@Andres: I had to "blue button it" to get back on also. Will this be the norm now?

I'm still figuring out the new DNS service we are using. In reality, they're not supposed to show that error page with the blue button when the site goes down, they're supposed to show you a cached version of the site so it still gives you *something* to look at until the server goes back up. But for some reason, that doesn't seem to be happening, so I've contacted the DNS service to see if they can figure out why. In the meantime, if the site does go down and you see that error page, just keep hitting that blue button until it works.

All that said, I don't expect the site to be going down very often as we're using best-in-class service providers, but we have had an unusual string of down time these past few weeks that has concerned me, so I'm keeping an eye out to see if this pattern continues to determine whether we need to change any service provider.

@Andres: thanks for the heads up.

OK, scratch that, now I see what you mean as it just happened to me. When posts are quoted, they include the Post ID of the quoted post. Since we have recently surpassed 100,000 posts, the Post ID's of new posts are 6 digits long, so when they get quoted, the Post ID is getting automatically removed by the filter I set up, which obviously isn't good.

As a quick fix, I just changed the filter so it only affects 7 consecutive digits or more, which will buy us some time until we get to a million posts. But hopefully I'll have a better solution before then! :)

This also just made me realize: we've reached 100,000 posts in the Forums! Congrats, folks!

Woohoo!

umm Andres? whats "warning: post flood check" means?

It means you made a post too soon after your last one (usually just a few seconds later). This usually happens when you accidentally re-post your last post.

there are times am experiencing that. then when i refresh the page my first post doesnt show up.
