Administration are aware of the problem, they understood it was annoying from the first 10 people that said so... they have said they are trying to fix it, give Forum some time, he never lets people down...

I dont get annoyed because its stuck, its mainly because ive made the decision to adopt a bunch of noobs who remind me every 30 seconds that the timer is stuck.
I know that admin is god and always works this stuff out, miracles you might say
You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel

from what i have seen from my own account, i think it is a display bug, instead of a forum wide bug. if you sit there refreshing, then the timer gets stuck. if you have been at the site for over 5 min, it gets stuck at the turn. if you have been on the site less than 5 min, it does not get stuck, unless you continue to refresh. if you leave the site for 15mins, the turn gets displayed properly. i do not think anyone is 'losing naq' or 'turns, and i do not think it is a server wide bug that skips turns. all you need to do to still get the mercs is to watch at what time the server clicks over compared to your time (mine is every half-hour, ie 3.05pm, 3.35pm etc), and log in at 3.06pm. i think my computer time is 5 mins slow compared to the server time.

Unfortunately what you think is wrong, the turns do stop, you do not get income, you do not get units, it IS server wide as many people have said...

i have the answer -drumroll- it's a server dump, like a back up
...so, it IS kinda linked to refreshing but no where near correct. I guess it takes longer if you guys constantly hit refresh while the "dump" is occuring because you are trying to access it when it is busy with self preservation tasks.
Not refreshing every 5 seconds would help it occur more efficiently but it would still occur nonetheless, it is required for healthy running of the servers

Just something from a noob.
in a perfect world yes, sadly it doesn't quite work like that, it is automated and should run smoothly but something is making it so that it has trouble continuing where it paused when it dumped the information. We don't know what the cause of that is, i believe it to be the amount of refreshing folk do.

So, when this happens (as it is now) do we need to say anything, or will our account receive our naq and units automatically, as soon as it gets fixed?
(I'm sure the answer to this is somewhere between page 1 and here, but after reading all of page one, seeing there were 8 pages, and then reading page 8, I realize I'm too lazy to read every post in between to find out.)
Thanks,

Ummnn I remember that there was a bug with the comander rankings page...
if Im not mistaken this bug started close to when that one was fixed
could there possibly be a relation ?
