Well, *that's* not good...

Hmm. Okay, I'm not imagining it: my friends list is coming in semi-random order today. I skip back 20, 40, 60 entries and I'm seeing duplications all over the place. It isn't even showing up in order within a single page: when I have skip=60 set, I'm seeing entries slopping back and forth between May 31st and June 1st, over about a 24 hour period.

Anyone else seeing this? Have we heard anything about DB instability on the site? I despise missing entries on my friends list, so this well and truly sucks...

I have heard that there are some issues with post-by-email... maybe a peek at the status or paidmember communities would be in order.

Mine appears ok, but I don't have the massive numbers of feeds & friends that you do.

I hadn't noticed it looking at my 'people' sub-list of friends. On closer examination, there are one or two posts that appear out of order, if I go back far enough, but that could be time zone issues. (Replies I make through the web have incorrect time stamps, while posts I write with a local client have good time stamps.)

My 'feeds & groups' sub-list of friends is all over the place. Since some of the groups have world wide posters, it's possible that the sequencing is good, but the time zones are just really that out of whack for the reported date/time. When I look at my simple friends page, with all my friends feeds and groups on one page (not a normal reading mode for me), then things seem a bit more chaotic.

I've seen the happen and soon after they post there was a DB problem somewhere.
