EDIT: AH! it keeps saying "database error: Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator." so admin I think something is wrong...

Post by: Darl181 on November 15, 2011, 06:27:42 pm: It's happening for me too, so it seems to be more than a permission thing or whatever...

Post by: epic7 on November 15, 2011, 06:55:12 pm: It happened to me 4 times. I told anyone, though

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 15, 2011, 06:58:10 pm: Weird, IO had this happen before when deleting polls. I forgot what I did to fix that, though. An admin would have to ask pm SMF support board.

Post by: Deep Toaster on November 15, 2011, 07:12:37 pm: It says something about a database being outdated.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 15, 2011, 10:58:27 pm: Yeha I had this issue with some other forum features before. Once we couldn't even install anymore attachments. Not sure how to update it, though.

Post by: parserp on November 16, 2011, 06:21:01 pm: Gah! Netham you need to fix poll!!!! <insert puppy dog eyes> ;)
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 16, 2011, 06:35:12 pm: Does it happen on every poll? Do you mean we cannot post anymore polls? Or is it just on existing polls?

EDIT: Crap it seems to be with every poll. Why is Netham45 gone? X.x I think one of the mod that was installed conflicts with the poll system...
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: parserp on November 16, 2011, 06:36:06 pm: I think on both, I tried to add poll on a topic, and I got the same error. :(
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: Netham45 on November 17, 2011, 06:26:07 pm: Fix'd. Not quite sure what happened, but the default value for one of the columns in the poll table got wiped.

Post by: parserp on November 17, 2011, 06:26:45 pm: Yay!!! :D
netham is awesome!
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: Darl181 on November 17, 2011, 06:40:12 pm: Yay for working polls :D
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 17, 2011, 09:56:06 pm: Glad it got fixed. Did the value getting wiped cause any data loss, though? (Such as previous poll results/choices/questions)?

Post by: Netham45 on November 18, 2011, 10:03:17 pm: Nope.
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 19, 2011, 02:14:06 pm: Ok that's good. Btw was this what caused Omnimaga to run incredibly slow Thursday night?
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: Netham45 on November 19, 2011, 02:21:43 pm: No. I checked the request log times and it looks like it was running normally to me.
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 19, 2011, 02:22:59 pm: Weird, a lot of people were complaining about slow times. Maybe a low scale DDoS or even DoS attack?
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: Netham45 on November 19, 2011, 02:23:49 pm: It's possible it was a network issue, I don't have logs of network times. What time was it? I've had issues with other people on the same network as me doing intensive backups early in the morning.
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 19, 2011, 02:25:44 pm: For the entire thursday evening. It lasted from 8 ish PM until the next morning when I checked Omni.

I think you should check out with your VPS provider about access from east coast users, because he definitively seems to have chosen a terrible VPS location for access by east coast users, because whenever Omni or your logs run incredibly slow, it's only on the East Coast.

Post by: epic7 on November 19, 2011, 02:56:37 pm: East cost? I noticed it was slow and I'm on the east coast (US). That explains it?
Title: Re: Poll system broken
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 19, 2011, 11:29:13 pm: Not sure, but Netham45's VPS has a long history of giving us slow loading times here on the East Coast. Often Netham45 and a few others will say it loads fine for them, but I notice a lot of the people who are affected by slow loading times (when they happen) are from the East Coast. I'm in Quebec, which is kinda close.

Post by: Scipi on November 19, 2011, 11:37:32 pm: Hmm. I'm on the East Coast and for me it's on and off. Sometimes there's a wait, mostly though it's pretty fast.
