Anyone else seeing problem w/Active List?

...or is it my machine?

I could not reach WebmasterWorld this morning - kept getting server timeouts.
Now I've noticed several other problems:
Active list has oldest posts first, and clicking on "Date" to reorder to most-recent-first does not work. Trying to change the sort order by hand-adjusting the URL doesn't work, either.
System date in control panel preference change screen indicates a date of May 13th.
Trouble exists in multiple browsers; I tried NS7, IE6.1, and Opera 6.06.

Anyone else having problems?

Yes

Big problems

I think Brett must be playing

Your post gives a date

10:26 pm on May 13, 2003 (utc +1)

which is in the future ;)

I was just going to post along similar lines. My active list has changed to list by # of messages as default, although reordering by date does work for me. This doesn't seem to be an option in the control panel, so I guess the system has chaged for some reason? Dates seem to be messed up too.

Same problem here (uk) server down 1930 GMT. date 13th, time is out too. I thought it was my machine/isp prob but thanks for easing the pain.

I am not getting any access problems with the site, but I have seen it happen with the active list before.

Brett moves all the unamswered posts to the active list so they get read and answered, he done it a few months ago. Just to keep the whole site fresh :)

Craig,

What browser/version are you using? (There's nothing like a broken Active List to reveal WebmasterWorld addiction!)

Ditto for me, too, took me a few minutes to squirm my way to the latest threads (dated: 11:23 pm on May 13, 2003 (utc +1).

He, he, you're right jdMorgan, I'm beginning to get the shakes already..... ;+)

No problems accessing the site today (unlike ODP editors' forums which have been off all day, and resource zone which has been on, then off, then on again, then off again all day), however for the last two and a half hours the time and date on WW has been kicked 2 days and 2 hours into the future.

Is it possible to use WebmasterWorld without the 'recent posts' list? I'm totaly lost!

I was wondering about this a few hours ago and kept checking here to see if anybody else was experiencing it. After no posts for an hour or so figured it was just me.

After a couple of more hours at a flick am almost relieved to find it ain't just me, just Brett tinkering under the hood again.

I'd love to hear from those of you who are not having problems... or not having major problems...

What browser and browser version are you using? If one works better than another, I'd be glad to fire up a different browser until the maintenance is over...

Thanks,
Jim

msr986,

You can go to the WebmasterWorld home page, and just cycle through the forums that interest you. Nowhere near as convenient as the Active list, but it works.

I thougth Brett would have stopped in to put the people at ease :)

Using IE6 on Windows 98 I dont have any access problems, no problems on Opera as well.

It is set to show unanswered messages first today. We've had too many orphans lately - that's pretty critical that we get some of those answered. So, until a few more of those get cleared out, I thought I'd leave it set that way for today.

Hmmm, kinda sorta foobar on dates and order.
Maybe Brett recently applied a new sj type
algo to the forums?

Oooops!

How do you fix that? Switch everything off for 51 hours to allow reality to catch us up, or hand edit the dates and times of the last couple of hundred posts in the database.

Hmmmm.

Ok. I send a sticky to brett and then found this thread. I noticed some date issues before when i saw that a member's registered date showed some date in 1970. I know WW is an old site but 1970 ...

Maybe WW is trying to spam the Freshbot? :)

Still two days in the future, your forum ;)

MSIE 6 - different access points, different providers (office and home) - no "time machine" with other sites all over the world.

I know that "me too" posts are discouraged here and I understand why. In this case though I felt it was important to state, "me too" so that Brett knows lots of folks are seeing this date problem. I hope I've been helpful rather than distracting. :)

g1smd: Thanks. I didn't notice until you mentioned it that my post and yours have the correct date/time on them even though the thread itself is still dated the 14th.

Too bad, we don't have Tuesday's news today. Otherwise, I'd make a killing in the stock market tomorrow.

I can't seem to get rid of new post indicators, I can't reset pointers and the bullets that did disappear in the supporters forum came back. I reset and they vanished again.

Is anyone else having problems?

it is stemming from the date problem, the dates are corrected now it seems but there are still posts from the future so, I assume, the "date last reset" is perpetually less than 2 days from now.

At worst it will sort itself out wed sometime.

Anyone else seeing this?
