Duplicate Digest messages

[Ben Chiu]

It's been brought to my attention that Forum Digest messages are sometimes sent a couple of times.

Is anyone else getting dupes? If so, how often (every message or only once in a while)?

Thank you for your help tracking down this issue.

I do Ben.

Yep. I do Ben . Occasionally-approx. every 4th post.

Thanks, guys. I apologize for the problem.

I added some code to the mod that was missing from the bug fix and changed the server we use for Digests from San Francisco to one in Washington state. For some reason we've had problems with servers based in San Francisco over the years and just from some informal testing the server in Washington is more consistent. Beats me why. You'd think being physically closer would be better, but the numbers don't lie.

Let's see if these fix the dupe problem.

Please let me know if you still see dupes and we'll look deeper into how to fix it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the note, Andy.

How long have you been getting duplicates? Was it only one message duplicated or have you been getting dupes for a while?

I started up the logs again and don't see dupes being sent out now, but that doesn't mean you didn't get a dupe before I started the logs up again.

Thanks!

Anyone else getting dupes?

It's been two weeks and I don't see anything in the logs that would indicate dupes are being sent out. I haven't received any more notifications or any other information, so I'm going to call that dupe "just one of those things."
