Captain's Log

I wonder if any future upgrade will include an AI?

A HAL to while away the hours, and send me out to fix the AE35 unit....

Oh Captain, my Captain!

I really like the random pics at the top. I've clicked on quite a few of them - and saw some threads / posts I missed from way back.

The featured thread page is nice too.

Edit: I posted my 'like' for the random pics in the appropriate feedback thread too.

Let's all make notes to ourselves to take our helmets with us whenever we go outside. And maybe make sure the upgrade can't read lips. :eek::p

While on the subject of unpredictable machine behavior... is anyone else getting logged out of VV every now and then? It's not really a problem- I just log in again, much easier than taking a very short spacewalk without a helmet- but I was wondering.

E.T.A.: ads don't bother me. If letting them through will make this site more profitable or less expensive for Indian Summer, that would be cool.

I think Amy was getting logged out, like that.
 
Holy cow, it's a Christmas miracle - Lately I've spent a lot of time trying to get the new "Home" page to work properly, and after some serious hacking, it now seems to behave!

So, veggieviews.com will show the Featured Threads page, whereas forum.veggieviews.com will continue to show the forum main page.

It seems to be a weird browser problem. It happens all the time when I use AOL/IE, but not at all when I use Firefox. :shrug:
I suspect there are two factors at play here: 1) You're probably still on the "dynamic IP" plan with your ISP. 2) AOL/IE doesn't cope too well with dynamic IPs, i.e. it doesn't automatically log you back in to VV whenever your IP address changes.

The forum appears to have been unavailable for a little while with the message "An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later." (Did anyone else see this?)

This did not seem to affect Tapatalk.

So I've disabled a certain feature on the server, and things seem to be back to normal after that.
 
I noticed a lot of "unexpected database error" problems today, and I've just made a change on the server to try and mitigate the problem. (Didn't seem to help though.) It looks like we're getting flooded with Google bots for some reason, and they are eating up all the available database connections.

Edit: I think I found a solution to this! Please let me know if you are still seeing that error message.
