Hi all

I've had chance to work out the problem with the news, for those who have a technical interest it seems the problem was with the team score BIGINT(20) column. It turns out PHP running on a 32-bit machine can only store values up to 2147483647, which was why the upcoming stomps stopped working and soon after the team score, increase and PPD stopped updating. Unfortunately I'm not going to be updating the server to 64 bit soon.

The good news is it shouldn't affect the individual stats so I've commented out the team stuff and it should work again. It will take a couple of weeks for the tables to populate but there should be news again soon :)

Just as I'm getting back in the saddle :) Gotta find a use for these AMD cards now they are useless at mining :D
 
Your numbers were beginning to look a little unrounded at the top Biffa. A billion must be a nice target ;)
 
No crazy bigadv beasties anymore, just a couple of gpu's here and there. Did nearly 250K yesterday.
 
If you're feeling suitably inclined, load the BIGINT values as strings and then use something like GMP to deal with them.

If you're suitably inclined (and you can actually do this to your server)! :)
