Issue with Forum Spy?

The Spy wasn't updating properly on one of the two forum servers, which would explain the somewhat random updates :) Let us know if you're still seeing issues!
 
I have not seen the fresh issues lately, but I have a much cooler issue.

Sometimes the spy will update, but it will lapse back in time and update with posts any varying number of days old without explanation. These posts are in the correct order, it just like the feed goes back an odd number of days. For instance, today it lapsed back to Jan 28th on me.

This is on firefox 3.6 on a XP machine.

edit: And I think this is a slight issue:

Yes, there's a problem with it. Note the sequence of posts in this one thread. The same post by greytmom keeps showing up repeatedly in Forum Spy. Resetting Safari has no effect.

After another refresh. It appears these two posts keep showing repeatedly in Forum Spy:

Here's my submission. I can reset, but it will function correctly for a few minutes than revert back to older posts. BTW I'm using Chrome.

I'm having the exact same issue using the current version of Safari. My old posts however start at 4:06pm and continue onward.

It appears to be working correctly for me (Safari 5.0.3 on 10.6.6).

So you and MacDawg are the only ones not experiencing this! You two are the only moderators who have responded, so far. Either moderators are immune, or, ...... nah, that couldn't be it...... it's way too early for the mods to be playing an April Fool's joke on us! :D

Only mods seem to be unaffected. Interesting.

Hasn't worked for me on latest Firefox and iOS Safari for hours.

You could be onto something; I just logged out and the Spy stopped working. Logged back in and it's working again.

Are you able to replicate Nermal's experiment of logging out and confirming Forum Spy issues?

Also noticing that no Demi's are amongst the complainers. Not sure how this could actually be an issue, just a footnote I guess. So all you Demi's, everything working OK for you?

How do you figure there's no Demis?
