Point Regeneration and Enter Giveaway Changes

Awesome! The button is working as expected now. Thanks cg!

Thank you for your hard work, cg! Keep it up, we're counting on you <3

Thanks for all the good work, cg! :)

And I just wrote my own script, like two weeks ago, that reverts the "please wait" message to the "Enter" button, after receiving an empty response. ^^
Thank you, this bugged me since SGv2 started.

Cool news! You're the best, guys! :D

Sounds like a smart solution. Well done :)

Looks like we will be screwed in situations where one point is missing and giveaway is ending in about minute or two.

Oh yes, thanks!

Thx for all your hard work cg and of all of support, for that matter :)

Clever solution. Congratulations an thanks for the awesome work!

Thanks!
Does this also fix the lag and occasionally losing points when you remove entries?
And no more "waiting for that 1 more point to enter". :p

Thanks for the changes :3

Amazing job! :D

nice thanks

So no more regular refreshing to see how many more points came :D. I'd suggest people create giveaways to end at 5 or 10 minutes past the hour instead of on the hour, then, though...

we are fast now o.O

All hail CG
on a serious note. nice catch of the problem ;)

Wow you're just pumping out all these awesome solutions. Thanks for the great site CG!
i'm feeling the difference after these improvements

Thanks a lot for the changes. Now it's 1000 easier to enter a giveaway =D

\o/

thanks cg entering giveaways is now like a charm

Yep, much better today.

Now that you are updating data-base in bulk not in real-time, there sure is less load on whole system. If you really use 15 min interval that you decreased pressure for around 900 times, also 900 times less likely of dead-lock.
Please take this in consideration, I don't know what system and strategy you are using in background, but 15 min is kinda overkill. Personally it doesn't effect me that much, due the fact I'm 99% time locked at 300p, but I would suggest using dynamic system to trigger update. I.E. set minimal and maximal time interval without update, and number of created giveaways threshold; if threshold is reached before minimal interval keep accumulating; if its with-in allowed interval trigger, and if timer reaches maximum without threshold trigger. This should allow users to get more often points when there is flood of usual bundle games, but also keep bulk update of points system.
