A log of my posts across the forums.

Hey everyone!  I need your help in resolving some forum loading issues.  Some people have complained that certain pages have failed to load, loaded only halfway, or loaded only specific sections and not others.  Others are complaining that some pages take forever to load or are very slow in general.

However, I have had troubles finding a common ground for what may be causing these issues, so I'm hoping you guys can help.

For anyone that has problems loading the forums, notices slowdown, or sees all or parts of the forum missing (eg: the Recently Active Posts section), please post here with the following information:

What happened? (did the page not load, did it load halfway or only certain sections, or something else?)
When this happened (date and time, preferably in EST; if not, please post your timezone)
Which page this happened on (URL too, if possible)
Were you logged in?
Did you refresh or click on a link to get to the page with the issue?
Screenshot (if necessary, if someone has already posted one, or it's similar to the screenshot I linked to above, just say so)
What browser/OS you are using (version numbers too, eg: Firefox 3.0.11, you can usually find this by clicking on Help at the top of the browser then About).

If there are any errors that are returned, or anything else that seems strange or off, please post about those too.

Thanks again to anyone that helps with this!

Bara

Once the recent active post was gone from Demigod General last few minutes.

Was trying to reply as well as browse. I will see if this reply goes through.

Nope didn't go through first time. No responses. Firefox just say loading...

2nd time, 500 Forum went Egards. Now time is 00:45 GMT.

Also got "Drat! Something went wrong while we were trying to save your changes. Please wait a moment and try again." during editing of another post.

 

Edit:

Got "Drat! Something went wrong while we were trying to save your changes. Please wait a moment and try again." again as I edit. 00:48 BST

Sorry GMT I meant to say BST (British summer time)

A couple minutes ago (1:25 Central)

Tried to load the sins modding forum

I was logged in

I clicked the link on the main forum and refreshed, same result

Using 64bit Vista with Firefox 3.0.11

 

When trying to go to the mod forum or most other pages, it takes forever and then it only loads the stickies and leaves the thread list completely blank.

 

 

exacly the same for me as well.

What happened? Demigod General has no topics in it, only pinned posts and subcategories. Site loads even longer than usual (>>30 seconds).


When this happened A few minutes ago (GMT+1: 11:05 AM, 5:05 AM EST?). It's still down though, usually for a few hours (same thing happened on the last two weekends, roughly about the same time).


Which page this happened on http://forums.demigodthegame.com/forum/469


Were you logged in? In Firefox, not in Opera and IE.


Did you refresh or click on a link to get to the page with the issue? Bookmark, hard refresh (CTRL+F5) didn't solve the problem.


Screenshot

large version


What browser/OS you are using: XP SP3, Firefox 3.0.11, Opera 9.64, Internet Exploiter 8.

PS: Still not working: 06:43 EST.

Ok guys, we're going to try something. We have reason to believe that one of our servers may be the cause of the problem, so we've turned it off. Please let me know if you experience page load problems related to the "Recently Active Posts" not loading over the next few days. If it does, then we'll try turning that server back on and turning the one the forums are on now off. This way we can rule out server issues and hardware problems.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Do you mean "my replies" by "recently active posts" ? Because I have no page called the latter. At the moment all is fine for me, even General, but we'll see how it goes. I'll be sure to post when I encounter any problems. I'll also be more patient with pages loading, as with only 1 server on it might take bit longer than usual.

Demigod General doesn't load properly now like on Saturdays:

<- clicky

PS: I noticed each time this happens the loading time increases by a few seconds. Hope that helps. Thanks for looking into it Bara!

Did this happen recently?  As in today?  Or was it earlier?
