Accidental Bug
Richard Rost

Sorry if you got a DECLINE notice today. My bad.

Hey folks, sorry if anyone got an email from me today saying that your membership payment was declined. That was totally my fault. I was working on the database yesterday and made one little teeny tiny change and completely goofed up the credit card processing portion of my software.

This just goes to show that you should test, test, test, and test again anytime you make a change in critical software, no matter how simple you think the change is.

For those of you who want the technical details, I literally adjusted one line of code that checks to see if the expiration date is 4 digits long because my credit card processor is very picky and only accepts a 4-digit expiration date, like 1124. If I send it 112024, it doesn't like that and will decline the order.

So that's all my fault, my bad. Problem fixed. My system is reprocessing all of today's memberships.

I feel better now. If it happens to the Master, it is ok when it happens to me. Thank you for sharing.

I always test my code several times. Occasionally a bug still gets through.
The joys of coding.
