System problems
« on: March 30, 2019, 05:26:45 PM »
Players on the lexigame site may have noticed a recent period of a few hours when the scoreboard remained blank. This was caused by a problem with the database which also created some inconsistencies between the data on the two Chihuahua sites.

The inconsistencies in the daily puzzles have now been largely fixed up, but there are still some differences between the two sites in "Your Puzzles". Apologies for any confusion.

There remains a risk of some oddities affecting daily puzzles for the 1st and 2nd of April. To avoid any such risks you can click on the Reset button (below the Forum Latest box).

When I pressed Reset, Chinwag disappeared...

Possibly just a coincidence, yelnats. Chinwag occasionally disappears - I don't know why. Usually you can get it back by switching to a different puzzle and back again.

We (davmar and cmh} can't get Lexigame only Puzzle. We normally use Lexigame. Yesterday I saw Bintja (spelling?) again briefly then everything disappeared. Tried again this morning on both our laptops and no joy with Lexigame even after reset. Tried both Alt site and going in via google.

It's bitninja, cmh. If that's the cause of your problems, it usually clears itself after a day or so. One thing that might correct the problem right away is to turn your modem off and on.

No joy with turning it on and off again! I'll wait a couple of days and see if Lexigame comes back again!

Not a biggy, but I no longer get the NEW label for the 'Forum Latest'. Even tried refreshing the entire page without success.

Think I can help with that one as I lose it a lot after my computer security stuff does a re boot or whatever. Check the top left of the page on forum and I think you will find you are no longer logged in as a member.

That's been intermittent for me for a long time now.

Nope. I can use another tab to click on the Forum and I'm still logged in.

Sorry. That was my only idea!  Over to the computer experts!

I'm having similar problems ... no notification of new Forum posts! Not vastly important in the grand scheme of things but it would be nice to have notifications back again, if possible.  I don't ask for much  .....

I wonder if it is a specific equipment or operating system problem. 

We have an iPad and an iPad mini using IOS 12 and a windows 10 laptop and are getting the notification on all of them on both lexigame and chihuahua-puzzle  websites. 

What equipment and operating systems are those people having problems using?
Regards, Jack

Yes, it could also be the browser.  We use Safari on the iPads and Mozilla Firefox on the laptop.
