Bill, all the boards are showing empty again this morning

Brownbear02 Mar 2015 3:15 a.m. PST

he did it again

Personal logo x42brown Supporting Member of TMP02 Mar 2015 3:18 a.m. PST

I didn't break it. I won't do it again.

Oh dear, looks like the indexing broke again.

Posts on the front page are still available of course.

Winston Smith02 Mar 2015 5:51 a.m. PST

AWI has one topic listed while Flames if War has none.

Martin Rapier02 Mar 2015 5:56 a.m. PST

I think the way the error manifests itself is that new topics created since the 'housekeeping' failed will get indexed properly and appear on the boards, whereas updates to existing threads don't.

The only way in to old topics is via the front page, another good reason to crank it up to 400:)

Hit the "Sort by Date" button and it will refresh the db pull and give you the topics back.

Winston Smith02 Mar 2015 6:21 a.m. PST

Yes. That works.

Winston Smith02 Mar 2015 6:44 a.m. PST

But if I back out of American Revolution, and go back in again there are no listings again. Hit sort and they come back.

Clues enough?

Zeelow02 Mar 2015 7:09 a.m. PST

Thanks Etotheipi.

Martin Rapier02 Mar 2015 7:20 a.m. PST

Neat workaround, maybe when Bill wakes up he could put a suggestion on the front page to do that instead of taking whole site down to re-index.

Louie N02 Mar 2015 7:58 a.m. PST

"Sort by Date" brought all topics back for me.

Of course it has to be done board by board.

Rebelyell200602 Mar 2015 8:06 a.m. PST

And sort by date reverts itself when you leave the page…

GeoffQRF02 Mar 2015 8:08 a.m. PST

Hit the "Sort by Date" button…

It only shows sort by the start date of the topic, not the last posting date, and doesn't show the correct number of posts so you cant see if anything has been added.

If you then go back to teh board itself it is the same (i.e. not showing)

I search by author and it brings up any posts I have made correctly. If i then reply it puts them back on the board.

I suspect there will be another extended maintenance period in about 12 hours time.

Maintenance is coming…

"The Membership System will be closing for maintenance in 9 minutes. Please finish anything that will involve the membership system, including membership changes or posting of messages"

See you soon! (smile)

How much time Bill?

Gwydion02 Mar 2015 12:33 p.m. PST

ECW Board empty as well – and cache cleared as well.

Apologies if this is a dumb question – as a "lapsed" supporting member, am I still supposed to have access to the TMP Plus and Exchange boards?

They seem to be showing up for me, and I don't recall having access in the past….

Personal logo Editor in Chief Bill The Editor of TMP Fezian02 Mar 2015 12:59 p.m. PST

OK, will try again… frown

Tango0102 Mar 2015 1:02 p.m. PST

Still showing only the threads from today in each forum…

I am (and have always been) only a Basic Member and I can see both of those boards fine, so yes you are still supposed to have access.

Finally I see what your talking about, plus I click on a board and get time out lock.

MajorB02 Mar 2015 3:02 p.m. PST

plus I click on a board and get time out lock.

Nah, that happens all the time.

Personal logo Editor in Chief Bill The Editor of TMP Fezian02 Mar 2015 5:26 p.m. PST

I believe the problem is fixed, but we'll see for sure in the morning.

Due to the growth of TMP, I needed to split one of the maintenance processes into three separate tasks.

Gwydion02 Mar 2015 5:28 p.m. PST

Seems to be okay now after the last reset.grin
