Does the dutch forum have some kind of gravity?

Post by Hackwar » Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:20 pm

Hi folks,
could it be, that the dutch forum has some kind of virtual gravity? In the last days, a lot of times I clicked on the security & performance or on this forum, I ended up with the dutch. Allthough I like those people (made my vacations there several times ;) ), I somehow fear they will overtake the whole forum.  :o And I read a thread from one guy that had similar problems. I just wanted to look up the nick, but now even after a few reloads and clicks on the links in the forum, I allways land in the installation forum of the dutch. THEY ARE SPREADING!! BEWARE!!

P.S.: I hope nobody takes this to serious....
god doesn't play dice with the universe. not after that drunken night with the devil where he lost classical mechanics in a game of craps.

Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves.

Hackwar,

Yes! The Dutch are most definitely up to something. Their forum keeps swallowing threads and moving things around.

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg238570

I recently posted a new thread here in 'Site Feedback' but it ended up in The Netherlands (sort of). After refreshing the page a few times it showed up where it belonged in the 'Feedback' section.

And before you ask, no I have not been drinking. :)

Yeah, It happened to me too, I even took screenshots to prove my point,

But alas no responce,

Joomla Sites Feedback took me to the Installatie (Installation) forum,

OMG The dutch are taking over Joomla! :'(



P.S. No harm meant  :D

There is a reason for this, but not much we can do about it.. the php cache we have running on this server - APC seems to cause this issue, that being said.. a few refreshes seems to sort it out...

We get a HUGE amount of traffic to this server, and without the php cache, we would have no hope in running things like the forum on the server.

Hopefully, a APC upgrade/fix in the future may solve the issue.

In the short term, blame the boys and girls wearing the orange pants. Image  :laugh: Image

(Thanks Brad for the explanation.)
