Your concern is definitely a legitimate one. There's no denying that all of the recent issues with training and site delays has been a bane to BB as of late. This may come off as a surprise to some, but these recent problems with the site have been very troubling for the staff. We are just as frustrated with these bugs as anyone is, and probably more so. Now this is the part where I spew out the same repetitive garbage urging everyone to bear with us and please be patient. The fact is, there's not really much more that I can write. You've probably read it over and over again by now, but maximum effort really is being put into trying to solve these issues. A lot of people are under the impression that when training fails to execute properly, the solution is simply for a developer to press one or two buttons, and voilà, problem solved. If only it were that easy. BuzzerBeater has an immense code base that features several schedulers processing different information at all times. When one of these schedulers hits a snag it's not uncommon for the site to experience more than one problem since there's overlap between them. For example, when the economy update on Sunday nights struggles to run properly, you've probably noticed that certain pages are inaccessible. These pages are "locked" until the economy update gets back on track. If this didn't happen, then the problems BB experiences would be multiplied. The code for training to run trumps all other processes (except maybe games), so when it breaks, it's usually the only thing that does break. The thing is, it takes a lot of time for training to complete in all of the countries. Even if the problem with training is caught and corrected quickly, training is still going to take longer than usual to complete because it has to get caught up to the point where it broke, and then continue at a normal pace (hopefully). Also, believe it or not, but each week training has failed to run properly in the past month has been a unique issue each time. It's not the same problem that no one bothers to fix week after week.I'm not sure my explanation here is completely lucid and not all of the information may be accurate, but that's the best way I can describe the current state of affairs as a non-developer. I hope this qualifies as a fair reply to your post. Furthermore, I'm always around to try to answer questions and respond to complaints as long as they're worded appropriately. To All:I know it's hard to stay positive when the site is experiencing continuous problems, but negativity isn't going to help make matters improve.
any delays today?
