The investigation into internal server errors is still ongoing, I think it is basically down to the libraries that are used to talk to the database server, but pinning it down is proving ‘interesting’.
I’ve also had some comments that notifications are taking a while to be delivered on occasions. I have looked into this and on all occasions it has been Hotmail or Yahoo returning a ‘I am too busy try again later’ response.
Hi everyone, I've created a new discussion group for the Future of DearDiary.Net on Facebook. Given that most people couldn't figure out Google Groups too easily, and just about everyone has a Facebook account, I figured I might as well utilise their technology instead 🙂 So please visit http://www.facebook.com/groups/ddfuture/ and we can begin discussing…
Someone wrote to me somewhere, but I can’t find the message now so I apologise for not having responded directly. However, the message indicated that the migration system was broken, because users were being told that their username already existed on the new system when in fact it did not. This was due to a…
Is back… It uses a distributed system to perform the queries, so there may be times when the search system is down even though the rest of the site is functioning perfectly. That should get less and less as we bring more servers online (presently there’s only one :)). But after much swearing and hacking,…
I don’t normally use this diary to appeal for personal assistance, because generally it’s not appropriate, but I am making an exception this time because my personal diary doesn’t get the readership that this one does. A very good friend of mine (and Rose’s best friend) Selena is in the intensive care unit after she…

Otherwise I either have to answer your question publicly and bore the…
I've received reports that DD is not responding properly on a number of occasions, with people seeing 404 errors, Internal Server Errors and occasionally a white screen that says simply 'test'. I've been unable to reproduce these things here – that's not to say they don't exist, just that the conditions are not right for…

Except me, I use AOL as my primary e-mail purely because hotmail is so faulty with a lot of automatic mailings.. I only just got a notify for a comment on a a dec 10th entry that was actually left on dec 11th (CatControlled), and it’s the first comment left yet I got the 2nd dec 11th comment notify (LyteWyng).. Bizarre!
I haven’t run into many of the internal service errors, but it appears that if you click the "refresh" button on the browser, said error will correct itself.
A stopgap until you get things cleared up. (And thanks once more for your hard work!)
Hugs,
Anitra
