Dog ate my page responses?

Hi. I just wrote a post and when I went to publish it I got an error message. Then I went to report it on the form page that comes up when you click on report error and I got a "dog ate my page" response. Anyone else experiencing technical problems with the site right now? The photo is just for visibility!

    @genkidesu Thanks to City Cost for whatever back-end IT wizardry was required to restore the platform. The first stable login for me was the evening of April 23rd. 大感謝！

    It worked earlier today for me, and I can see your blog! So hopefully it was just a temporary glitch!

    @genkidesu thanks a million K. I see I'm back in action now. I had City-cost open in another window at the time. Perhaps that's what caused it?

    @BigfamJapan that could be a possibility! I've had the "dog ate my page" error in the past, too, but never put two and two together that it could have been multiple windows open causing it. I will have to keep that in mind in case it happens again!

    I sometimes get logged out involuntarily, but few "dog ate my page" responses. They only happen when I miss one of the elements of a post.

    I just had it happen earlier today with a post that I started and then returned to later. So maybe it's something to do with idle time and the page 'timing out' so to speak?

    @genkidesu Sorry to hear that. I used to get it more often for things like that. There hadn't been any technical issues for ages, so it might just be something needs tweaking behind the scenes.

    @TonetoEdo I get logged out involuntarily sometimes when I've had the window open a long time.

    @BigfamJapan Ah! Thanks for the heads-up about long logins.

    Did the rest of you have issues with the whole site being down for the last couple of days? I was getting errors every time I tried to login. It resolved late last night, it seems!

    @TonetoEdo yes, very thankful for those working behind the scenes to get it fixed! The time that the site was down made me realize how much I enjoy checking in daily on here!

    @genkidesu Me, too! I was so relieved to see the website functional again! My one quibble is with the place reviews. Click on a place review, scroll down to IN THE AREA, and you'll see duplicate thumbnails. It's not a big thing, but it means you scroll past multiple entries. Is it important? Yeah! I want my friends with whom I share the reccos to trust the platform.

    @TonetoEdo I've noticed that a few times, too. Didn't know if it was a long-term issue or a temp glitch, but probably good to alert the admins in case it's an easy fix! Definitely understand wanting to make sure the platform is a trusted resource for folks!

    @BigfamJapan So it's not a browser problem on our end. It's not catastrophic, but it would look good if there weren't duplicates. City-Cost Kancho, pretty please!

Database error

Anyone else getting a database error after you log in? So far, it looks like I can still write posts, but I had trouble logging in and after log in my home page looks different to normal with a "database error" message.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
