Board performance problems

Regularly scheduled system backup. It’s been going on for years, it’s nothing new, it’s not an indication of trouble in the system, it would be more troublesome if it didn’t happen.

Removal of a spam post and the spam report. We delete spam from the board. Again, not a system problem, it’s the way the system is supposed to work. We don’t allow spam to remain on the board.

Zapped again. Not happening every single time now but most log-ins.

You lucky bastard.

And zapped again.

This is bizarre. Not zapped completely again but rather only my Subscribed threads in MPSIMS are marked as Read. And my Last Visited time is showing correctly, about 8-1/2 hours ago. This is probably even more bizarre than a total zapping but has happened before. Seriously, no one can figure out what’s causing this?

I’ve gotten a few (say, 10-ish) 500 errors over the last couple days, but it always fixes itself on a quick F5. just FYI.

Yeah, I get those from time to time. At least they don’t wipe out all my New Posts.

Zapped. First time in a couple of weeks. I knew it was too good to last.

Zapped again. It’s really coming fast and furious now.

Those Internal and/or 500 errors have been ramping up in the past day or two as well.

I’ve been getting zapped a lot lately too.

Have any of you tried clearing your cache? I did that and had no zapping for probably two weeks, which was a really long time, and then when it did happen again it was much less frequently. Which of course could be coincidence. I haven’t been zapped since last Monday and I log on several times a day.

Yes, I have. I am constantly clearing my cache. In fact, I’ve tried everything except burying a cat in the backyard at midnight, and I’m set to try that tonight. I am convinced the problem is NOT on MY end. Nowhere else do I have this problem.

What he said, except for the cat-burying bit.

Zapped again. Multiple times a day now.

Weird. It struck only lately, and only for two days. Hasn’t happened since.

Computers! Can’t live without 'em, and can’t eat 'em for breakfast.

Burying the cat seems to have worked. For today, at least.

What’s wrong with the search engine today? I just tried half a dozen times to do a basic word-in-my-posts search going back only one month and I got an error message every time.

Try burying a cat in your backyard at midnight.

I live in a condo. :frowning:
