I had the same problem last night in The Lounge. There was a many-hour gap in new threads so assume the site was down. My super-duper Scottish Pizza experience has now been relegated to the dustbin of history and no-one will ever know....

It seems Chris gave too many people the ability to move threads. Someone was too quick to move my Lounge thread without even reading the thread or its responses.
I've moved it back.

Stop it! Stop it! I'm getting a headache.

Hi Chris,
Just found an issue in profile "Group" Tab. Not sure if this has already been reported to you or not.
I can see "Apply to join this group" button with all existing groups. And, when I click on the button below message appearing
"Not enough information supplied"
Please have a look !

Yes, I also found the same issue.

I was reading Should we use Singular or Plural Database Table Names[^] which is quite interesting but simply a rehash of many similar articles/blogs.
When I came to the 'Related Content' section I noticed that from the titles at least two were not at all 'related'. Both (although I only looked at the first) were instructions on how to hijack accounts of some kind.
Whilst it is important to be aware of such exploits in order to mitigate against them, does CP really want to host links to tutorials like this. If such topics should be linked to, surely 'How to avoid' type articles would be better.
It could well be that I am overreacting but it seems wrong to me.
Any thoughts?

It seems like every second or third page request in the Lounge is met with your Abort, Retry, Fail? error page. This has been going on since around 23h00 SAST last night, and still no different now, 07h00 SAST.

I've gone through all our error logs and can't see any errors relating to the Lounge.
Is an error ticket provided? It sounds like you're getting the cached result of a previous error. Which browser? Are you doing anything odd? Well, more odd than usual? Does it happen if you use a different browser or machine?

More odd than usual?  Hehe, no. In fact arguing with Dalek Dave is not odd at all.
I didn't see or think to look for an error ticket, but one factor might be the first time I got the error was when I clicked on the link to a post from within the email telling me about the post. I'll see if I can repro it in a short while.

It wasn't an argument, merely a discussion about the origins of The Fourth Estate.
And I got the message too.

Can you please forward me the email? That link is clearly broken.

I found and fixed the issue. It was an issue only with a single thread due to an issue with how we were creating URLs for messages. Fix will be uploaded today.

On the Who's Who listing of profiles, article count, Q&A Questions and Answers counts seem to be missing. Would this just be a caching issue or perhaps related to the outage the other day. But if you go to a specific profile of a user, these counts do appear. Not a biggie. Thanks.

I'd quite like to know how long people read before they press the download button or post a vote in the forum.
If you were to add 0 point in the reputation history each time someone visit an article, we could sort of guess how long they've been reading before giving you a 1 or a 5.

How could you be certain that the user is actually reading for all that time and has not gone to lunch, fallen asleep, switched to a different app etc.

It would be an interesting stat. My feeling, though, is that there would be many cases where people read, leave, comeback and download.

You've gotten me in a nutshell there, Chris. I tend to read the articles and often save the article page so that I can read it offline in my leisure, then if I want to dig deeper, I come back to the article to download the resources.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
