Server Upgrade, Search & Alerts Issue ⚠️

[ShadowsPapa]

But win 3.5 made it all better, like win 95, 98, 2000, 2001-6, 7, 8, 8.1, 8.5, 10, 11.

Is anyone noticing?
First its buy, then rent to use, then buy, then rent to use. Another pattern, eh?

Buy the way, I have 5" floppy of Windows 1.

I finally gave up all the rest to a legacy lab my now 40yo son, donated to his alternate High-school in El Centro, CA along with all the 8086-pentiums laptops and desktops in around 2001-2.
Cleaned out half a storage room. He helped them put it all together. Tons and tons of multiple versions of Dos, Win and many applications software that ran on both.

A couple of years ago I tossed out multiple new in the box 486 system boards as well as several video cards, memory chips and boards and other stuff I can't even remember what was in there. The system boards were brand new, Young Micro Systems top of the line boards. I've tossed more boxes of floppies, backup tapes, drives, OS disks, including Quarterdeck stuff than I can recall.
I bet if I dig, I'll find more new in box stuff from way back then, original versions of PCAnywhere, whatever.

@JAY - two times, in two different threads, posts by two different users - there were duplicate posts.
In one case, the user posted, then minutes later, the same post appeared again below his first.
In another, a user posted, I responded, then a duplicate post of the one I responded to appeared under my post.
Fluke, or known thing?

Anyone else observe this?
No, I haven't been drinking (yet) but at 101 degrees, it sounds ok to me.

We had some server issues this morning (6-9am Eastern) which may be the cause. Were these posts made then?

Here is one - then 2 or 3 posts down, 1 hour apart, another one -

I'll see if I can find the other example.

The issues may have started as early as yesterday but we noticed this morning.

Please let me know if you see any going forward. Thanks.

One was me. I hit the button and nothing happened. I hit refresh and that button worked. I hit the post button again and nothing.

You forgot NT ("Nice Try"). I think I'm going back to macOS.

You forgot NT ("Nice Try"). I think I'm going back to macOS.

I was a Mac guy in college, helped friend and his parents convert to Macs when the Linotype came out, then was a early alpha tester for Windows 95, Microsoft MPV and worked for MSN some (second job). Best day of my computer life was when I bailed on Windows and went back to my my Mac roots. No going back for me.

You forgot NT ("Nice Try"). I think I'm going back to macOS.

As a contractor, I set up NT networks for others - including CemenTech and helped a trucking company setup NT networking and a backup system.
I didn't mind it so much, really - not the easiest thing to deal with, but it worked (ok, most of the time)

then was a early alpha tester for Windows 95,

I was a beta (and later alpha) tester for Symantec in those days and helped write a utility to update virus definitions on Symantec's antivirus products. I tested some of the early Norton Utilities in the 90s and a friend, doing the same thing, ended up reverse engineering some of the Windows 95 stuff - next thing I know, he's moving for his new job at Microsoft!

 

[snowbear]

I've had to stick with Win due to work (98 was actually favorite as user but NT better in work environment). Not that I'm retired, I'm really thinking of going back to Mac.

And I haven't had any issues with the upgrade here.

Have a weird issue that started after this server upgrade. Using either Chrome or Firefox with Windows 11, when loading a forum page, background populates immediately but the thread posts sometimes take 2-5 seconds to show up. Does this for every page change.

Other like forums using this same format software does not appear to have the problem. Tried both light and dark style settings in the preferences with same issue. Happens both on my work computer and home computer. Ironically though, no issue with Microsoft Edge browser.

Edit: Checked on the Wrangler forum and it does not have the issue over there, just here.

Works fine in my Linux box. I use CloudFlare for caching and registrar.

No one ever used a T/S 1000, Cyrix 686, or UNISYS 90/60?

 

[ShadowsPapa]

Still seeing double and triple posts here and there, as recently as this afternoon.

Wrangler side works while this side presents this now and then -

Sounds like Jay and crew are very aware.

Yes, sorry everyone, still teething issues from new server. I think we've figured out and addressed the issue now though.
