Wow. It should not be possible to get a "cells/-1" directory. The cell numbers should start at 1, not -1. That is very suspicious. I did have to restart sagenb.org *today* (about 24 hours ago) do to the twisted server segfaulting (!) possibly somehow in response to 40 or so accounts being added in a few minutes (I have no real idea what caused the segfault -- twisted shouldn't ever segfault). > other worksheets in my small collection on my local notebook have a cells/-1 > directory. > > Dana: What exactly do you mean by the order was all messed up? > > 1.

Just refresh the page, then do "view source" and search for "cell_id_list". That will give the ordered list of cells by id number. To Dana -- you might want to try Firefox if possible -- that's what us dev's use the most, so it is the most reliable for using the notebook. Just to emphasize this, note that I think right now everybody who has done much work on the notebook in the last few months is using Linux, and Safari isn't available on Linux, so Firefox as a notebook client tends to be more well tested. -- William -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
