Closed to new repliesThis discussion is closed. It stays readable, but it takes no new replies.

To be specific, My Contacts, isn't working. First it shows them, then when I try to sort them according to username so that I can easily find someone, I suddenly have no contacts. When I try to go directly to My Contacts using the dropdown box at 'My Account', I have no contacts.

Please fix.
*sigh*

You broke my contacts too!

I went to check my contacts... and there are none!
On the other hand, I can still sort discussions by contacts, so I guess you only broke the listing :p :D

I can't get to My stuff for the last few days. Emailed support and they can't find the problem.

Well this is what I get when i try...it looks all pretty with the white letters in big red boxes...yup, they broke it.

Could not retrieve threads for userId - null

Hey all,
We are aware of the problem, and will have it fixed soon.

It's not a data problem (contacts are not lost) - there is a bug in the front end exposing them. The issue is appearing in several of the profile areas.

Sorry about the downtime.

...we are giving the worst errors ever crafted.

some humorous error messages, "unable to retrieve, system feeling lazy and not inclined to reply"

Ok, perhaps not.

But I just ended up with a messy monitor that was impossible to see though.

Took a lot of Screen Wipes to clean it up to. :(

So much, lassies called him 'The Bull'!

Would y'all ask the PTBs to reactivate my account? :D

You've been a Naughty Little Boy and will now be punished for posting Obscenities on TR.

No posting for a weak. :p

The thing I love is how the Account I'm logged in as constantly changes. I can make several posts with the HAL Account and then suddenly the next one comes out with Smeggies Account for some reason.

OH and the slaps are just so you don't get too complacent I haven't seen any of the Girls around recently Slapping you. ;)

I think Sticky Fingers used to have a good one, although there must be half a dozen joints down around East Bay with pea-can pie.

Me want Cookie... me want pecan pie with ice cream...

Me want pumpkin pie with extra cool whip...

Me want... me hungry

by michael jay

it seems that my stuff and other's stuff that I view has also been fixed so as to see all posts, that feature had been missing before.

You Rock.

by seanferd

And the fix doesn't seem to have broken anything else, so double points for you!

(Unless that is where italics have got to.)

Unable to create this on my side. Are you still seeing this? Does the counter display more than 0?

What is the url?
Like this: .../members/discussions
Or this: .../members/discussions/4233042

If you log out and then log back in does it fix the problem?

by seanferd

That is, the actual list of D/Q&A posts on your page. ("About 1 day" after you updated your post here.)

by golampo

We think it may have been due to caching issues server side. Everyone was having trouble reproducing on our side. Please let us know if you see anything like that happen again.

...but no entries. 'Profile' shows the 4 or 5 most recent, but the link 'show all' returns me to the stripped 'My Stuff' list.......as of 6:52 PM EDT.

@Palmetto: thanks for sending my misplaced interest over here!

by seanferd

Now, mind you, I don't know how any of this works. But what if someone needs to look at the page before the db gets around to coughing up the actual lists? And maybe it takes a day or two for the list to actually finish being processed and show up?

Of course, I don't know how often users reporting the issue look at their Stuff, either.

This just seems a bit like something I've seen before. (Including one site which does something similar on purpose.)

by hal 9000

Does that mean that your Life stops and you have absolutely no contact with any form of Technology?

Col ;)

by seanferd

I haven't seen that for two weeks or so. And it was a long while before that when it happened regularly.

Think of it the way you regard that old family cabin. Sure, you've got to be careful of the rickety steps, and the roof leaks when the rain is particularly heavy, but it still beats hanging out at FacebookWorld Resort.

by hippiekarl

without ever logging out (and My Stuff, of course, remains invisible---had it back for a day, though). You're right about the 'old family cabin'; as you mentioned recently elsewhere, TR has an optimal ratio of topical material to socializing. Not to mention we're a generally better-educated crowd of curmudgeons (or at least think we are) ;)

by michael jay

Logoff, clear all cookies, delete all history and online content, login and try again.

I can see your stuff by going to your profile.

by hippiekarl

got me to log in 4 more times, but still no 'Stuff'. I just had the first paragraph of a 'Q&A Answer' lopped off repeatedly, too (I noted it in a new 'bug discussion').
