Site problems - 5th Feb 2010

  • Comment
Let me apologise for the spate of problems that have occured today from about 4pm GMT onwards. That time honoured favourite of mine, sod's law, exposed its ugly head again as I worked to fix an issue with the forums. Naturally fixing one minor problem produces one much larger problem to deal with.

After my supposed fix earlier in the day it turns out that the table indexes on forum posts (including file/image comments) became out of synch causing all sorts of problems; like posts not being made, duplicate posts being made and users having editing access to other people's posts. What fun!

In an attempt to fix this issue I've rebuilt the indexes and have had to remove some 250 odd posts that had duplicate IDs, which means if you've posted on the site sometime today then your post might not be there any more. You might want to double-check!

Normally I'd be happy to stick this update in the announcements forum but I'm looking for a bit of feedback to make sure that this problem isn't still here. I've tested out the comments/forums as much as possible but if you come across any new problems then please leave a comment in this thread detailing the issue.

Thanks.

    Trent0911:

    Mods for Fallout 3 cannot be used on the Xbox or any other console system. That is why, when it comes to Bethesda games such as Fallout 3, Oblivion, and the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas it is ALWAYS best to go PC. Mods extend the life cycle and playability of these games and other like them far longer than on consoles.

    "Tell you what, i demand you take back your apology, and Never apologize again. Let US apologize to you for having to deal with this crap, please be patient, cause we need you and depend on you for our file hosting needs that bring our games to life"

    Ditto the above!!! This site, and its sister for Oblivion are my solace in times of I-need-a-new-game woes. I simply find a new interesting mod, and presto-chango, I have a brand new game with old friends galore. Thanks for hosting all this valuable content, and making me spend less to enjoy what I already own.

    The law can be easily avoided at if you built a better fundamental, but this means a huge amount of work lol!

    Technically, it's near impossible to create the perfect fundamental structure for something...

    lol, just read the news. got a laugh out of it, not in spite, but at the thought of having to deal with such a sh*t storm as an admin.

    i've always loved this site and still do and i could think of Much worse scenarios that would Still be completely forgivable. Don't be so hard on yourselves ;]

    you guys provide for us year after year without even receiving lint from our pockets (at least not mine!), we'll get over it, promise. but still..i can already picture a handful if not more of "outrage" posts/messages at the staff, making it seem like such a crisis..my goodness HOW could you let this happen.

    shame on you nexus, you evil beasts!!!

    ;p

    Tell you what, i demand you take back your apology, and Never apologize again. Let US apologize to you for having to deal with this crap, please be patient, cause we need you and depend on you for our file hosting needs that bring our games to life
