So far this morning, in the space of about 90 minutes, I've received notification of one question 48 times:

So far this morning, in the space of about 90 minutes, I've received notification of one question 48 times:

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1722824

I've also received notification of this one 11 times:

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1723556

And this one is bringing up the rear with a mere 5 notifications:

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1724600

In the meantime, I'm receiving questions posted this morning 2 hours later than I should.

What's more, when I try and return to the main Kudoz page from a question page, either it tells me that there are no questions in the fields I'm looking for or it returns me to a version of the page which is several hours old.

Is this happening to anyone else? Or is it just me?

And BTW, the figures given above are now hopelessly out-of-date. Make that 59, 18 and 10 notifications . . .

Unfortunately yes, Caryl Jan 17, 2007

... looks like there is something wrong with KudoZ today. When I try to enter the "answer questions" feature, in four cases out of five I receive a nearly blank page with a comment to the effect that "no questions meeting your criteria have been found" (or something like that). Of course, I have made no changes to my criteria recently and, after all, I receive a correct response from the system in ca. 20% of cases. Let's hope this bug (?) will be fixed soon.

Job alert problems Jan 17, 2007

This morning I received a rare job alert in my specialist field (football) an hour and 15 minutes after the job was closed. Not what I paid my membership fee for back in December.

. . . I've received notifications of Agnieszka's and James' replies - but not of yours!

Thank you for the prompt reply

All the best,

Yes - it was the 'criteria' message that I received, too. I just couldn't remember the proper wording - and had no desire whatsoever to go back and make it happen again, just to check the phrase!

And I've received no job notifications at all. I hope that means that there haven't been any . . .

Been working to get systems back up and running from a failure last night Jan 17, 2007

Hi all,

Thanks for pointing out these issues, I've been working since last night to recover from databases problems we experienced before the end of the day yesterday.

You all should no longer be receiving duplicate notifications, but please submit a support ticket if you notice the issue still happening.

And Agnieszka, thanks for pointing out that error! I went ahead and fixed the problem causing the KudoZ list page not to come up properly.

As Leonardo stated, apologies for any inconvenience this has caused anyone, I am working to fix any residual problems stemming from the database issues we were experiencing.

Best regards,

Hi, Justin,

I'm afraid the Kudoz list page is still not coming up properly - well, not for me at any rate. When I try to return to it from a question, I get returned to a version from over 2 hours previously.

However, the dulicate notifications do indeed seem to have stopped.

All the best,
Caryl

Another story Jan 17, 2007

Another story with Kudoz is that upon refreshing the "home page" I frequently see the yesterdays questions on the top (today, I noticed that since those on top were my own questions). I got the same problem from time to time during the last several months.
Regards,
Levan

similar problem Jan 17, 2007

I received around 100 duplicate messages (from the last couple of days) this afternoon, all in one go. Seems to have stopped now.

And they weren't THAT difficult, either

They've definitely stopped coming now, though - to me at any rate. Touch wood and thanks to the staff's efforts.

All the best

Yes, it seems to have calmed down. It was a very busy couple of hours in the mailbox while it lasted.

Have a peaceful end to the day

All the best,
Caryl
