There’s been a glitch or two for me. No connection issues with other sites.
Awful.
Getting not only database errors but hanging loadtimes. Might as well forget about trying to do a search.
I’m getting sick and tired of having to consistently refresh after “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”, to actually get a page loaded. I’m getting very sick and tired of my searches (rare, and mostly to find my own posts) getting an “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”, and then I can’t repeat it for five minutes.
This has been going on for three months or so, and in that time I have not had this problem with any other web site I go to.
I’ve never seen any of these problems, but I never visit before noon eastern time these days. Is this solely a morning thing?
Actually, right now (in GQ at least) threads are not updating when posted to. That is, there is a lengthy delay between the last post and movement up the page with the last poster listed. And that’s right now.
Every morning now, the board’s performance is craptastic. It will usually load threads, but not forums, instantly. The forums usually hang for up to 10-15 minutes and usually time out. It also resets and all of the posts are “read” again. This hasn’t really been happening to me outside of 7:45 - 8:30 AM central time.
<shrug> Everything looks fine to me, guys. Have you rebooted your PCs?
Yep, every morning visit is five minutes after booting up the PC. Every other site runs fine.
This morning is a classic example. Has hung up four times now, just trying to navigate around the forums, make answers, etc.
Almost makes you want to avoid the Board in the morning. :mad:
Database errors this morning.
ETA: For me the issue is linking the on the forum name (eg Cafe Society). If I click the link to the main page it’s fine. If I click on “last post” button on the top level thread visible from the main page in a particular forum, it’s fine. But once in that forum if I click on the forum navigation link at the top (SDMB>main>cafe society) it hangs.
Crapped out again for me earlier. Does seem to be worst in the mornings.
I suspect it’s some sort of automatic routine or job is being run, perhaps an archive of the database or somesuch.
I’m just glad that the board performance is generally better now that it’s gone free to post. Otherwise, I might have had an issue paying for horrible performance…oh wait, I did!
It was really bad yesterday, and it’s beginning to happen again this morning.
For me, too.
Same here. Last visit listed as 6 minutes ago, but every thread on the board is marked as “read”. Again.
Yep, lots of timeouts and DB errors.
Same here. It does seem to be mostly in the morning (US eastern time).
Same for me, and I rarely have the trouble here that other people seem to have, it usually works fine.
