Today I noticed that the Black Box green time bar doesn't refresh.
I refer to the Black Box section on GF page, on top left, where there is the "Join the draw" button and the green bar with "active in .. minutes".
When the draw happens, it is not displayed. I have to check the time and manually refresh the page.
For example, now, server time 20:21, the green time bar it is stuck at "Active in 7 minutes".
It's not a serious issue, but wanted to know if it's just me or it's a common one. |

Today it seems working for me as well. Yesterday, instead, I had to manually refresh the page from time to time in order to get the green time bar unstuck and check the draw. Mistery of the Omnissiah and Machine Spirit.
Thanks, both Garions, for the replies! |

My guess would be some local internet issues causing crashes within the UI application. I have it on the todo list to make it bit more resilient, I’m pretty sure it’s not very good at recovering from failures at the moment. Refreshing the page will always sort that type of issue. I’d be interested to know if other people have that happen often. |

So far it happened to me only yesterday (throughout all the day, not just one or two times), if I remember well. I could browse the site normally, launch games and I had no connection lag (I checked the client ping). I thought it could have been connection lag, but it wasn't, so, after several times that the green bar got stuck, I wrote the post. I don't like to create false reports and waste designers' time. Apologies, in case. |

Cheers! Another thing I remember, I don't know whether it can be useful: yesterday, when I went to the "Choose teams" page and selected the teams, then clicked on "Activate teams" button, the "Choose teams" page didn't automatically go back to GF page, "please wait" lasted forever and I had to go back manually to GF page.
I don't know whether there is correlation, though. That suggested me a sort of lag happening, but the site, other browsing and games looked fine. |
