Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish

"Antisemite used to be someone who didn't like Jews
now it's someone who Jews don't like"

Heard from Margaret Kimberley

@ggersh
most of the day yesterday to no avail. I think I've found the bug now though.

Thanks g.

Might be a good idea to show JtC how much we appreciate his work and this site. I've got my gift winging its way to him as I write, and hope those of you able to help will consider doing the same!

It looks like the Thumbs Up feature was causing the glitch. It's currently disabled. I'll get it working again as soon as possible.

Thanks folks.

At least on my end. Who needs a thumbs up (unless you're a gladiator)?

Thanks again!

although my thumbs up did come in handy back in the late 60s during my hitchhiking days.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

I thought it was my system. Checked ping, kind of high but the same was true of other sites.
Rebooted route. rebooted cable modem. tried another PC. Concluded it must be your server.

Did you change your html code? BTW, are you using javascript, php or something else?
Just starting to learn about web development, myself. My professional work was on embedded systems. Although sometimes they had a web interface, someone else, an expert, always did that part. My part was overall design, control algorithms, and non-web implementation.
BTW: I would not have committed the 737 MAX atrocity. However, I would not accept $9 an hour pay either. That's equivalent to less than the 85 cents an hour I made in High School as a yard boy loading lumber and roofing into pickup trucks.

I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.

@The Voice In the Wilderness
It was a database issue.

Did you change your html code?

PHP, CSS, and javascript.

a note that she experiences strong headwinds from the Western front with heavy pushbacks against all the downward turned thumbs.

Oh, captain, my captain, the dead poets of this deeply appreciated blog have turned all their thumbs up and revived the captain.

@Dr. John Carpenter from emails from sites that I've been subscribed to after they've become Impeachment and/or Russia Russia! mongers.
When I fill out the box on why I'm unsubscribing I now tell them all "The Russians made me do this".

Sorry about that. The Thumbs Up count will tally going forward however.

@aliasalias
I suspect that it can be pretty tough to get a full snapshot on a live site, but I also noticed a number of comments and articles with zeroed-out counts. Several I know which I upfisted earlier in the day before noticing any issues on the site.
EDIT: On checking I see that all count history has been cleared in fixing the bug. C'est la vie! I appreciate your locating and squashing the bug so quickly @JtC. Your site commenting system is the best of any I visit regularly.

I don't think there's too much question about what's wrong. Somebody is working from afar...
