[KS] oh my... we should bake a cake for the third(?) anniversary of the demise of your house. What's taking so long?
[Bis] Just passing through, back home now in lovely Strasbourg where no-one cares enough to set fire to anything...
Eek, they don't!
Annual review...
Another year, another OS upgrade, things sort of work, but also sort of don't... I seem to have broken the Whoops! feature.
Nope
Yet another test
It probably hasn't worked for ages, knowing me
Indeed
There's nothing like working on a live site... staging, we've heard of it. Seems to work now, of a fashion
Whoops?
I think I've used it quite recently. Within the last couple of weeks, surely?

What'd you do, Stevie? What'd you do?
Whoops!
It worked on some games, not others. Somehow, an index had got out-of-synch with the actual gameplay, which caused the de-whoopsing to fail. This is a brittle misfeature of the server code, motivated by a desire to keep the number of SQL queries to a minimum, which is probably a somewhat redundant optimisation given the tiny amount of data involved.

Glad to hear that the feature is used by people, though, as going backwards in time is not so straightforward.
