AOTY Down?

Maybe a ton of ppl are posting after GS5. But I can't seem to load my fish?

Help Mods, help!

Looks ok to me.  Maybe you didn't catch any fish.  No pics = No fish!!!

Hmmm OK. Maybe the pic file is too big. Let me give it another shot.

Allen, there is a re-occurring problem with AOTY. Everytime I post up a fish the next page that pops up says in red letters. "Theres been a problem and the site admin's have been notified." But if I back-click to the previous page where I just posted my fish and then click on 'Leaderboard' I can see that there was actually no problem except the false alarm "Theres been a problem....." page that pops up. This has been going on for months now and is the reason why so many people have double & triple posted the same fish. They see this false alarm page and then re-post the same fish. Just try & post a fish up and you'll see what I'm talking about. This is probably the reason why there is two duplicate fish entries right now on top three fish of each species page as well. Look at the rockfish & striper categories. jim

I've sent bsteves an email.  He is the AOTY admin.

I'm not 100% this is the fix, but I recently read about IE8 not liking underscores in cookie names (which the aoty app had).  I renamed the aoty cookie and restarted the server.  You may need to restart your browser and possibly flush your cookies, but I think should help.

Same prob here. and FWIW I was using firefox

In addition to the above issue, there is also the recurring problem that occurs if an angler posts 2 fish that have the same score.  For some reason this causes an error to occur in the calculation of the total score.  Folks have just been adding 0.01" to one of the fish to get around the problem.

That's too bad I was hoping that was the answer.  I've never experienced this issue so it's really hard for me to diagnose it.  I've cleaned up a few other things, but I'm not sure it will help.

As for the bug regarding the two fish with the same score.. I haven't found an answer to that yet.  The query to calculate the scores bases on all the rules is quite complicated and it doesn't deal with exact ties well enough.  Like bird said.. add a hundredth of an inch to one fish and you're all set.
