bugs

The two I bolded just returned today, they affect almost all my posts

I had one at 2:15 PM EST

I actually get those errors a few times a day still.  I just got the red error message after I tried to post in the Shred Room just now.

I've made some research and I point out that the databases backup (6 times a day) create some bottlenecks on the hard disk and timeouts occurs .

A new bug, not really relevant, but really bizarre:

When I went to TOP 100 list and wanted to create a new customized list, I picked Crossover Prog...

...and clicked 'Submit'.




So far so good. The list gets generated, but when I scroll up to pick another sub-genre, I noticed multiple genres were selected:




Similar thing happened when I picked Prog Folk: it selected Prog Folk and RIO/Avant Prog.
When I picked Symphonic Prog, it highlighted Symphonic Prog, Tech/Extreme, Eclectic, Post Metal and Heavy Prog.

The other genres are fine. It doesn't work the other way around (selecting Avant won't select Folk).


It's not much of an issue, because the chart itself is okay, it will display only one genre regardless of multiple highlights. It's just confusing and bizarre.

I wasn't checking behaviour with different parameters (year,country, recording type, number of ratings), because there are more than 6,4 x 10^868 combinations.

^ That is similar to a bug that I get regularly from my first day on the PA forums. When I come back to PA after a day, there are around 5 or 6 pages of active threads (which I get by clicking on New Posts). Sometimes, after I check the threads from the first page of the first pages, when I click to go on the next page of active threads, my cookies are lost and everything appears as read, and I am only shown the last active threads from my last visit which apparently was 20 minutes ago. This is the thing I hate most about PA forums. 

The one I get periodically is a popup that says something to the effect that the form contained corrupted data. But only on quick reply. What is weird is that sometimes it has already accepted the post and sometimes not. Then it accuses me of spamming.  Minor inconvenience.

I was only left with the scare.

Same for me during last few days

I'm always logged in.
