Dots MIA Again

[Alexander Kilcoyne]

Hi guys, seems the dots by topics have disappeared again, any insights? Happening to anyone else?

[Are]

Yes, it has happened to me too.

[Alexander Kilcoyne]

A couple have re-appeared when I post on the topics with my non-default aliases, but not all of them. Not seeing much of a pattern.

Dots and x new posts and the slightly lighter blue of read threads all went mia....

ps. Let me re-iterate my plea to have a "mark everything read in this forum" button and "read threads <> light blue but some other color" request. Please.

The dots servers rebooted themselves last night. Rebuilding now.

Spoiler:

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Are you sure they are not being held hostage in the Discovery Channel building?

Gary, I don't know if this helps any, but I am showing one anomalous dot. On my PbP here. I don't know why, and I have no other dots on any other threads I have posted on. Thought this might be a clue or something.

The dots system rebuilds itself over time. It'll probably take another day or two for most of the dots to reappear.

Gotcha (teach me to post before reading =P)

Maybe there needs to be a sticky somewhere that says "The DOT and X New server is rebooted occasionally causing them to disappear for a short time. This is a feature, not a problem and as such does not need to be reported every time they disappear."

Hehe. I like you, you're optimistic about people reading before posting. :-)

The dots are gone? Aaah! Is it permanent? What caused this?

I try to be, or there could be a little note that is triggered when it happens that shows up where the "Paizo Offices will be closed" note comes up... again optimistic I know.

I would respectfully disagree. I don't think this happens so very often that we need stickies for it. And I personally very much appreciate that Gary is willing to jump on the boards on those occasions when something like this occurs to keep us in the loop on what's going on with our favorite website!

Dot dot da dot.

Had no Dots for over a week now...
