In Q&A, sometimes, reputation point for a solution do not showup. Is there a bug ?
When I post a solution in Q&A, the solution always get recorded without problem (well, when server not busy), but sometimes the reputation points do not showup.
This just happened again 5 hours ago with this solution:
Single quote issue in C# dataset[^]
This happen on a regular basis in the 2-3 first hours on Sundays, it happened 2 times this sunday. Server time, that makes between 6 and 8 AM in France.

How is this not a repost?

If the forum was working like Q&A (updated questions move to top), I would certainly had updated it.
The first post was about the problem happening specifically on Sunday morning on a regular basis for months if not years. I have always suspected some kind of backup secondary effect even id solution is never lost.
For the second, I was surprised to get the same problem on a weekday.

Early Sunday morning is maintenance time, so if something's going to fail it will fail then.
We have retry logic but the maintenance that goes on at 2AM is thorough and painful, and can outlast our retry efforts.
Sorry.

Hi Chris,
Thank for explanation.
Note that when I post solution on early Sunday morning, the solution always succeed, the fail, when it happen is always on reputation points, it looks like the reputation part is particularly weak.

How about adding to the list.
I can think of any number of places one (or more) of them would be ever so expressive.

The elephants are nice, the last one is just a square here. What is it supposed to be?

A sun.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Thanks.
All I needed to see them by myself was to change browser. The Elephants are totally different too

All the other pages I try work OK: lounge, QA, S&A, Sugs'n'Bugs.
But the home page just never completes loading - I tried with Chrome, Firefox, Excrebable Edge, and none of them load.
Strangely, IE loads it OK ...
OK: it's not IE. Firefox loads it as well, provided I sign out (goto lounge, sign out, back to home page and it loads). Sign back in, and the homepage won't load again.

If I log in as the late, lamented Bill The Cat it loads OK - so I suspect it's a "follow system" beta test thing?

Nothing did happen.
When I snap my fingers you will wake up refreshed. Eager for work and Q&A.
And remember, it never happened.

It's an issue with the follow system we're still trying to track down.
Nothing is timing out except the page itself, ie no database calls, redis calls, follow system or other webservice calls. Other pages run fine. It just runs slow and there's zero CPU utilisation which suggests to me we have lock contention. It's been a struggle to try and pinpoint it.
cheers

OK - if it happens again, I'll email you directly so you can gather any info possible while it's occurring if that'll help.
