RE: Will DigiByte completely fall down??? website not working!

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Okay... This post is a little too emotionally charged for my liking. As a long-time web developer there are many reasons why a CSS or other linked assets may not be pulling into a page. Some reasons even fall upon the user's local machine and browser such as a cache corruption or the user interrupting the page before it is finished loading. Just because a style sheet fails to load does not mean, in any form, that the company and coin are in trouble.

This kind of sensationalism and #falsenews type of information should be ignored and called out when posted. Digibyte has already suffered a lot in the past month because of faulty rumors being pushed by people unwilling to do their homework to verify anything they were hearing. Unfortunately, this user does not know anything about websites or web development yet so many will take their word so seriously.

Please do not trade on emotional hype.

I mean no offense or disrespect to the poster and, in fact, am going to follow him because I bet he has some interesting things to say. I am only trying to curb the 'sky is falling' type of posts that people read and feed off of. It's dangerous and not self-serving to read and then act on this type of hysteria.

Happy Trading!

As far as I know it's still the task of the web developer to prevent cache corruption.
You need to make sure that you website works on every machine before you bring your updates online.
Preventing cache corruption is a matter of disabling caching in your code.
If he uses PHP inside CSS that would cause inpreventable cache problems but that's why PHP inside CSS is never done.

The problem didn't only occur on my computer but also on my friends pc's and friends of friends...
I understand what you're trying to say, probably this problem didn't occur when developping/updating the website and a lot can go wrong but;

A website can only come online after being thoroughly checked for problems... Image Google updating their search engine with problems and the whole world getting into troubles when searching the internet with their search engine...

Now I'm not saying this can't happen, or it wouldn't happen if I developed it, I'm just saying it's not good that it happened and should be avoided as much as possible.

Maybe I've let some emotion come into play, because I had that feeling that this is interesting news and I seemed to be the first that let the internet know about it. Anyways I was only pointing out facts and give warning information to other investers, because I was actually planning to buy a lot of DigiBytes myself, and probably will do that in the near future 😉

Thanks for the follow.

Happy Trading to you as well!

I appreciate your reply.
