that usually works just fine has malfunctioned, for example. That is supposed to be what “Customer support” should be, but in my own experience, it is running very slow these days and is (I believe) just one person now and then looking at what loungers might have complained or asked about.
As to the restoration of the disappeared comments: I have two long threads in “Fun Stuff” and have checked them from beginning to end. Conclusion: everything that was there before the “incident”, at least as far as I remember, is still there. So, assuming that the current state of those two threads is representative of the whole (and assuming the job is now all done), I would say the restoration has been a success. If I come across some missing comments, I’ll be back to report on those.

Guest“Shhh I think we’re somewhat back to normal.”

AskWoody PlusAbout the return of “square one”: I believe there might be a much easier way to find an example of that by looking for it in this very thread, where the same comment posted earlier today by Zig appears twice, time-stamped just one minute apart. Assuming that Zig did not posted it twice himself, accidentally. But if it has been caused by “square one”, maybe, considering the possible alternative, we just could live with that?

GuestOscarCP, yes there too, although when browsing earlier I had noticed the double post in the wooden ‘new topics’ panel. Looks like the forum admins have removed it now.
To post in quick succession should be supressed by anti DDOS flooding. This seems to behave like a bug in either a widget/ plugin or whatever other forum software that is used by this site.

ManagerActually we’re not at square one, we <cough, okay I> know how to handle this properly and not use the solution we originally thought would work and didn’t. There’s a much more surgical way to fix the double post issue without kicking a total reindexing.
