Yet another forum bug

Post by Tomi »

This time, the entire thread disappeared!
"Off Topic Polls" -> "How old are you?"
I was posting a reply, but it seems that it didn't get saved properly... hope it doesn't happen again.

Then what is this...?
viewtopic.php?t=311

I think this little bug was because of the forum not responding for people wanting to post for a couple of minutes ago. Both me and Francesco had that problem.
I think it will work fine. The forum probably took a 10-minute break or so (which it could deserve, considering the amount of posts there has been lately).

As mentioned, this is not a phpBB bug, but was caused by a full file-system on the artsoft.org server. phpBB probably saves some temporary data in /var/tmp, and as /var was 100% full, this failed.

I also noticed that the thread Tomi mentioned had disappeared for some time... Even more surprising that it came back again without the need to repair it manually! (I was already preparing for poking around with the last nightly forum backup...)

I think it's a good proof for the robustness of phpBB! Cool stuff... :-)
