I changed the gallery pages so that they now update at 5 minute intervals regardless of the number of views. This should work better on the tag-order combinations that get less views.
But now, whenever I click on 'Images', I get THIS:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /images on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.girlswithmuscle.com Port 80
Actually, you were right before with your bug report. There was, in fact, a bug that caused the gallery pages not to update at all. I fixed it and it now works like I described above.
Yep, that's exactly what happened ... I actually revisited the site several hours later (rather than simply flipped back to that page during a single visit), and my comment hadn't appeared so, thinking I'd maybe forgotten to hit 'submit' after composing the comment, I reposted it ... and then saw both versions appear simultaneously. Feel free to delete one of them, because they don't both need to be there.
Back to my original point -- your reprogramming may indeed improve one kind of efficiency (being a technonebbish, I'm happy to take your word for it), but it makes the site WAY less user-friendly. F'rinstance, I was checking the 'Highest rating' configuration, clicked on the first pic (which, according to the gallery page, was rated at 10) and found, on the pic's individual page, that it was actually down to 6.5.
The result is confusing and unsatisfying, not to mention far less fun than it was before. We now have no way of knowing what a pic's REAL rating is without actually clicking on it, and when we do we find that it is, almost invariably, other than what we're told on the gallery page, and that the 'Highest rating' gallery page doesn't come anywhere near to representing the ACTUAL rating order.
As a fan of the site who spends WAY more time here than he should, I'd urge you to reconsider this one.
I saw this pic tonight, where Chevron posted a comment and then posted a very similar comment a few hours later. Sounds like Chev didn't see the first comment appear.
Fair enough -- but the immediacy of the interactivity was a major part of the appeal of the site, and the delay in seeing the effect of your participation reduces that. There's also a lag in seeing a comment appear -- I can't be the only person who's reposted a comment which didn't seem to have taken, only to see it appear twice.
It's actually supposed to be that way with the changes I made last night in order to make the page more efficient.
Here's what happens:
One person views the gallery page. The script runs, and the HTML output (with ratings and the number of comments) is saved in the database. Then, the next 50 people who view that same gallery page with the same tag filters and image ordering gets that first person's HTML output from the database, with old ratings and comment numbers preserved. The upside of this is that it overloads the server a lot less than having the script run for every single person who views a gallery page.
So, in short, the ratings do take effect on the gallery pages, it just takes at most 50 views of any given gallery page for that to happen.
When I've rated an image, the 'new' rating appears on the pic's individual page as usual, but when I return to the gallery pages (ie pages which display the thumbnail images), the old rating still appears and, on the 'highest rating' setting, the rankings are unaffected by the rating change created by my vote.
It started by giving me 500 Internal error or soemthing similar but the site was still working but then it became more and more frequent and eventually the site stopped working entirely now when I try to access it it does nothing for a while than say the server stopped responding
I too had been experiencing this problem intermittently, slowly becoming more frequent and then this morning the site just completely shut down for me, haven't been able to access it all day (only on now through a proxy, which allows me to see the pics but not chat!) Any ideas on what might be causing this and/or what I can do to fix it would be appreciated. It seems a problem unique to me.
There isn't much I can do about this. This happens if the server gets overloaded, but since the host has more than one site running on the same server, I have no way of telling if my site is causing this or if another site is the problem.
Hi Chainer, I've been seeing the server error message below intermittantly over the last couple of days. I've seen it when trying to view a picture, going back to the index pages,etc. I also had it a few times while trying to access the main site this morning. Happened once just now here in the forum as well. I hope it's not a prelude to a meltdown. Take care.

I added several images yesterday to my favorites. It appears a few of them were removed from the site afterwards, which is fine.
However, the system did not remove the references to those removed images from my favorites section and I can't remove those records.
Each removed image record has a rating: 0 with a check box below it. I checked the box and clicked the Remove from Favorites button, but received this error:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/chainer/public_html/myprofile/index.php on line 231
... takes you, more often that not, to the 'Recently Posted' page where the image in question appears, whichever gallery you were actually in before you viewed it. No biggie, but it would be nice if there was an eventual fix ...
And I still miss the small green square which told whether you had or had not already rated an image.
I see what the problem is, and I think I fixed it.
For complicated reasons, you might keep seeing this for a while even with the fix, although you should see drastically less of it starting now. If you see it again, rate the picture first or comment on it, refresh the page, and then the favorite should work for sure.
In many cases, when I try to add an image to my favorites, the "adding..." message stays there and the favorite is not added. Not for all images though. Hasn't someone else experienced this?
He, like me, just sent blank spaces...with SPACEBAR :P It's not exactly a bug... It miss a check to see what was typed..but it's not important i think.

See how you like it now. It should be better.

What browser/operating system are you using? Try clearing your cookies and cache and see if that helps.
Otherwise, I suggest waiting till tomorrow and checking back to see if anything changed.

add favorites very often, so I can't say when it might have started.
