Is this the thread for forums coding nightmares or had we been posting them in the quotes thread?

SpiritOfLenin posted:

Every single forum seems to show "0 users browsing" for me. If I click on it, then it shows that people are browsing, but the number doesn't change even as I read over the list of posters. Noticed this in both the new fast food forum and GBS, and a quick check over a few different subforums shows that its the same everywhere.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

Yep. Fun fact - I looked for where that information was computed in the code, and the section that does it it commented out with a note that says "this should really be done in a separate script". I assume that project was successful, since it worked all that time, but I can't for the life of me find that script.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

It's definitely not in the main repo of forums code because none of that code writes to the memcache key that stores the stats for this. I don't even know what machine it's running on and I feel insane. There are a few stats scripts that run this way, including the one that updates "4235 users online" and "10 goldmined threads", but per-forum stats aren't in there. I'm going to have the forums code compute this like before, but it's bizarre to know that there is a script out there that is supposed to do this that I simply cannot find.

It's nice knowing Radium went on to work on the ACA rollout.

Given the immense clusterfuck in Iowa, I'd imagine he was consulting on the Democratic Caucus app as well.

I couldn't parse any of that brogue except the line about haggis, but I did get a kick out of it! (My husband, who also likes Shriekback, started with "what the gently caress are we listening ---", looked over and saw I was on the forums, and just went back to what he was doing.)

Lol my wife got used to GBS.fm for the year or so that I occasionally tuned into that. Random assortment of screamo metal, weird goon-made parody songs full of numbers station recordings and droning, and oh hey a classic Debbie Harry song, ok, and now we're listening to Brahms, and then we're back onto obscure black metal.

By comparison, random youtubes in threads doesn't even warrant a glance.

The handjobs were hetronormative, the family facials were "European". I'm fairly sure the prudes poster was also the same one as the "my extensive time in Europe means I can confirm that Irish and British people would NEVER EVER marry or even associate" so I'm skeptical on their specific level of euthority.
