I too have had this, but found that it is not consistant.
I think some of the servers treat it differently from others.
Presumably the Hamsters are already aware.

which is why I mention the server ID, unless I forget to do so...

The servers treat this all the same - it's all .NET server side code with no IIS subtleties.
You probably experienced a problem with timeouts. We've been mucking about with new backup strategies and these have been causing extra load.

Frankly I don't think so, I didn't experience significant delays.
I'll try and report more details if and when it happens again.

To convince yourself, take a look at the javascript on the page when rendered from different servers. Unless we've screwed up a deployment sync (which, if we had, would be spewing errors) the javascript is identical.

No no, you misread me. I am not implying it is different on different servers. It was DD who suggested such.
All I'm saying is it happens occasionally, and I documented one mishap on Web24.

I didn't suggest that, I merely pointed out that if you F5 and get a different server the problem tends to disappear.
I have done no forensic investigation as to the cause, merely highlight the empirical evidence of effect.

I have also had this problem recently, mainly on Q&A but also once in the other forums. I will monitor and report back on further occurrences.
It's time for a new signature.

Just had some more of the same:
while composing this[^] message, a foreign link was easily pasted in dual-link format when nothing was selected, and systematically failed to paste-and-replace when the word "here" was typed and selected first. No delays were observed.

When pasting links in quick answers using firefox (version 3.6.9 if it matters) it often skips one or more characters at the end, making the link useless. It happens kind of often and check the links most of the time.
PURPOSE: Delays program execution until designated condition is indicated.

I'm using FF most of the time and never encountered that.
If you want to signal this to the site administrators, it would be better to create a new thread (so they get a notification), rather than appending it to my old thread (causing me to get an e-mail, I can't fix it for you).

Ah, okay. Thanks for the reply.

There seems to be something wrong with editing and versions of a question.
Take a look at this question
http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/104892/Web-site-design-screen-size.aspx[^]
I edited and changed 'dome' to 'done'.
Checked the minor edit and submitted.
Then noticed the small i and edited again to 'I'.
Again checked the minor edit.
But now the question says there are 4 revisions. When checking these revisions I only see 3 (after pressing 'show minor edits') 2 done by the author and only one by me.
Also when comparing the revision 2 and 3 it says that that is the one where the 'dome' got changed to 'done'. In revision 3 the 'i' is still small.
Between revision 1 and 2 it says there are no changes.
So it would seem that the last update isn't being shown yet has been applied.
The final result however show both 'done' and 'I'.

Also, are you getting editing points yet?

Nope
I'm stuck at 165, should be well a little bit more (not much since I do tend to click the minor edit checkbox most of the time )
But it has been confirmed as a bug so I'm sure somewhere in the near future it will be fixed and the points will be recalculated.
Right after those other 300 bugs on the list

Due to rereading Toms. I only changed the Title once and nothing else.

K that explains the fact that there is no difference between revision 1 and 2
But still I edited it twice and only 1 is shown yet both edits are applied.
|
|
|
|

Yeah for some reason it's not showing the latest revision on that page. Thanks for the report. I'll add it to the bug list.

I deselected the filters and saved it. Then, I went back to Q & A. Can't see a question. I have tried Ctrl + F5 but no help. Is it just me or there is something wrong?
|

I noticed something fishy about the filters yesterday too.
When I go MySettings/ContentFiler I see some keywords in "Content I'm interested in" (nothing wrong here, they are what I'd like them to be), and the same set in "Topics to be ignored"; I'm sure I did not enter those. Removing them refreshes the page, reselecting the ContentFilter tag brings the same keywords back, in a different order (not any particular order such as alphabetical, no just a different order). Weird. However, I don't think it affects anything, I can't tell for sure as I am, euh, not fond of Q&A anyway. BTW: my "Use these content filters for keyword searches" checkbox is unchecked.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly same happening for me also. I hope it gets resolved soon.
|
|
|
|
|
Are you still not seeing any questions? We had a short power outage here that may have caused some weirdness on the site.
|
|
|
|

AS the "ignore..." list was basically the same as the "interest" list, I got no questions. As I said earlier, I was unable to clear the "ignore" list in My Settings. However I was able to clear it in the "List Q&A Questions" page and the list is OK now.
Not being able to clear the "ignore" list in My Settings seems like a bug.

Bug has been added.
[edit: obviously we added the bug. But we've also added an entry in our bug tracker]
