Weird Group Settings?

Weird Group Settings?

Hey mods ... I think there might be some sort of glitchy site problem going on.

I'm a player in a game where, just recently, it turns out that I cannot see any of the threads.  I thought maybe the game owner was doing some housekeeping by rearranging which players could see which threads ... but then when I checked a game that I run, I had a PM waiting for me from a player who let me know the exact same thing had happened to them (that they could not see any threads of the game).

For the game that I run, everything 'looks' right.  That is, I can see all of the game threads threads and the groups are still numbered correctly.  On the Game Management page, my players look like they should still have access to those groups that disappeared from view.

I haven't changed any settings recently, and it's probably not a coincidence since this happened across two different games.

Did something site-wide happen?

^^ Figured a public post was more appropriate than a PM to the mods.  In case there is something site wide going on ... that way you don't have to have the same conversation with each game owner who runs into the same thing.

Looks like whatever is happening, it's happening only on the r.rpol side of the house.

It's also selective.

I have games as a player that are fine, and some that are completely empty.

Edit: Clarification: Group U threads are fine.  Everything else is gone.  That's what I get for just quickly glancing through everything.

And because the site support around here is capital 'A' Awesome ... the problem has been fixed.

Problem was looked into within about 15 minutes ... and it was fixed before an hour had gone by.

Thanks, Jase.

Was that you I just got an email about?  Aww thanks.

Yeah I broke stuff.  Issue was caused by an update I did (for the responsive site) as mentioned in link to a message in another game and the issue was quickly reported in link to a message in another game.  Basically a group membership check for non-GMs always returning not-a-member so you got a blank list.
