Bizarre bug when posting


Recommended Posts

kic-post-bug_zpsfb0576f8.png

If you look at the timestamps and post content carefully, you'll see that when I submitted the post at the top of the screenshot, the JavaScript/Ajax engine that submits and displays it without reloading the page somehow managed to insert the post above two earlier ones, including the one I was quoting. I have no clue why it did this. When I reloaded the page, the post was in the correct place.

EDIT: It just happened to me again; this time it was inserted above 15 other posts. Firefox 22.0 on Windows 8, if it matters. Others have seen the same issue.

The whole site is buggy. I really do think there's too many posts/accounts to handle. I can't wait 'till the season dies down and the announcement has been made, because this is just getting too much. There's also been a lot of times where the site just doesn't load at all - happened to me about three times today!

This is probably a timing problem, with responses to the XHR requests coming back in the wrong order. It's not very serious.. though I suppose it could cause you to miss reading a post.

It's likely related to the occasional site slowdowns that have been occurring recently, which are themselves almost certainly caused by the database (mysql) server. One of the other websites on the same server could be running an application that overloads it.
