Trolling4Dollars's Journal: Feh! /. ate my last journal entry

STUPID FUCKING /. FUCKED ME OVER. I posted a particularly well written JE earlier today that I worked on for a good hour and a half. Well, I clicked the submit button and it APPEARED to work. But it didn't because when I checked back later, it WASN'T HERE!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!! If I ever get inspired to rewrite the whole thing over again, you might see it. But for now, this is a big FUCK YOU to the problems I've been having with /. as of late. Have you folks been noticing difficulties in posting to /. lately?

Yeah, it's been bad for a few days here. It's been oscillating between a bearable level of usability, and a complete mess. Timouts, hangs, lost posts, all sorts of things. Sorry to hear that you lost a JE. I feel your pain, man.

Preach it, brother

Hell yes, I've had all kinds of problems since day before yesterday -- any Perl-driven pages are only intermittently reachable, otherwise I get a "no data" error message from my browser. I've lost a few JEs and posts as well.

Looks to me like their Perl install is fuXX0r3d. (Naw, ya think?)

Normally I'm not one to whine about /., and I'm a pretty patient fellow...but shit, this is just ridiculous. Somebody fscked up...and bad.

Cheers,

Same issues -- problems getting pages to load, messages not deleting... spumoni fettucini e-mailed me telling me he was unable to log on at all. I don't know the the technical mumbo jumbo -- just that somethin's busted.

....Bethanie....

Same thing happened to me

Spent a bunch of time reseaching a Journal Entry, and posted it. Checked back later and found it wasn't there.

In retrospect, it was a dumb idea and I'm glad it wasn't 'saved'. I have taken to typing up my JEs or Story Submissions in Notepad, or TextEdit (on my new mac - w00t :) ever since I wrote an incredibly lengthly missive, and /. timed out. ARRR!

Firebird saves the text in text areas - that's one reason I killed IE (tabbed browsing too.) /. has seemed retarded lately, though. If I write somethin
