Active Conversations

Suddenly "active conversations" is only showing 12 threads rather than the usual 30ish. Browsing through ACs is how I find stuff that's interesting, this is a bug I hope rather than a vicious plot to make me stop browsing MN when I have insomnia?

Insomnia tonight and AC is behaving itself beautifully. Smile

Thanks, my ACs were multiple too. Didn't count them but heaps and heaps.

Woo hoo there are 100 active conversations and the latest post in the last one in the list was written long before 3:30. I think it's fixed. THANK YOU! Chocolate Flowers

(No insomnia last night but next time I am awake at 4am that's going to make a huge difference)

Hi folks. We've just had another update from Tech. They're still looking into fixing this issue, but for the curious-minded among you, yes, it is resetting itself in the early hours, but should then go back to normal after a short time and show the correct number of threads. Hopefully they'll have it back to normal soon.

Just thought today to check times of the 12 posts in my ACs and Fish, yes, there's a 3.30am-ish cut off.

Hi Fish - we'll see if there's an update from Tech for you.

"Unanswered Messages" is also broken - only a single thread is listed (presumably the only thread that has been started since 3:30) active convos didn't have anything that interested me much given how few threads there were so went there but no joy.

DawnMumsnet is this sufficient info about the pattern in the madness?

(Needless to say the 3:30 thing is also evident tonight. Still on an android phone using Chrome browser)

Fish I think you & I are either the only ones this happens to or the only ones who go "heh?"

My AC is never more than 12 when I log in. Often fewer, like 4. And I even re-activated a couple of topics I had hidden (have most hidden tbh) but it's made no difference.

Oh the joy of being woken for a wet bed incident. 40ish threads visible so it's not too bad. Most recent post on oldest thread in AC is this on at 03:32 today.

Not been insomniac this night but just out of interest checked and the most recent message in the last thread in Active Conversations is this one at 3:37 so definitely seeing a pattern here.

Happening again tonight and again the earliest accessible post is timed just after 3:30 (this thread @3:35) - so are servers timed to reboot and forget the active conversations list at 3:30 every morning mnhq? I'm not insomniac every night so don't know how often this is.

OP posts:
Fiderer · 05/11/2015 07:24

Still happening for me too. Yesterday 4 posts, then later 8, then more.

Today started with 8, then went to 12. Now also more, cba to count.

I wondered if it has anything to do with which topics are hidden because I only have 8 topics in ACs, everything else is hidden.

I still can't use the last HR function reported day ago

Yep it grew to 40 posts and now 49 but it's the same thread at the bottom of the list. So it seems the regrowth is solely from other threads getting re-activated as people find them elsewhere and post to them, or creating news ones.

This is happening again tonight.

Can I just check - I think normally the active conversations list shows 100 threads (not the 30ish I claimed in my OP) and that threads constantly fall off the bottom of the list as other threads become more recently active.

So just recording in the interests of scientific experiment that the latest post in the last thread in the list at the moment is here at 03:37 - my suspicion is that this will stay the last post in the list over the next few hours as the list grows back to normal size, and that whatever is triggering this happened shortly before 03:37.

Browsing on android phone using Chrome browser.

I'm still laptop, desktop, Windows8 & Chrome.

Had 6 on ActivConvos when I went on MN this morning (am always logged in), then 12, then 20-odd.

Thanks for keeping us updated. We're having another word with our Tech team to see what's going on. In the meantime, it really helps to know which devices you're all using, which version of the site, and which browser.

We're hoping there's some pattern to all this madness. Confused

On 9th October it was on an android phone - browsing the website on Chrome.

I haven't seen it since then myself.

Hi all - could we just ask which devices, operating software (iOS/Android) and browsers your using (or the app)?

Is this an issue throughout the day, or just early in the morning?

Thanks all.
