First let me apologize for the initial problems of last night and early this morning. Then for having to take down the site completely.
In trying to understand and then fix the problems that started last night, I found a whole rat's nest of bad logic and code. My code and my logic     Then I found that the problems had caused a whole bunch of logical inconsistancies in the 2 of the database which had to be fixed. I couldn't come up with usual "quick & dirty" clean up the DB tricks. Some of the tables are now too large for that. I had to write and debug a program to straighten out the mess.
At this point, I hope all is well but I won't really know for a while.
The fixes will have the site effect that the visits/week will no be more stable. That number is now only computed at 3:00 AM. The wild changes that some people have should now be better, especially after a few more weeks.
Some people may notice that their visits/week are now lower than before. The number showing now is actually correct.
Again, my apologies

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

It is so nice to come home at night, see a computer glitch and know that it's not my A** if I don't fix it yesterday. The up-time and availability of the site is incredible if you ask me.
U Rock dude !

Name: Terrence P. Rielly City: Fayetteville State: NC County: Cumberland Join Date: Dec 2005 Age: 63 Avg Visit Freq/Week = 3.46 over 180 days | Thanks Steve for getting us on track. I was worried I was not wanted anymore as I hadn't posted in a while. I am getting back to myself a little and hope to make my way to the shop sometime this week even if it is just to open the door. Still going to be awhile before I can do any wood working. But have been working on some clock plans. Thanks again Steve for all the care you show for us. Terry

Name: Steve City: Apex State: NC County: Wake Join Date: Jul 2005 Age: 64 Avg Visit Freq/Week = 6.96 over 180 days | Originally Posted by toolman Chad, because I am monitoring the visit/week stuf closely becuase of the bugs that I hope I just fixed, I just looked at your visit records closely. Remember, that only the first visit of a day counts and that each day starts(for calculation puposes) at 8:00PM the evening before. Here is what I found.
Your calculation cycle is currently started on Aug 4, 8:00 PM. You have visited every day EXCEPT:
from aug 15, 8:00 PM to aug 16 8:00PM, you did not visit. That is why your visits/ day are just below 7. If you visit everyday from now on you should see the number getting closer to 7 but not quite there.
I hope that explains it.

Don't you think it's about time you got a raise?
Would it help if DaveO stopped posting
Wish I could be more helpful
Thanks Steve,
