Nope: it looks like they have had problems all day with messages not posting properly.
That one Iposted, it appeared on the Lounge, I refreshed it a few minutes later and it was gone - so I put it back.

They also seem to have problems with "points-to-zero" today - yours got killed for about ten minutes about four hours or so ago.

@OriginalGriff can confirm too if he deleted his previous TOTD post as it was not that cryptic enough.

Everyone speaking/looking for riddles and 'cryptic meanings' all of the time is probably why all of the engineers and professionals are over at reddit, ycombinator or stack overflow. I doubt the staff here pays enough attention to the forums to fully comprehend the issue.

Yeah,

I don't have any problem with it. But it's the fifth regular member within the last few weeks I've seen referring to normal looking posts as having 'hidden cryptic meaning'. I'm beginning to wonder if a side effect of having those CCC puzzles in the Lounge are creating an unhealthy environment.

Let me put it another way... I've never been on reddit, ycombinator or other forums where a half dozen regular members are looking for hidden meanings in every forum post.

Maybe it would be better to create a special Puzzle forum instead of having those in the Lounge.

For me saying so, was just because off late, I have been trying to see what CCC is that people like so much (AFAIK, you are one of the VETERANs of it) (and I am really bad at it D'Oh! | :doh:

)

About TOTD, they are mostly not clear to me and I was just pulling OG's leg. $Shucks | :-\$

I am not sure what would be Lounge for, if not these general discussions and threads. I just read what interests me (and respond if I feel like) or else move on.
To me as long as conflicts and debates are not there, it should be good enough.

Hey - how would we feel some connect if we don't pull each others leg once a while. Big Grin | :-D

Issues - rep points, caching

The Lounge is a bit of fun, and definitely populated by those who spend a lot of time here, but our focus is on allowing developers to share expertise and code. We're developers. We live and breath obtuse and irrational puzzles. I'd be a bit concerned if the Lounge suddenly became totally readable to the unwashed masses.

I seem to have lost ~67K rep points, now down to 33.. (growing slowly) .. not much I can do to help fight the spammers etc

Are the cache (Redis) issues again ? or is it my ISP (also possible) .. I'm seeing long lags down here in Australia when I'm on CP

ok, mine's back up to 68.4K, so, I'd suggest breathe and wait

I've upvoted you - that may be enough (It's what OG did to me, points were restored)

I don't know if this is related or not.

I've noticed that, once you've acquired the maximum daily points for an action, such as reporting something for spam, you drop off the "Who's Who at CodeProject" list whenever you perform that action again. But as soon as you get points for some other action, even an upvote, you reappear in that list. This seesaw continues until the next day.

I’ve got a bug in my new background reputation aggregator. I’m working on it. Don’t worry, your points are not lost.

I found it and deployed the updated stored procedure. Your points should clear up shortly.

the Redis client was acting up again.
I've given is a talking to, and it seems to be co-operating now.

(see my post at the top of today's page ... currently in moderation as spam)

Is this the same thing to which all the threads of the past few 12 hour chunks refer perhaps?

Ahhh! There they are. 'Still no newsletter for the week of 08/10/20 though.

Yes, intermittently.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Hamsters are still in play. I got this right now while posting a message in Lounge.

Items that need attention:

There was an error attempting to insert your message.

And now, while posting it here in Bugs/Suggs too. D'Oh! | :doh:

I had broken a stored procedure, which I've now fixed. Sorry about that.
