Characters on character list moved around?

Postby the_antisocial_hermit » Thu Sep 22, 2016 10:48 pm

I was just looking at my character list, and everyone was in their place. But then I went into a character and came back, and my youngest had been moved up to the third position. It was really jarring and scared me for a minute.

I hope this is not a permanent thing on the game's end, because I prefer my characters listed by age rather than gender. They need to get back in their rightful places. :(

I do not know if it was a temporary issue or if some magic was done, but it just now switched back to normal.

It swapped again, so I tried a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5), and that seemed to swap it back, even though logging in and out the first time didn't? I guess if it happens again, I'll keep trying that. It is really weird, and I can't remember it ever happening before, but 12 years is a long time, so who knows.

Adding an update here to avoid multi-posting (it is now about 21 hours after I first saw it happen):

This keeps happening, it's always random, doesn't usually last long. It doesn't matter what browser or computer I'm on, so I'm now certain it's not on my end. It's only the character from the end of my list that keeps moving.

Have two of your characters spawned at the same day? I wonder why this problem didn't happen any time in the past, because no code changes were done for character list for quite a long time.
Was your character dragging or doing anything interesting when it happened for the first time?

Do you have any custom CSS or GreaseMonkey scripting going on?
I noticed once when Iwas trying to muddle my way through a script plugin that a few pages got randomly wonky, but not consistently.
When I went back to "Classic Cantr" CSSS it worked fine again. (My issue was my own fault, but something to consider, since I know a few people use helpful add-ons sometimes?)

I often have this problem but have a handful of characters who spawned on the same day. It corrects itself after a short while (less than a day)

They were spawned on the same day, though the last one was at the end of the day and the first was at the very beginning, and I wondered if that happened to be a part of it, though I've never had that issue until now. It was their spawnday the day it started happening, though it didn't happen for the others they've had.

They were not doing anything interesting that I remember. Just working on whatever random projects they had going.

I know it wasn't a script. I only run Cantr Enhanced, and I only have that on the main computer I use to access the game (I did check it, as well when it first happened). It is not on my phone, tablet or second computer. The only consistent script would be the CalyxMod-dark.css that I chose from the interface settings, and I've not made any changes to it or had any issues since I changed to it in Feb.

It is still doing it, but it only happens for a few minutes at a time.

Obviously, your character experiences time differently than others and at any given moment they may be older or younger than your ordinary, spatially static characters.

It can get a bit wibbly wobbly, I imagine.

Anyway, thanks for all the replies. There may be nothing done for it, but since it is usually not very long, it's not so bad. At least I know where to look if it is not in its place.
