Just a question.What version of the checker you use? 11.0.1 or a beta one ? or maybe even 10.2 or what it was.
my version is 11.0.1 and I am getting that error for a different thread
Not sure if it would be possible now with the new check rate implemented on the site (a couple of weeks ago i think it was), and it might cause more issues and errors instead of helping. And I am on 11.0.2 1437 beta version now so my guess is it might be an api issue or a database issue.
I'll have to check the cache api logs. My guess is the thread was made private for a small amount of time, it was refreshed during that time, so it was cached that it was unavailable, then it was reopened, and threads that don't exist get cached for up to 14 days. Also I'm away for next week or so, can't really do much about it for now.
You're right, that's not really feasible. What I could do is try to make it forget that it doesn't exist if it is found in the 12-hour periodic version check (currently it doesn't touch entries that don't have a version cached, so threads that don't exist are skipped), and in the latest updates check (same here)
No worries, have fun and Happy New Year, in case I won't be able to tell you later.
Actually, thinking about it some more.
This actually sounds like something it could be relatively easy implemented, something like "Ignore X for 24 hours or 1 week" or whatever time it was set.
Something like that, yes. It could have multiple options, like a timer as i said, or a checkmark for permanent, ofc with option to remove it later on.
It's not always a matter of time. Some games just get removed from f95zone indefinitely for breaking the rules or whatever else. Possible solutions I see is either yeah with a timer or indefinitely, where it ignores until it is available again (which is possibly never). Would also need to find a way to indicate somewhere that it is ignored.
Might be a bad suggestion or idea... but this makes me wonder if it can be implemented in the error message the reason in more details why the thread is gone? For example if it is banned for rules breaking, when you get the error to have it stated there. I know we have a general idea of why.
The thread is just privated, or deleted, there's no way to know why
Figured as much, unless is actually implemented in the website. As nexus does for mods. Anyway thank you for your work on the checker and everything else and sorry if i said stupid things.
WillyJL, I received this error this morning as well. The thread does exist. I removed it and added it by URL. Then I refreshed the thread and got the same error again.
Sorry. Willy. Not the case.
His reply was to what i said, if it can be added the exact reason when you get the error. What i meant by that was for example, if the game was banned for breaking rules, to have that stated alone and not the rest as being set as private or user deleted. Hope this makes sense.
Read the whole conversation, not the last reply to the adjacent but unrelated question.
