Site Wide Issues
Issues That Affect Every Aspect of Gaia
Sushi Critical Errors
Update: This issue is pretty high on the priority list. Hopefully over the next few days, the number of "Sushi errors" should be going down, hopefully to 0.
Sushi is the name of the Gaia database. Recently, people have been seeing this error instead of the usual "phpbb Critical Error" and are wondering what it is. The errors are actually synonymous. The errors for "sushi" are the same errors as the phpbb Critical Errors, however, they are being generated by the new Gaia code that is more robust and has better error handling. When you get these errors, simply refresh and continue. There seems to be the most errors during Gaia Peak Hours.
"Please Refresh the Page." and Cookies
A recent code update (in an attempt to lessen the "sushi" errors) makes use of cookies in an attempt to reduce server stress until the problem is fixed completely. This error message, asking you to refresh your browser, occurs most frequently on the Gaia Main Index page, although it has also been seen elsewhere on the site. When you see this message, a simple refresh will give you the page you were looking for.
Registration Errors
When registering for a new account, it says "sorry, your session has timed out, please register again" Try again later, on a different computer, and be sure you try to register both ways. The front page has the flash set up to register new accounts. The original way of signing up can still be accessed; Click Here
Also, when registering, the name you want for your new account will instead be renamed on to your current account. Occasionally, it will make the new account with your desired name and write over your existing account. If that happens, please use the Feedback Form to contact the Administrators.
Not Gaining Gold
For the past two weeks, several users have reported they have just outright stopped gaining gold from posting and voting in polls. This problem seems to be affecting a small number of users and is 100% random. The problem is currently being worked on.

- ~ Important Info Regarding Gaia Glitches and How to Get By With Them ~!
By: Elayia

I have a little information that might be useful to Gaians experiencing glitches with the system. Right now, I just have a couple of tips that have proved to be extremely useful when it comes to posting on topics.
First off, sometimes while trying to reply to a topic, Gaia glitches and the posts are "ignored", if I may. They aren't even put up or acknowledged. Also, there are some incidences where one has just posted a few seconds ago and their post is not accepted because they can't post so soon after their last. So, with this in mind, I found a way to store your posts so that if one of these errors, be it of yours or Gaia's, happens it can easily be managed. Before clicking submit, highlight your entire message quickly by holding down the Ctrl key and A key. Then, right-click on your mouse in the highlighted area and a bar will appear. Click Copy. Your message is now on a clipboard, and if an error occurs, you can just click Back on your browser, right-click inside the text box on the posting screen, and click Paste. Your message will reappear and you can click submit. If errors continue to happen, don't worry. Your message is still on the clipboard, just be sure not to copy anything else until you have your message in a safe place, such as pasted on Notepad. This technique works for both topic postings and private messages.
My second tip has to do with seeing messages. As of late, Gaia has been glitching and posts, even though they have been accepted and are posted, are not showing up. There is a simple answer to this that I think is very important, especially when the glitch happens right in the middle of a conversation with another Gaian. On the Post Reply screen, you can view messages posted on the Topic Review, on the bottom of the screen below the text box. Most of the time, messages can be viewed here, unless the glitch affects the entire topic, in which case you'll just have to wait until the glitch is fixed. The Topic Review is also helpful when you're on a busy topic and more than one person happens to be talking to you. The Topic Review can be refreshed alone, as well, so if you're typing a long message you can refresh the Topic Review and not worry about your post disappearing. Unfortunatley, this tip doesn't work with private messages.
I hope this information helps with the glitches, so that lags with Gaia don't affect the fun time of the Gaians as much. I'll keep you posted on any new info I might come up with.

Finally was able to find the problem with the avatar saving problem and fixed it today. Sorry for the long delay. Working on avatar deletion right now and that should be resolved very soon.
