  MissScarlett: No sign of User: Phony Benoni in five days. Can we fix this?

<MissScarlett> heh... yes that's well said.

I just got up a few hours ago and I have yet to see an error message. Every cg.com link I navigate to for the last few hours has opened instantly with no delays and no error warnings.

If you have done it cg.com techs then you have really come through for everyone eh.

<MissScarlett> are you proposing a road trip? Detroit is nice this time of year, but possibly give <Phony> a ring before you set out with the mule train eh.

  jessicafischerqueen:

hmm I checked every link I usually go to except my own profile, which I just discovered is the only link that still shows the error warning. Takes around 3-4 tries to get through to my own profile. Every other page at cg.com opens instantly with no error warning.

Stupid poetic justice... Doh!

Jun-16-22  George Wallace: Here and there the pages load normally, but most of the time I have to reload many times.

Has it been two weeks like this now?

  MissScarlett: <<MissScarlett> are you proposing a road trip?>

Well, not across the Atlantic. But where are you in Canada? The road distance from Vancouver, for instance, to Detroit is, apparently, 4001 km.

Jun-16-22  Messiah: Thank you for DESTROYING the bookie contest.
Jun-16-22  Z free or die: Not much use in complaining here about the timeouts for the forseeable nearterm.

We've entered a new normal for the website.

Here's my technique for currently dealing with the ill behavior -

• If an <ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE> is received then wait for 10-30 seconds for the page to be delivered after a refresh.

• Only if the page doesn't get delivered after a couple of refreshes (which you can see on chrome) go back in the browser to the previous page and try again.

This almost always works.

• Note - some care much be taken if posting to get past the preview screen to see if the post is actually processed. You want to see the page after the <Post Kibitzing> (i.e. the "redirect" screen).

A nusance and, let's say, unprofessional, sure, but easy to work around, with a little patience.

Jun-16-22  Z free or die: <<Missy> No sign of User: Phony Benoni in five days. Can we fix this?>

Weren't you just proposing a <Auld Lang Syne> page for <Count Wedgemore>?

You've already created a <Lost Match> page for Staunton--Morphy, maybe you can also create a <Lost Souls> page for various <CG> members.

PS- Phony already has a "fake" obit dedicated to him!

Well, you've come to the right place then!

Jun-16-22  Messiah: I am starting a new column here, the Complaint Of The Day.

Complaint #1, 2022-06-16: The site omits a loud and clear stand up as LGBTQI+ allies.

<MissScarlett>

I should be pleased to walk 4000km to see <Phony Benoni>, but one always hopes in these cases he'll be in a good mood...

I'm sure he will be back soon to resume chess interests eh.

  MissScarlett: <PB> maintains the <GOTD> lists, so I've been keeping a record for his benefit these last few days. Chess history abhors a vacuum!

Jun-16-22  George Wallace: Looks like I can't access the Rogoff page at all on my Iphone with either the Safari or Chrome browsers. I reloaded the page stubbornly maybe 10 times and nada. I gave up.

I'm on the laptop now and I can't access the page here either.

<Susan>, why is it just the Rogoff page?

Jun-16-22
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen:

<MissScarlett> I didn't know that eh. Good for <Phony Benoni>, as if he hasn't done enough already for the last 30 years here.

I have an idea that might help though. Offer him a knee trembler if he agrees to come back today and resume GOTD duties?

  perfidious: It is regrettable that one's poster's obsession with matters which are between adults has been allowed to infest this page; Rogoff is quite enough of a playground for those, ah efforts.

  jessicafischerqueen:

<perfidious> who do you mean? I have 90% of the members on ignore, including myself, so it could be just about anyone amirite...

Are you talking about these "adult movies" I've been hearing about?

  Susan Freeman: <George > I would like to say it was planned that way, but it is still a random mishap. I can get on if I wait 5 seconds or reload. Not excusing this mess. Just offering help until It is fixed.

  Susan Freeman: The tournament will be up. No matches today. I nagged at 06:45
Jun-17-22  George Wallace: Not me. I'm on Chrome and it just reloads and fails over and over again, giving me this message:

"This page isn’t workingwww.chessgames.com didn’t send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONS"

I wait 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds and it doesn't matter. It just won't load up the page (Rogoff).

I was able to load and post on Firefox though, although I had to play the reload game a few times.

On Chrome, from my laptop, the Rogoff won't load at all even after 5 attempts.
