I am not sure why, but many people found themselves logged out yesterday, and unable to log back in.
If you have a problem logging in, email me at admin@boomantribune.com.
Give me your user name. I will change your password to something simple and email you back telling you what it is. Then once you log in you can change it.
I will look into what caused the problem.
Told you about that coffee mug next to the servers. Silly Booman.
Yeah, we had something like 97 unique visitors at lunchtime EST yesterday, and something like 10 comments.
I couldn’t figure it out. And then traffic died last night after having been very high all day.
I’m still not sure what was going on.
I couldn’t get the whole site to come up (it was probably around 9 or 10pm EDT). I first thought it was yet another round of comcast down-time, but I could get to every other site I wanted to look at, so I’m not sure what it was.
I noticed a similar (but short-lived) problem around 5 pm as well.
thank you. I might ask you more detailed questions later, as my investigation continues.
FWIW,
I’m set to log on automatically whenever clicking the bookmark. When coming home and logging on last pm, the page did not load properly (blogads down the middle and then stops). This has happened several times before. Usually, just clicking the ‘back’ button will bring up the front page.
Yesterday, when clicking the ‘back’ button I also found myself on the front page, but I had to manually log in. This has not happened before.
Thereafter, no problems. But I also noted how quiet the site was last night.
and of course I was not around last night, so I have no idea what was happening.
I may have been hacked or something.
My tech guy is tucked in his bed for an hour or two more, but we’ll look into it.
I posted a comment at 08:03:43 PM PST and then immediately went to comment on another story when I got frozen out and couldn’t get back in until this morning.
The other times the site has been “down” for me have been around dinnertime EDT this week.
and someone ate my cookie with that coffee, and I had to go through ALL that trouble to log back in…but at least it worked…think I’ll go take a nap now…;-)
Dumb question: How do you change the ratings box so 4s are at the top? I’ve probably been staring right at it in my preference pages or in the BT/DK FAQs, but I just don’t see it. Thanks.
