I wouldn’t call it “just fine”.  A few years ago, posting in WO became quite slow and unreliable.  It was a forum-wide problem, but much worse in WO:  Mildly noticeable elsewhere if you paid close attention, whereas WO became almost unusable sometimes.  I heard that theymos then changed something with the database setup; I don’t know what, but the problem seemed to go away.

Recently, I have sometimes had slowness, timeouts, and even Cloudflare errors of inability to connect to the backend when trying to post in WO.  The problem is sporadic, and I can’t seem to reproduce it in any way useful for troubleshooting; but it is ugly when it rears up.  Sometimes, wrestling with it has resulted in double-posts where I had to delete the duplicate post after everything finally showed up.

I notice that ChartBuddy missed some recent updates.  Is the problem on Buddy’s end?  Or did Buddy experience a timeout as I sometimes have, with the inferior robot^* being too dumb to retry? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

^* This statement is intentionally ambiguous.  I neither admit nor deny the allegation that I am a robot.  I do habitually refuse to click the “I’m not a robot” box like a trained animal.  Robots are too smart to play that game!  WTF do does Google think I am, a piece of meat?
