Umm, it seems that the majority of posts on the discussion boards have disappeared. I've tried it both through links off the front page and direct links from the forums pages. Stuff on the front page is still there. Anyone else seeing this? |

Yes, TMP Plus seems to be working fine as is the Blue Fez (not that there is much worth reading over there) it seems to be limited to the main discussion boards. |
Martin Rapier | 18 Feb 2015 4:35 a.m. PST |
I wonder if the re-indexing went wrong. I suspect it is just the presentation rather than the content itself. |
TamsinP | 18 Feb 2015 4:49 a.m. PST |
Funnily enough, this is the only topic I am being presented in "TMP Talk" having popped over from the SF boards (where most topics in the sub-boards I read are gone). The Lounge was as full of topics as ever. |
CATenWolde | 18 Feb 2015 5:22 a.m. PST |
Yep, same here, although uneven – ACW looked ok, but Napoleonics was only showing the most recent. |

If you search by author you can still find the threads. If you then post something that thread reappears on the board |
Chris Palmer | 18 Feb 2015 6:30 a.m. PST |
There seems to also be a lot of errors in post counts shown on the TMP front page and actual posts on each topic. |
Editor in Chief Bill | 18 Feb 2015 6:43 a.m. PST |
I can put the site back into maintenance to fix the problem, but we'll be down for two hours or so. What do you think? |

Winston Smith | 18 Feb 2015 6:54 a.m. PST |
Go ahead. Maybe I can get some work done. |
GeoffQRF | 18 Feb 2015 6:55 a.m. PST |
Yes Bill, worth doing. Put a message on the front page |

Bob Runnicles | 18 Feb 2015 7:21 a.m. PST |
Agreed, it needs fixing. Definitely worth doing :) |
John the OFM | 18 Feb 2015 7:26 a.m. PST |
You can always schedule a Poll for next month… "Housekeeping", Bill. Do it. You know you want to. |
War Monkey | 18 Feb 2015 7:50 a.m. PST |
Do it! I have other work I have to do today. |
Earl of the North | 18 Feb 2015 7:54 a.m. PST |
Well the 'what is happening' posts are multiplying so its probably best to take TMP off and fix it. |
snurl1 | 18 Feb 2015 8:44 a.m. PST |
So thats where everything got to. |
TheBeast | 18 Feb 2015 8:57 a.m. PST |
Allow me to add my apology for sending a PM before seeing this thread. I'm SO ashamed. Doug |
Yesthatphil | 18 Feb 2015 8:57 a.m. PST |
Yep … I agree with the throw the switch approach Phil |
Great War Ace | 18 Feb 2015 10:16 a.m. PST |
Still Bugged, at 10:16. This is the only topic showing on TMP Talk. No topics at all in Wargaming in General…. |
John the OFM | 18 Feb 2015 10:27 a.m. PST |
If it will help any, "I'll turn off my computer and go do something. |
Redcoat 55 | 18 Feb 2015 10:41 a.m. PST |
Yes, fixing it would probably be justified even if the site is down. |

Yesterday was a very hard day to post. In two times I lost my first 50 minutes waiting for my threads enter the forum and in a second attempt (at night) more than one hour!. Today I cannot see anything from yesterday , only threads from today!. What is going on?. If I take into account that Bill said two hours from 5:43 Am and actually it's 9:39 Am and the problem is still there… we are in bad trouble! (smile) Any news Bill? Amicalement Armand |
Xintao | 18 Feb 2015 11:27 a.m. PST |
At the very least throw up a news headline about Forum issues and your working on it. Xin |
Editor in Chief Bill | 18 Feb 2015 2:06 p.m. PST |
We're back! |
Great War Ace | 18 Feb 2015 3:33 p.m. PST |
That's it? No information about what happened?… |
Extra Crispy | 18 Feb 2015 4:03 p.m. PST |
it Bill, there are a million threads all over my living room and den. Can you please come collect them and shove them back in the servers where they belong? Gahhh, they stick to *everything* |
TheKing30 | 18 Feb 2015 6:02 p.m. PST |
That's it? No information about what happened?… Simple. It was broke. Bill fixed it. |
Editor in Chief Bill | 18 Feb 2015 6:59 p.m. PST |
That's it? No information about what happened?… Something went wrong during the nightly maintenance phase, causing the main forum database's index to fail. I have no idea why. I believe we had a similar problem about five years ago, involving another database. The problem was fixed by reindexing the database. Now we shall see if this is just a random glitch (I hope) or if it will recur. This has nothing to do with the database work which Editor Julia has been doing. |
