I'm not sure what happened. I did not deliberately turn off comments when I posted Julie's latest story, but there doesn't seem to be any way to change that when I put the story in Edit mode.
I was wondering why I received a few comments in PMs and there were no comments posted for everyone to see -- very strange for a JulieO story!
Erin, can you help?

Working on it
For no reason I've been able to determine yet, comments have been turned off on new posts all day. I've been gone most of the day, seeing the doctor and running errands. Just got back and I've turned comments back on for things they were off on.
Oh, and the site went down with some sort of database glitch for about half an hour too. Fixed that, too.
Hugs,

Wysiwyg editor plus big file equal bad
It appears that the wysiwyg editor cannot reliably handle story files bigger than 64k. Julie O's story was 222K which apparently caused a data overflow error, eventually crashing the database which shut the site down for half an hour.
I've turned off the wysiwyg editor for now until I figure out if I can fix it. Problem with it is that it's written in javascript which means that it runs in part in the browser, not just on the server. I have to figure out which part is corrupting the data, the server-side code or the client(browser)-side?

WYSIWYG & crashes
I've used the WYSIWYG editor on every story I've ever posted here, and none has been anywhere near as short as 64K. The story was posted yesterday and had well over 700 reads before the DB crashed.
Ironically, the exact moment of the crash seems to have been when I posted this blog entry -- I thought it hadn't gone through because the site went dead before I got a page refresh.

Hung
From the logs, I can see that the database engine hung hours ago and did not finally crash until two copies of this post were loaded. It failed to record those in the log correctly, apparently trapped in the buffer, unable to write to the db.
It's possible that it isn't the wysiwyg editor but that's the culprit that looks guiltiest. The other possibility is just an internet glitch while the software engine was running slowly for some reason.
Still looking.

Good to hear!
Wow, amazing what happens when you step away for a minute or two, huh Erin? I'm glad things are back up and running. I was surprised at the non-comment posting of Julie O's story, and I'm glad that's been changed? Corrected? Re-engineered? Whatever the correct term is!
Thanks all!
