Update: Almost Killed By My Food & Still Working On Increasing Photocontests Throughput

Food poisioning

So ye basically my food tried to kill me, hence the delays. Almost back to normal health and working on the backlog :)

Photocontests bot issues

So currently the @photocontests bot is not always able to keep up with the high amount of traffic. This causes a delay and since I used to filter for old posts it did not always respond anymore. Now you will be able to still receive comments until your post is 6 hours old. As stated before I temporarily removed the multiplier penalty. These are all temporarily solutions.

In the meanwhile I am working on multi threading the bot, this takes some time but should resolve all the issues.

Reminder

So to make it more manageable for me I only look at photos posted in on the last day for the contests. So until 24 hours after the daily remainder post. I am on GMT+1 timezone or UTC+1.

You still earn XP and upvotes for posting on other days.

Thank you, my pleasure :)

Ah ah ah ah stayin alive ;)

Oh shit, food poisoning suuuucks. I tip my hat to you. That's no fun fun. Smooth sailing once you make it through that darkness though.

Dutch Food? 😜🙃😜

I think it were the mussels...

Stay wel and keep healthy @juliank.

That is my goal for 2018, hopefully now I can already check 'being sick' for the rest of the year :P

Take a rest you need but don't stop the contest😊

Oh you do not want to see photos of the mess I made..

;), You're right, #ShitHitTheFanPhotograhy

you are doing really a great job, I'm glad to see your post.

Food poisoning can be pretty nasty, hope you're on the mend.

What is mend?

Ah... "on the mend" is a local phrase meaning "hope you're feeling better" :)

Aha! Learned something new today, yes I am feeling a lot better already. Thanks!

Weren't you sick a couple days ago? I guess something is plotting against you hhaha.
Stay safe friend don't push yourself out of the limits! you are doing an amazing work.

My body figured why not cram everything in the a short time period so I can be healthy the rest of the year... I hope

hope your feeling better

Thanks, already feeling a lot better!

Getwellsoon @juliank

Thanks <3

Oh no. I hope you feel better!

Thanks, my health is quickly improving. So I am quite sure it was food poisoning

Aw hell that sucks bad, had to endure that myself one time, the toilet was my best friend for days, get well soon ! 🤗

Yeah I had some bonding time with my toilet as well ;p

What did you eat

great photography..i appreciate this contest..best of luck.

What did you eat? I don't think Ive ever had food poisoning in Europe, now India thats another story......

I think it were the mussels I ate!

Ah they can doit!

Glad to hear you’re on the mend. I’m still recovering from influenza B I got on Christmas.

Oh damn they got you too?!

Me, my wife and my son. It sucked.

Good to hear you're recovering and almost in good health again! Thanks for coming back soon though still recovering. That's a lot of work you have to get back on. Good luck on that! Will keep submitting entries as always! :)

Thank you, looking forward to your entries :)

Ofcourse! Thanks :)

Urgh, sounds unpleasant! Happy you are feeling better @juliank! Take it easy!

Thank you, that is my plan!

Take care, my friend )

I will, thanks!

Ohhh no - food poisoning is nasty. Hope you’re feeling better :)

Definitely not the best experience I had in a while :P

hey... don't do anything. get some rest

but but...!

wow never had food poisoning but sounds awful glad you are okay, what food did you eat that caused it? I hear there is an outbreak of E-coli in romaine lettuce recently.

Glad to hear you're feeling better @juliank :)

Hope you are feeling better! Keep it up @juliank.

Food poisoning is the worst. I am glad you are better bro.

gat will oon you are amazing thats why you create amazing contest .. and you know what you live in moments ..love you and i mean it

Yeah, I've been had by chicken soup before, not a fun experience at all. Makes you dubious of that food every time you see it from that point on. Mussels though, have you had them before? My sister had such a reaction from Oysters, but she'd shared it with her husband and he never got sick; They presume it was an allergic reaction.
