Rankings not updating?

I made a few tweaks to my rankings 1-2 hours ago, went away to do some work then wanted to make another change but they're stuck on the "Your rankings are still processing... please wait a few moments for this to complete." page. Tried refreshing and restarting the browser but no luck, anyone else having issues?

I checked my rankings, and had no issue.  Then I went and checked one of your rankings to compare - your Comprehensive Bantamweight rankings - and received the same "Your rankings are still processing... please wait a few moments for this to complete" message.

Thanks for confirming, strange if it's just hitting me and not site-wide. Did you make any changes to your rankings or just try to view them? Because I can still view mine that I haven't updated today

@jrscolwell 

I just made a change to one of my own designed rankings, and it saved and updated just fine, but I now receive the same message you did when trying to view it.

Fwiw, I'm no longer receiving alert notifications on the sidebar for threads I'm subscribed to now either.

Ok, that sounds like what's happening to me too then, I was also able to make the changes then couldn't see them afterwards. I'm also not getting those alerts, and the forum tab isn't updating on the home page, so guess there's just something broken with the site rn

This was something we were doing on the Tapology end, sorry about that.

When you update your rankings or do a variety of other things, it gets placed into a queue on one of our servers. Items in the queue get worked on one at a time by the processors on the server. Usually the queues only have a few dozen items sitting in them, so your rankings updates or other things happen really fast.

But today we had a special data crunching project that dumped like 50,000 items into the queue. All your rankings and other updates got stuck behind it for a few hours. Might happen once more tomorrow (hopefully for less time) and then should be all done.

Thank you for the explanation.  Everything working tip top now!

Thanks for letting us know, that makes sense
