Taxonomy upgrade extras:
The current server overloads are causing glitches that to some people look like a post has failed to "take", so people are hitting send again and double posting.
Yesterday, Sephrena and I spent a collective hour managing and deleting these extra posts. One person made the same post eleven times. Mostly these are comments but there have been up to four copies of some stories posted also. All told there were over 100 duplicate posts.
Please, if you think your post did not go through, wait 30 seconds, open the BC main page in a new window and see if it actually did show up. If it didn't, you can go back to your original window and repost. This will save us from having to spend time removing the extra postings and will reduce the load on the server, too.
Thanks!
Hugs,
Erin

So I'm not the only one
I posted several copies of the latest chapter of my story, but I did clean up after myself once I discovered it. Sorry!

Guilty as Charged
Yes, I too am guilty, three times over, three times over, three times over.
And here I thought it was just my normal technical ineptness.

what can be done to help with the server overloads
I thought the new server was supposed to be able to handle it. Is the traffic still too much

Read Erin's Hammer Them Down (http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog/11751/hammer-them-down) blog from yesterday. She's had to buy another more powerful server than the one that was implemented a couple of weeks ago.

I saw one double reply to my blog post last night. It looked like a glitch to me, rather than Shelly aka Shalimar trying to educate me about War and Peace.
