Cannot access main site
When I click on any link to the main site I receive this error message: "OMG. Scratch could not connect to memcached. Please try again later."
Now it works again O.o weird...

No. Just because a few people got a funny message doesn't mean the entire site got hacked. It might be that the ST actually has a sense of humor.

Re: Cannot access main site
Seems simple enough. They were having trouble connecting to memcached, which i take to be some sort of database. OMG!

Re: Cannot access main site
From setting up ScratchR, I remember that memcache is a tool used to cache stuff like the contents of the database, and it is separate from the PHP code. This probably means that the memcache server was being buggy.

Re: Cannot access main site
When I get an error on the scratch website it usually says:
404 Not Found
The Scratch Cat is scratching his head
But this morning I got this:
ll, url: null, init : function(key, url) { Survey.key = key; Survey.url = url; }, done : function() { Survey.take(); }, cancel : function() { Survey.take(); }, take: function() { setCookie(Survey.key, 'done', 365*2); }, didTake: function() { if(readCookie(Survey.key)) { return true; } return false; }, open : function() { window.open(Survey.url); Survey.hide(); }, hide : function() { Survey.take(); TINY.box.hide(); }, show : function() { if(Survey.didTake()) { return false; } var htmlText = '
Do you want to take a survey?
'; TINY.box.show( { html : htmlText, boxid : 'frameless', fixed : false, maskid : 'bluemask', maskopacity : 40, width: 240, height: 65, closejs : function() { Survey.cancel() } }); } }
