Within the space of a week at Endeavour Investigations we have been hit by a glitch that has seen an item of equipment vanish when the smart suit is being taken or returned to the locker. At the same time other pieces of equipment have been duplicated.

The second time this hit was yesterday and fortunately only resulted in the loss of a dragon pendant. The first time we lost our Indian Serpentine Prayer Box, a huge loss as you can imagine.

On both occasions we have sent bug reports to Admin and are awaiting responses but as we’ve been hit twice I wonder why this is given that we’ve seen no other comments other than historic ones from other agencies having the same issues.

Can anyone shed any light?

It seems to happen most when someone doesn't let the page upload completely when they're changing gear. We call it the 'Locker Ghost' around here. There was talk of it perhaps getting worked on a while back. Dunno if it ever did or not. My crew's been hit several times in the past by ghostie, for about a quarter of a million in equipment, again, mostly smart gear.

Good luck, and hope ghostie doesn't strike again anytime soon!! ;-)

Ah flippin eck! Looks like I'll have to revise my view on Ghosts unless we can relable them Gremlins?

Hi Stooby,

I don't see those bug reports. Can you either refile them, or just send me a PM explaining what you lost?

Thanks. (boo!)
