Say what?

Come again?

[Freya]

Now that's fucking weird.

Upside down??

Error in the server timings. My post should be first but because of the occaisional technical glitches the server thinks she posted before me.

Y'what?

I don't think I have ever seen this before. See, every day brings something new at the boards!

 

[Dillinger]

I've seen it - though I can't remember ever seeing it happen on the first post of a thread - she would have to have responded probably in under a minute from when it was posted for this to happen. Usually it happens on later posts - not the first post.

See, now I know I ain't crazy! This has been happening to me all day.

 

[Dillinger]

It happens every now and then - Weird Harold knows the details - but I believe it has something to do with a sync problem between the various servers.

 

[Basia]

Or the server is just being finicky today. When was the last time you took the server out to dinner and a movie, eh, Dill?

 

[Dillinger]

Too long - I didn't think it loved me anymore.

See, that's your whole problem. Maybe the server would like to see Gangs of New York? Take it dancing too. Man, you really need to kiss up now.

There is no three.

There is no two.

There is one. But he's the Gaylord.

Life sucks.

Hmmm. How would you know it happened on later posts? The only way a person could truly know is if they double posted...

Completely wrong. Its easy to know when someone responds to something you posted BUT their response shows up on the thread before the post they were responding to.

OI'm thinking that would be a confusing post enven if I was sober.

For example - if this post showed up before the post I just quoted - Sunstrucks post - then you'd know there was a sync problem.

The syncing problems don't happen non-stop to everyone. Only when the servers are out of sync and the two posters happen to be coming into Lit through different servers and the second post is made soon enough after the first and on the server who's clock is ahead of the other server.

Stop it you're tgving me head poains of aching.

I have never noticed that. I will be attentive and watch for it in the future. Thank you.
