Number glitches

Number glitches all over the site have wreaked havok on my ability to win an auction, tell when I can spin next, or keep track of trading item numbers.

Oh? I thought it was just my computers clock. (We got a new one, and its set an hour ahead). Heh, I guess its not only that.
Sorry about your auctions and stuff...

What do you mean by number glitches?

Well, when I am at the auction about to bid, sometimes the numbers telling WHEN the bid ends jumps as I refresh "58 seconds" "143 seconds" "3 seconds" "auction closed". That is just one example. Makes it darn hard to bid.

sounds like it might be that different servers (used for load balancing) are out of sync with each other. that would explain some problems I was having, too.

Cound be an issue with that new gmod_zip thing they're using.

na, this has been around for ages, but its reasonably minor normally (5seconds difference).

That's most likely what it is. This has happened in the past, and while it's not a huge deal, it certainly can be annoying.
The worst part is that some servers will accept bids on auctions after the auction has closed, throwing the whole system, and lots of users, into fits.

That REALLY sucks. The number jumping doesn't seem so prevelent today. Still, the site is a bit sluggish.

I don't know if this is related, but I'm trying to play gormball, and it keeps skipping players, as if I had clicked the button twice. Wierd. And I keep getting error messages.

yeah thats what I mean. A couple days ago when I played pyramids - sometimes I'd click a card, then when it refreshed, instead of playing the card, it would take me back to the start of the game, w/ an error. Then I'd refresh again and be back to normal. Once, I lost a finished game + about 200 np I got from it. I didn't notice anything today though.
It's the neopets time warp!
Probably always slightly there, causing lost weapons, etc. occasionally, it's just been a lot worse while they update all the servers or something. Hope it gets better soon.
