Yep, sure did. It happens every once in a while.

And it has been a while since the last time. They might have been working on something.

They already have done enough going around the rule of
"If it ain't broke, Don't fix it"
They need so spend a little time taking care of the bald tires
before they start doing the new paint job.

But really what is happing of at least what happened on a site
I was the admin for is the database file would get corrupted
or the system that it ran on died. This is the first long one
for me in some time. Most in the past have only been 5~10 minutes.

EDIT : In the process of posting this I got this nice little error.

it is a much debated subject and just when you think IB gets it right I may get a data base error but a user on the left coast can access the site. Not sure if it is from our end all the time or the provider. Since I am no computer guru I just walk away for a few.


The site is constantly being upgraded as glitches occur so be patient... I agree with Sean, will still have some older issues that need addressed but that is out of my jurisdiction and I am only the messenger.

John,
They are not glitches or bugs.
They are undocumented features

Do you know that the term "Computer Bug" came from the
days when they had a lot of relay switching in the computer
and in one location they would get odd errors. Seems that
somehow some moths I think it was got into the housing looking
for a warm place and they would have to send someone in to DeBug
the system. That is where that terminology came from.


So the way back computers had real bugs in them.

I once took a tour of a computer that you could actually walk inside of.
It covered a square city block and was 2 stories tall.
