None so far today. One yesterday; it was fine a bit later.
This happened to me three times today. 502 and 504 errors.
today was my worst day and it’s not even 11 AM
Today is really, really horrible.
It’s really bad for me today. It’s been at least a couple of weeks since I saw a timeout error, but this morning it’s happened several times.
It’s terrible today.
Today is absolutely awful, perhaps the worst ever.
About 15 or 16 years ago, the Boards were just as bad. At the time, the problem was (I think) the need for a server upgrade. The second problem was how to pay for it since the SDMB had (?still has) a budget of about zero dollars.
Many people offered to donate but TPTB turned them down.
I am posting this to say that I am still very willing to ante up some bucks if that’s what it takes to solve the Board’s technical problems. I expect that I am not alone in this.
Seriously, and with no snark, I ask - can we take up a collection?
I got 5 on it.
If it fixes this problem, I would do that.
This is really interesting; because it’s fine for me today.
I don’t know whether hitting it with this multiquote reply will trigger any problem.
[ETA: Nope. Posted just fine. – if this edit hangs, I’ll come back to note that; otherwise not.]
I’m thinking that is quite possible that having a username, a last name, and/or an email addy that starts with a letter at the beginning of the alphabet was a big benefit in making it through the crashed dbase table problem.
Yeah, I think so, too. I was having the usual problems with slow loading and timeouts earlier today but it got better a few hours ago. Apparently the board totally crashed for many (most?) users at around that time.
A lot of members are unable to post anything at the moment; so says Jenny on FB.
I saw the FB thing, too, and I’m mostly posting to see if I can.
I’m in.
How?
I’m in.
Hey let’s have a secret party while everyone is not here!!
W0ot!
Hey, I’m in! A little while ago, the database was down (or something)
So we have the As and the Bs.
Any Cs?
Oh wait Leaffan doesn’t fit.
So much for the alphabetical theory.
