No unread threads? Unpossible!

June 15, 2004 6:29 PM

Something is rotten in the state of ask.metafilter.com. For about a day now, each time I've visited AskMe just after visiting MetaTalk, it has told me that I have no unread threads, but dozens (or hundreds) of unread messages. I imagine that somehow the threads are being marked as read when I visit MetaTalk. Eerie!

I was going to post this as a separate thread, but it's similar enough, and the timespan is the same, that it sounds like it might be related...

AskMe's RSS feed hasn't been updating since yesterday. The newest post listed is from June 14 at 10:50 am PST.

Ah, probably something I screwed up in the move to the new database. I'll fix it up tonight.

Matt, if you 're already looking at this I'm getting the same across the board on an on/off basis. Opening up this morning MeFi said no new anything but MeTa was as normal. Was getting same thing in AskMe yesterday. Cheers.
