SM bytes not truly random

[Lincoln]

I've decided the "random" function governing the SM Bytes is broken. It seems like I'm always seeing the same 10-15 bytes and the rest never appear. :bawling:

:p

I thought it was just me, but it seems the same here, too. :scratch:

I think Shorty designed the function to look for "Geeky1", "Thrax", and "primesuspect."

[Shorty]

It is random as it uses the MySQL ORDER BY RAND() function. I think you guys need to check your browser usage and see if you are using the "back" button rather than the "refresh" one :rolleyes:

It's also worth pointing out that seeing as YOU cleaned up the bytes thread Mr Keebler, if there is a high proportion of "Geeky1", "Thrax", and "primesuspect.".. then ask yourself why... as YOU sorted it ;D


































:p ;D

MySQL is teh br0k0rs. :( ;D

I cleaned it out to try and increase the likelihood of getting a new one... and it didn't do anything. :p

[Shorty]

Well it works fine here and MySQL is not borked at all (I did just check it). :)

Im afraid the problem here is between the chair and the PC :D

You're going to force me to start keeping score, eh? :p

I get a new one every time I launch the page. I rarely see the same one each day.

As I said, user error :D
