Solved puzzles and difficulty are no longer properly recorded #29

Closed moppman closed 2 years ago

moppman commented 2 years ago

Hi! For some time (not sure how long exactly, couple of weeks?) puzzles don't seem to be registered as "solved" anymore, thus the difficulty rating (on hover) is no longer shown for most of new puzzles and it just says solves: 0. There are some new puzzles where it still seems to work, but I haven't been able to recognize a pattern.

The pattern is theorized to be that solves logged after the db picks up the puzzle are not saved, while solves from before that point (from sharing it privately etc.) are.

Ah, thanks! Has this always been the case? Looking at past puzzles, it looks to me like the behaviour has changed around the beginning of October. Or maybe people have just been solving fewer puzzles 😅

Ok, looks like everything's working again after a day or two of 503 status code messages. Guess I'll close this now.
