Thanks for reporting that, falsealarms! I ran a repair on the database tables used by the galleries, and that seems to have fixed the problem.
I decided to split your post off of the Newbies thread, and I created a new board just for "Bug Reports" like the one you reported. I have set the permissions to allow everyone to post topics here, including Guests and Porcupines. I will be moderating this board, and any posts that are
not bug reports, or germaine to the subject,
will be deleted, and if it happens repeatedly I will block that individual's posting privileges(or Guests, if
that gets abused.)
falsealarms made a perfect bug report post, too. If you are going to report a glitch, I need as much information as possible to find the error and fix it as quickly a possible. The two things that all of you can do to help speed the fix is:
- Be brief but specific in your subject line. Don't just post something like "Help! I've got a problem!" Enter something like "Database error is crashing galleries" (the subject of this thread.)
- Include any error messages in our post. falsealrms post allowed me to track down the problem right away, and the problem was fied within 5 minutes of my seeing the post. Any details about what you were doing, or trying to do, when the error occured, wil likewise elp me re-create the problem and find the solution.
I am setting the board to send me a notice whenever a post is made here, and I will try to respond to them as quickly as possible. (I check my email several times a day, usually.) I will always try to povide
Super Soivace! (and you know what
that means!)
