I got this error message when clicking New Posts after reading a thread

Worked the next time.
 
ive been noticing it quite often lately too. best i ever got was wait for 13 seconds
 
For some reason that started happening yesterday. Prior to that it would make you wait the 30 seconds. But about 10am on Sunday I too started getting the weird time messages.
 
Please let me know if this continues. Its...unique, thats for sure.
 
My best time was wait 27 seconds. However I only waited about 5 hit the button agian and it worked.

Hmm.

Wierd.

Ok, I'll start looking into it.
 
I got a "wait 2 seconds", I did not record the date and time, but I think it was yesterday around noon PST.

I wonder if this could be a clock problem.

Suppose the internal clock is running fast and the background time sync job resets it back. Then what we're seeing is
(time of last post before sync +5s) < (current time after sync)

Chuck - how often do you sync time and do you keep a log of corrections?

I don't, and I don't. AFAIK it's all based on web server time.

I'm also not seeing this issue.

Now it MAY be an issue with whatever server on the grid you're currently getting...

But it's very odd - it doesn't seem to be affecting everyone...

That's just ... wierd.

What kind of searches are you doing to get this weird message?

It happens when I hit the "New Posts" link in the blue bar at the top of the page... or the bottom.

Humor me. Log out, hit CTRL-F5 a couple times, then log back in. See if the problem persists...

I would... but then I'm not sure if I would ever get logged back in since I can't seem to remember my password. Last time I logged out it took me about 2 weeks to figure out how to get back on.... :rolleyes:
 
Missa,

I can have the forum send you a lost password link, which you can use to change your password to something you'll remember.

Yea, I know... then I have to remember what e-mail it gets sent to, have the time to log into that then go through changing the password and evidently you only have a limited time to do it before it goes dead.... which is what took me two weeks last time.... :D

I waited five seconds and it told me to try again in 18 seconds. I tried again in another five seconds and it told me to try again in 16 seconds. Finally, it tells me there are no new posts.

I guess Scott was running out of political pages to comment on. :D

I just got a twofer like you just described too but I only waited a second or two between then two requests. Both were for new posts and both were on Firefox

Linux will timesync by default I believe. I have to investigate where the setup is, one of the options is to log the deltas.

It certainly isn't a big percentage of the time. I don't have a clue what a repeatable sequence would be.
 
i just got 60, 58, and 32 seconds, respectively. pushing new posts on IE.
 
I got the error while browsing in FF2.0.0.11 on Vista32 with the cache disabled.

It seems almost like there is some error in how it is computing time. Have you changed versions of PHP recently? Or maybe changed vBullitn versions and it expects a different version of PHP?

I have had a bit of trouble with PHP time functions moving code from 4.x to 5.x.

Missed that the frist time.

If we are running on multiple servers, how closely are their clocks synchronized?

easy way to check Linux is "telnet <host> 13" if the service is running.

Is pilots of america running on multiple servers? Seems like that might kind of be overkill?

And it seems to be happening more often the last few hours. Anywhere from "wait 9 seconds" to this latest one.
 
Some more info for you. A short while ago I hit the new posts and got the wait 5 seconds between search message with a wait time of 2 seconds. SO I just started hammering the new posts button to see what would happen. The wait time rose with each click up to a time of 25 seconds and then started to decrease. As it counted down from 4, to 3, to 2, to 1 I wondered if it would count up or finally give me the new posts. Well after '1' it then gave me the new posts.
 
I'm giving up trying to read posts this morning. This is the sequence I got trying to get "New Posts" to work after spending about 5 minutes reading a post. I waited a minute or more after some of the attempts to get it to display:

Posting is starting to get messed up now.

Go look at the Santa gets gropes thread in Spin Zone. I posted a reply and it it posted it above the first post in the thread. There were some weird errors too.
