Not even sure if this thread is getting posted…

At sometime between 08:45 and 09:10, Japan Standard Time (UTC+9), I stopped getting any updates on the SDMB at all. I recieved a PM at 8:45 that is constantly listed as unread. Replying to it _appears_ to be successful, at least, it is not met with any errors. However, the sent message does not appear in the Sent Messages folder. Also, while I can navigate the SDMB without trouble, I have not been able to see any messages since posted.

Ah-ha! Now I see a few pop up from 08:46. Notifications are still borked and my sent message still doesn’t exist. What’s with the latency? More database problems?

Definitely slow updates… While I can directly enter this thread using the appropriate URL… It does not appear on the thread list for ATMB…
