Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    But you are not interested in the issues: just in dishing out abuse.
    As a mod note Pete, attack the post, not the poster. There has been no abuse here - there's been questions raised about your interactions with the ICU, around which your silence is telling, and there's been corrections about your interpretations of events, but no abuse - and I've advised on how to address the issues you have, so can hardly be said to be uninterested.

    If you still disagree with specifics in my posts, point them out. But blanket stuff like the above is not conducive to debate.

    Does anybody know what is happening to the ICU Ratings site?

    On 23 May I received an email from the Ratings Officer, which was sent to all tournament organizers, saying that the special facilities on the site for tournament organizers were being rescinded pending an overhaul of the site. They have still not been restored. This has not only had the effect that tournament organizers cannot upload tournament results to the site, but we also cannot access the information about players that we need to run a tournament.


    Tournament Reporter status is now back, with access to the facilities that tournament organizers need, which is good. However, although all who were registered as tournament organizers were informed by email when the facilities were withdrawn, we have not been sent notification that they are now back: I stumbled across this by accident. Tournament organizers and arbiters therefore need to be aware that they need to reapply to the Ratings Officer to be accorded these facilities. When I did that, my application was granted within 15 minutes, so there shouldn't be any problem for bona fide applicants.

    As developer of the ratings website, I'd like to mention the following:
    1. Yes GDPR forced us to hide certain pages from non-logged in members.
    2. The server we use to run the rating and main sites is a very small machine, with little disk space. Yesterday I found the disk was full, which means certain queries fail. We have a plan to move the system to another provider, where we will be able to have a much bigger disk, but this plan takes time, and it will involve no access, or sporadic access to the website for a period of 2 days.
    3. The main ratings page has a very complex query that seems to load a lot of data into memory, and this is more likely to break, as we rate more and more events. Possibly over the Christmas period, I will have time to fix this problem for good. In the mean time, I would recommend using the Live rating list, as the main page to go to. This is much more efficient.
