"Latest system error"
13 posts 370 views
Love you, too
The recent server errors that many have been seeing are due to large cookies now being rejected. I'm working on allowing larger cookies again, but over the last two days I've reworked UMD's cart system and forum read topics system to keep cookie sizes from ballooning in the first place.
The cart now has a cap of 100 items to keep it from getting out of hand. Read forum messages are now stored in the db and referenced by a tiny cookie. I was able to triple the number of stored read messages, and now your browser won't need to send the whole list on every page request.
I'll be working on cookies all day to day, making sure everybody can still get on the site.

Stay messy, my friends

Yeah, yours got erased yesterday unfortunately because it was pretty big. You can still see the items that were in it, in your Cart History: https://umd.net/profile/section/cart_history
You can contact me personally if you need help getting your cart back to how you want it. It just can't hold as many items as before

Ah sorry for such a large one it was just me listing ones I was going to buy at some point bit by bit. I just Never Got Round to Buying them.

Nah it's really my fault. You didn't do anything wrong. The cart limit really shouldn't be there, and won't be forever!

Hi
Like Gunge_is_great my cart has emptied which i am sure is down to having over the 100 item limit. Same reason in that i had a load saved up for buying later on. Was going to do that a few months back but the site was having it's slow issues then so i opted to wait until it was more stable.
If it's possible to acquire my cart history that would be great. I assume it would be possible to put some in the cart and buy them then add more later on even if i stick some in the buy later section for breaching the $300 limit per set.
Would have to wait until after weekend as away from home to purchase and download.
Cheers in advance.

Yup, everybody can see their cart history here: https://umd.net/profile/section/cart_history There's also a link to that under Profile -> Purchases in the hamburger menu

Okay so now I've switched the cart system over to be primarily DB based instead of cookies, referenced just by your session ID. So although min checkout is still $300, the cart itself (and save for later) can now be unlimited in size. We're no longer dumping large carts; Instead I have a migration script that will automatically move everyone over upon their first hit to the site. Same with forum read topics. This also prevents your browser from sending HUGE cookie headers on every single request (every thumbnail, js script, etc... it adds up).
If your cart was dumped, you can easily restore it from your own Cart History. https://umd.net/profile/section/cart_history
I'm still refining some things and monitoring for bugs as I move on to the next challenge. Anyone can hit me up if they see issues from these changes as they were not insignificant. Thanks everyone for your patience.

Hi, thanks restored it to a certain extent. None of the cart histories are correct for the saved for later alas as there was loads in there as it was last year when i last bought something and i am pretty sure the total cart price between to buy and saved for later was 1000-1200 worth. All it has saved for later is 2 files currently
My pics will not post then I re do them and I'll look and it "did" post them I have to delete sets. Same thing with messy forum and posts.
It will hang up on me then blank out so I re post and it's a double post.
Same with my scenes: too large to post never had that before.
Just letting you know thank for the help!

The trick here is understanding how the web works - basically, when you hit "Submit" your computer sends everything to the server. The server then receives and processes it and should eventually make a response, but may time out or otherwise error.
So if posting things, before assuming it's failed, go back one and then reload the page to see if the images appear. If they do, no need to resubmit and no duplicate. Likewise with posts - go back, then reload the forum and see if your post is now there.
