Big bug on my account! Help me squash it! (in General)

Alright heres the bug: I can't access my character. When I click on the link in my profile to "Joel" I get a server error. I get the same error when trying to access my retired accounts as well as any one elses characters. MY favorites won't load. I can't get to a fight list. When I press "Equip" it comes up with: No un-retired characters.
I can't access Businesses, Recent Battles, Auctions, and Clans. The rest of the quick links work. I need to get to play again!! Admins help me!! I want to FIGHT!!! WROAAARRR!!!!

More details on bug: I remember when it happened now. It happened when my main character, Joel, was retired. I came to check on it a little later and I got this same server error. I hope that helps find the root of this problem!

ONE MORE THING! I started an NCB character, just now, and it appeared in my Active Character drop-down list. I still couldn't access it in any way. I tried relogging and it disappeared! I just retired it afterwards since nothing changed and I still can't play.

Are you still having an issue? It seems like you need to make sure that you have at least one active character.

Joel's character Joel has been active throughout this entire process.

I know I have Joel unretired because I can see my profile and its in the list of active characters, but my active character list is empty and relogging, refreshing, cache clearing, and different browsers haven't fixed the problem.

This'll probably fix itself at cache flush, but I'll try to flush you out now. Give me a minute.

can you get to the train page?

Nope, the train and equip pages are broke as well as the weapons and armor shops.

I flushed your best party, and it now returns 133673, which should be your main party. Refresh your whole sidebar and see what happens.

I refreshed the side bar and the entire page refreshed >.> but still nothing...

Found the problem.. one sec

Ok, so it was your default_party, not your best_party, that was fouled up. That's fixed. See if that's the last remaining problem.

Any idea how you got into that way? Somehow, your default party wasn't being updated properly.

YAY!!!! IT WORKS!!!! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!

I have no idea exactly how it happened, but it happened during the confusion of my break from the game. AS soon as my character was unretired the bug appeared.

So maybe the admin unretire function doesn't set your default party... Seems reasonable. Admin functions are generally poorly maintained.

Welcome home btw!
