Site Connection

Both of those are fine with me
(I apparently just have crap timing since I hit it twice for the entire duration…)

Yeah I was unable to get onto the site for a while a few days ago as well

Looks like some script kiddie uploaded a script to this box to try a DOS for either this site or another site. It basically hosed the connection until I found out about it today. There will probably be an outage tonight while I upgrade stuff.

Hope things settle down soon…

Today was like a 10 hour outage, and I ahve lots of e-mails from folks asking for help with it…

I could not get on myself for most of the day.  Dave, what time are you planning to shut down for upgrades?

11pm PDT

Yeah, it really sucked to see it had been down for so long.

it seems a lot faster now though. or maybe its just that my computer quarintened some virus today. don’t know which but its really fast.

When it is working right, it is faster.

Much faster after the upgrade!

Hey Dave, what is up with your signature?

When I click to read “New” messages in a thread it doesn’t work.  It always brings me to the first message in the thread.

I don’t know why that doesn’t work. Sorry. I’ve spent too much time on all of this already. If you want to help out, surf www.simplemachines.org for answers and report back.

Neve rmind. I know the problem. The old forum theme is based on the old default theme which no longer works. It will be a few days before I can take the time to work on this.

Not a problem.

I can work around the couple of changes in exchange for site stability and faster response time :-D

I do like how you can edit things now right from the thread.
Like so

Last night I made some changes to the server.

One change might have made things faster. The other change used up a little extra memory (about 1%) so it might have made things slower. Has anybody noticed a difference today?

This is a question especially for switch since he’s on all the time.  :wink:

Things are still pretty much the same access speed.

Surfing is still substantially slower though by not being able to mark an entire thread as read.

Yeah, I’ll get to that. Eventually.

NP.

That is really the only thing that slows me down though.  And I have seen a couple of other comments on it, so I thought I’d mention it.
