MATLAB: Web interface is broken

bugmeta

I have problems using the web interface since yesterday:
  • Comment->Save: Nothing happens.
  • Answer->Submit: The "something went wrong" message is shown, but the answer appears in the the thread inspite of this.
  • Aks a question->submit: This failed the last 10 times I tried to create this message. This time it worked 😉
I've send a message to files@mathworks already.
[EDITED] And to match the question->answer schema:
Are you happy that I suffer from the same problems as you?

Thanks for reporting these problems, apologies for all the inconvenience.
We've had two related problems with MATLAB Answers' search in the past 24 hours:
  1. Between about 4PM EST on 8/22 and 8AM EST on 8/23 the search engine failed to index new content, including questions, answers, and comments. This is the likely cause of the posting errors reported in this thread.
  2. Between about 11AM EST on 8/23 and now (2:15PM EST on 8/23) the search engine was returning "no results" intermittently (as shown in Sean's screen shot). I think that this is now fixed, but will keep an eye on it.
