Thanks bug?

[Atlusphere]

Hey I was wondering if an admin can help me out...it says I have thanked like, over 4 billion times. Lol. I have only thanked once that I can remember.

Weird thing is, I've only seen it bugged on me

No one will assume that you have fast fingers like that because of excessive masturbation, so no worries.

But what if I do?

Hehe j/k!

 

[OTrap]

Eh, I wouldn't sweat it. Even if it isn't the result of you trying to do something odd, you can still boast the highest thanks given count.

Would be better is that were your reputation.. or your itrader

Necroooooo yeah anyway not only is that against the terms BUT it's THANKS GIVEN not THANKS RECEIVED

Not worth $0.01

Either bhw server cpu has 32 bits or the sql maximum is 32bit.
The maximum integer (number) it can produce, in it's virtual memory so without actually storing it, is 4,294,967,295.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_(computer_science)#Common_integral_data_types

So it's a runaway script that causes it to go to the maximum number.
Seeing that it only happens to few it's not likely to be a code bug.
It's probably more coincidence.
You click the thank button and at the exact same time a admin execution is preformed by either the server or the sql.

Or in other words.........YOU broke it.
The repair bill will be send to your address.
How noble of you to point it out.

This isn't entirely correct. The architecture of the CPU means nothing in this case.
