Some games won't show..

Sort:

I go to play, click online chess, and my current games pop up... the only problem is that some of these games (some that are waiting for my move!) are 'gone' persay.. I can't find them.

 Not 100% sure what the problem is beyond this... I'm new to the site so maybe I'm missing something obvious but there is also a chance that there's a glitch somewhere... 

Thanks in advance for the help,

Edit - It actually seems that the problem is NOT that some of my games are 'vanishing' but rather that they all say waiting instead of changing to 'my move' regardless of whether it is or not.  That's even more confusing :P

the page should automatically refresh when your opponent moves in a game

if you have more than 10 game you must click on show all game

Not sure either of those are the issue being as even games I have on my first page say 'waiting' when really they are 'my move'.

you are absolutely correct :( it looks like you are waiting in all of your game, but if you click on SHOW ALL GAMES then it shows that you actually have 2 games waiting. i was able to confirm this! i will work on it ASAP!

lol wow erik.. you are right on top of things...

time to start looking at a subscription :P

 oh and thanks. if anything changes I'll post here... I just deleted my cookies to see if it was something on my end but that doesn't seem to be the problem.. maybe a server thing?  I dunno.. thanks anyways.

edit - I'm not the best in terms of web developing but I have noticed one other (probably related) problem... my games page looks as though it's not up to date (ie, a game I just won by resignation on the 34th move is still sitting there as if it's the 14th move..).

 I'm sure this can all be resolved but I am kinda worried about timing out.. I'll log out for the day and come back on tommorow with an update.

Thanks again,

one more edit - If it matters .. I'm running on the latest version of firefox on a windows XP computer with high speed wireless internet (probably irrelevant).

thanks. it has to do with cacheing stuff on the site so that we don't run a dozen queries per page... :) stuff you have to think about when you serve up a million+ pageviews per day...

right.  Okay, everything seems to be working well at the moment...

and yah, this site runs impressively fast... the only chess site I've ever played on nearly as quick would maybe be RHP and I have a bone to pick with them after they banned me unfairly.. the moderation there is rediculous..

Anyways, thankyou very much..

We have 32 GB of RAM dedicated just to our cache, and it still fills up in just a couple days and then we start seeing some of these types of bugs you've explained above. I have spent several weeks of my life solely on this caching problem, but hope to soon have it fixed, possibly within a couple hours! :)
