492 is poised for release... 490 just went to Gallery View mid action

On a side note, this puzzle's deadline is now shown as Jan. 1, 2030 at 23:00 GMT for me. Is this happening to anyone else?

[Seth Cooper]

Things should be back to normal now.

nice catch, I changed those all back.

Sorry about this, something went wrong when making the deadline 2012 and a script was launched that messed everything up when trying to fix the problem.

Hopefully this won't happen again… until 2030 ;-)

Changed to Noted so people will see it. This needs to stay visible for at least 24 hours until everyone who sees the "Gallery Phase" popup has a chance to read this.

[beta_helix]

thanks B_2… this is probably a good idea in general when we resolve feedbacks (we just don't want to clutter the main feedback page with Resolved feedbacks, so if we forget to switch it after 24 hours please feel free to mark it as Resolved) Thanks!

Maybe the Feedback section of the website could be scripted to automatically close feedback items that have been resolved, after a certain period of time?

We actually never did hear what happened with this.

Why was it necessary to futz with the puzzle deadlines, and who ran un-tested scripts in a production environment?

What exactly do they teach the those computer science students at U-Dub? Not a very good resume-building incident…
