Vick Forcella Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Since it's taking so long I expect that this time they will really fix it instead of patching it up over and over again. That's my hope. I am a feed user since about day one, or two. It's 99% about SL, not about politics or odd RL ramblings. You can select who you want to follow and ignore the odd balls. Sharing of pictures is fun, seeing pictures other have made is sometimes amazing. The adventures of Lo and Niko, I miss them dearly. My friendlist has grown thanks to the feed. It's more fluid as the forums, more selective as Twitter and Flickr. It's unique and I am addicted, as I can see the feed off-line and chat with people in the wrong timezones. Today I received 99+ notifications. I still can't post yet on my feed, but I still can reply on existing posts. Because of the sudden 99+ notification I know something is being done. I have hopes and expect to see you all there again soon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a frequent user of the profile feeds, I believe I've been very patient. This problem has dragged on for weeks and has gotten worse over time. After months, I'd like to know what's happening. I don't think that's unreasonable. Well I did actually ask some folks I know who use it more regularly, I had to find them to ask them lol (because, you are right, my opinion is completely clouded by my own usage, which I've already said, I have no problem admitting that). And the folks I talked to are content with the fact that LL has addressed that it's indeed a problem, and it's being worked on. So, that just reiterates, for me, what I'd previously thought(that if it were important for me, I'd be happy LL were communicating anything at all...but, again, I'm also used to no communication from them on important things, so some is a breath of fresh air, for me. But take that from someone who has participated in a feature of SL that has been...let's just say. challenging, for some years now, with particular features/changes/fixes that rarely to never get discussed or implemented and now it's far too late to implement most of them...I'm a bit jaded on that front too, lol) I don't think it's necessarily unreasonable, either, to expect communication...the level of communication is probably debatable, but like you said, depends a lot on how much someone depends on, uses, etc.. a certain feature. There's probably loads of them I don't use and really couldn't care less about, but others do..so I understand wanting communication, whether or not I'm the one that wants it. I'm not completely unreasonable about wanting it-I might be unreasonable about how *much* some people want, though-and I'll definitely admit that lol. I guess I see it as a glass half full sort of thing...they're communicating, even if it's not sufficient for some folks' liking, it's better than none at all (which lots of us probably got used to over the years), or them simply removing a feature entirely-which would totally suck for folks that use it(and I would be unhappy for the folks that like this feature, if LL did that...not that I think they would..just, they could, and it would suck) I really wasn't trying to downplay it as much as it sounded, and it probably did. I guess I'm more surprised they're addressing it at all...and little things like even some* communication make me happy-compared to past experiences of little to none at all. I give LL props on saying anything at all and not letting it fester even further(seriously, look at the JIRAs, you'll likely find lots of them that have sat for years, with barely any info from LL..so, yeah I def give them props on addressing this one, lol). I do remember the feeds had issues before though, I wasn't as mistaken on that as I thought(that's from another thread, lol). It was having one heck of a time with uploaded photos for a while there with them either not uploading(but saying they were processing, or something to that effect) or taking ages and ages to actually upload (quite a while ago now, I'd have to search to find it again, but I'm sure it's here). So, I think the feeds have been problematic far longer than they've been functional-which may be part of the problem-I don't know, since LL hasn't said *what the problem is, yet. It might also contribute to how little they're used(after too many issues people stop using things, after all, even once they're working again). And no I don't have actual stats, all any of us have is anecdotal evidence, at best..and mine(along with folks I did ask) suggests they're hardly used, while that of those who use them would likely say different. Just different perspectives on that front, I think. I don't think LL would give us those stats either, but they would be interesting. I'd much rather find out it's a feature more folks use than be right and find out it's barely used(because the former would suggest that is *why it's not been fixed, whereas the latter would suggest it's likely a bigger problem than LL thought-make sense?) I should shush on this issue now though. Hopefully Ll fix the feeds for those that need/want them, and sooner rather than later Edited August 5, 2017 by Tari Landar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use it regularly but even apart from the recent problems it's been way too unreliable for a long time. So I gave up. I will begin using it again if/when it becomes reliable enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I got this too. But I don't read it as a sign of progress. I read that, when a LL employee says "we're working on it, please be patient" then they're actually working on it. All the Feed problems are back live, that's true but actually, I suspect that things are now worse on the website side.

I can get to mine, but it took a couple of minutes to load the page - unlike an hour ago when it popped right up. I read in another page that some folks are starting to see things that were sent to the profile over a week ago, so apparently they are now processing all of the backlog. Still no clue whether current uploads will work after it is caught up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myra Wildmist Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Something is definitely going on. I'm getting photos on my feed, now, that had "failed." It's a very encouraging sign. Thank you, LL, for looking into this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think so, anyway. The feed has gone from completely unusable for all to unusable for some and unreliable for most. So some progress, but it brings us back to my original point - How about a little explanation? What's going on? I want to believe they'll get it fixed and soon. I also want to believe everyone I like won't die in GoT. PS It's broken for me, today, too.

Vick Forcella Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If you look at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-134078 you will see it has been accepted, that Linden Lab has transported the bug to WENG-3984' and that it is NOT closed. We, feed addicts, have observed a purge of backlog and a slow restart of a somewhat functioning feed, but it is slow and still unreliable. It is my guess that this time Linden Lab won't be happy with a temporary fix, as so many times before, but a true working and reliable feed. Imagine that my.secondlife.com could also be implemented as my.sansar.com..... Watch the Jira and wait for it to be closed. Good feeding times ahead. (some fingercrossing is advised) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
