Maybe we should just leave it be. LOL Because lord knows what else might go wrong if we do that.

I wasn't worried about things going wrong. Mostly just that everyone will have lost their favourites for nothing. :/

Yeah, personally I'd rather keep favorites; at least we still get an email to let us know when stories have been updated that way.  Hopefully we don't have a repeat of what happened to Mare's story last night with others, but I'm glad it's up now.

Me.

I think we should clarify and say consistent posting problems? Cause some have a problem, delete and repost and it's all better LOL.

I have more than 20 people for each story.  But I notice that when I post a brand new story and go to post chapter 2, I only have like 5-10 people that favorite it by them and it still doesn't work on the second chapter post.  ::shrugs::

Could this be some weird virus causing all of this?

I think if that were the case, we'd all be infected. But, who knows? lol My guess is there's some kind of glitch in the system.

No, our server is completely overloaded. We have way too many requests happening simultaneously and it crashes the whole thing. The cause is because there are too many reviews, and too many emails being sent out when stories are updated.

So maybe it's a combination of favorites + reviews?  That could be why yours are messing up so early, Jen, even before you have 20 people favoriting them.

Did the site move to a new server after the blackout?

Ohh... any chance of moving to a server with more bandwidth, then?  I know that's more of a question for Ash; is he aware of the glitches?

Okay, pretty sure 20 is the magic number for favorites!  I FINALLY updated Curtain Call for the first time since this has been going on, and sure enough... Fatal MySQL Error, and it's not on the Most Recent page, but the new chapter is there.  It's the only one of my in-progress stories with over 20 people favoriting it, and it's the only one that hasn't posted right.

Another strange thing to note...the updated date didn't change either.  This whole thing is just bizarre!
