Settled as Yes

Background:

Nikki Finke has announced an 'exclusive' on her blog, that Jon Favreau has signed up for the sequel to Iron Man...It has started the internet media frenzy - only problem is, it may not be NEW news at all.

Read this critique of Finke, 'Favreau in for IM 2 and Why Finke is a Moron':

The odds for this market are starting at a more than humble 95%

All questions are currently missing "Info" and "News" tabs. (unless I'm missing something)

There appears to have been a "face-lift" done in the past few minutes ... I have sent a message to the admins/Tech Team via "Contact us".

new skin.
'related news is on the right.
not sure where info went .
posted 20 weeks ago
Information that used to be under the "Info" tab is now under "Settlement details" (at bottom of shaded question/market box).

I'd swear ;-) neither of those options were there a few minutes ago -- but I certainly could have missed "Related News" being moved off to the right!

Hopefully there will be an announcement soon on the "Notice Board" -- for the benefit of all users.

At "modest 95%", Ironman is SUPER unprofitable...

My mistake: "a more than humble 95%".

I've been getting a strange error on hubdub all week long. A huge empty page with just two lines of text, scattered several lines apart, stating the purpose of the page. Has anybody else seen it?

THERE! Just got it again:

HUGE blank page with words: "comment added successfully" sitting in the middle of the page. Anyone else getting these?

@randburg: No I haven't. Now and than (today once), not quite often though, a page tells me I'd found a bug and offers me to return to the homepage. Most of the time, a refresh of the page suffices. I assume it happens when I request the page exactly in the moment where something within the code is being deployed.

I have been getting very slow response times from Hubdub while doing different activities. I tried to suspend a market today and it took a few minutes before it went through. Probably just a phase as the tech team is trying to roll out some new amazing accomplishment that will better the lives of Hubdubbers everywhere.

@ randburg,

Yes I get these frequently. Also had an issue today when I saw that a bid on my Super Bowl put me over the $1M theshold in wagers, I could see that it occured, but it was unclear whose prediction actually put me over the top, I suspect that destry is right and that we're about to see something cool roll out.

@randburg
yes. i get it each time i cash in a position. if you scroll down, you will see the remainder of the market info, including the options to buy.
I also see this effect when completing challenges.
I do think it is a style-type bug.

Slow but correct responses can be caused by database scripts, such as the ones used to create the leaderboards. Or when masses of senseless comments are to be stored at once.
