Grumble....
2003-12-11
I noticed a couple missing comments today. My son, Tom, made his first comment ever today, and it disappeared. Paul made a comment that I thought was funny, and it's gone. I've noticed the same thing a couple times in the past, and put it down to my hitting the wrong button...

We'll be down sporadically tonight, starting around 7 p.m. local time, as I upgrade the database and change the passwords...

#16  Damn! I didn't make any comments on an article and sure enough... there aren't any there!

#15  Fred, while you're fixing stuff can you make clicking to individual articles from the top the way it was before -- i.e. possible without reloading the entire main page?

#14  Al-Aska Paul...

Something something AlQ
Something something Sun Tzu
Something shrapnel something else
Something that didn't rhyme

Burma Shave

#13  My comments on Al Qaeda were recorded in a Burma Shave rhyme. It was lost and for the life of me I could not remember it word for word. So I had to make a limerick instead.

#11  Oh crap. What I was trying to say was that the first comment of the day (mine, rosco post) went missing by noon.

#10  Just to add to the fray, my comments from this morning went missing as well. I was the first to comment today, on the "rosco" post, and by noon the comment was gone (the story itself was still there). So, whatever the problem, it was already happening on the first comment of the day.

#9  Sorry Fred. I noticed the posts gone missing earlier today, but wasn't sure if I should speak up. I will email you the next time I see something "funny". (Hoping there's not a "next time" of course.)

#8  Haven't noticed anything missing, but did notice you are using MySQL via one of the error messages. I know its easy to use, but you may want to consider migrating to Postgresql

#7  Not an instant but I posted an article this morning and it's gone. Also i had comments on the Human rights watch rant that are now missing.

#6  It's driving me nuts - I don't know if I'm doing something stoopid, if I've got a serious bug, or if somebody's sneaking in the back door...

Please let me know the instant you notice something missing!

#5  Fred, I thought I was losing my mind! Now where is it?

#4  We're back, on the upgrade version of the database. We'll be dropping periodically this evening as I change passwords on everything in sight.

#3  Binny and al-Q have finally figured out the growing importance of Rantburg and the Army of Steve™!

#1  Several posts are missing too...the first one you posted this morning (the rosco post), my Hek post, and a post about Germany and the Kalifstaat. I was taking it personally. You may want to lock it down sooner than 7pm...
