There are some other weird things happening with the site.  When I was reading this thread, I happened to look up at the top of the page and it said "Welcome, Transition, you last logged in today at 5:16 AM".

I am not Transition, I am Lando.  I logged out and logged back in as me, how did I ever get logged in as Transition?

This would be my dream come true. Can you imagine what i could do having Admin powers? Can you imagine how annoying i could be if i had full control of the site? For a start i could annoy Karlos even more than i do now...

@Karlos. Exactly who are those people lurking about here without logging in? I've always wondered about this. Are they the same 100 or so people or are they different all the time? Some stats would be good.

Except you couldn't, because all you were getting was a copy of a page with his name on it.

Anyway, time for take #2...

@Karlos

As long as you are coding new bugs into the site, could you reimplement the "possession"  bug so that I can become Piru? :D

I never got to be him.  I feel so left out. :D

Well, you just missed your chance earlier. Except you'd not necessarily assume any of his powers :(

Right, we are at iteration #2 of this crazy scheme. Hopefully you'll all still be yourselves for the next 15 mins or I'm abandoning it for now :lol:

Damnit, I was rather looking forward to logging in and being someone else.

I had some proper havok planned. :(

If I can't become Piru and assume his powers of PFS3 Megacoding Excellence then maybe you could just let me become Franko and assume his powers of Frankohol-induced hilariousness :D

Well, this concludes testing for now. I'm going to turn off the cache mechanism for now and pick it up again when I can monitor it for a while :)

Thanks for all the hard work Karlos.  We know you are getting things done and we appreciate it!
 
But I feel a bit left out.

Notice

The cache is activated again for a third round of testing after last night. If you aren't logged in, don't be surprised when pages don't seem to update or if visiting a thread that on the main page claims has no new posts suddenly has a bunch - it's all down to when the cached version of a given page was saved. The cache is "dumb" for a reason - tying to invalidate cached pages on the basis that a linked page changed would require code that would defeat the entire point of trying to reduce server load.

If, when you log in, something isn't right, then please flag it up.

Only the main index, forum index and thread displays have any caching.

@Karlos

Thanks for the update.  I tried logging in about 10 minutes ago and sat there forever.  Tried again and logged in OK.  About 15 minutes ago I tried viewing the "classic" version of the site with IBrowse and received gibbrish in this thread.

Anyways, thanks for your efforts to improve access.  Using OWB right now at the main website.

Well ... that was interesting.  I submitted my last post and sat at 228KB / 228KB for about three minutes before the rest of the webpage finished downloading to my machine.

I wonder if the gibberish was gz compressed content. The proxy should be telling the site not to accept this content encoding type - the cache has been written to serve both kinds of data (though it is always stored compressed).

Amusingly enough, I had serious delays just now, but my other "incognito" guest session was perfectly fast :)
