Having dreadful trouble loading pages and posting is even slower, especially cross posting which typically timeouts.

Thought you'd want to know.

Angel Barracks31 Oct 2011 7:36 a.m. PST

I second that.

jlstuht31 Oct 2011 7:51 a.m. PST

Same on this end

Dervel Fezian31 Oct 2011 8:18 a.m. PST

same here…

galvinm31 Oct 2011 8:29 a.m. PST

Ditto.

Whole site seem to be unavailable for about 30 mins, but obviously it is back now:)

This thread in particular. Quite ironic.

Still, never mind, the most important part of TMP now seems to be working fine – the post counts. Less than 180,000 characters to go until I pass 6 million. Not sure I'll manage that before Christmas mind.

Blimey Martin … people seem to be making babies much faster than you are typing … 7 Billion of us, now, apparently …

Slow server response is also throwing up a "cookie" error when I try and restore my membership via Firefox.

Apparently the bargain server upgrade wasn't so much of a bargain.

And it timed out when making that post.

Apparently the bargain server upgrade wasn't so much of a bargain.

It was supposed to be "newer, better" – the new pricing was just a correction to current prices rather than the older, higher prices.

OK, I was working on Hobby News upgrades, but am diverting to the server issue again…

Schogun31 Oct 2011 10:37 a.m. PST

Had no problem this morning, but very slow again this afternoon.

6milPhil31 Oct 2011 10:38 a.m. PST

Five full minutes to get back to this thread…

Second post today went doolally over cross posting;
"ERROR: Crosspost database error – try again?"
Tried to cross post again but the original option had gone from the pull down list, tried another relevent forum
and got a 504 Gateway Time-out; "Gateway Time-out
The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application."

Good Luck!

It was supposed to be "newer, better"

I know, I have been on the receiving end of newer and better before. Since then I have taken the "If it aint broke" position on things.

Angel Barracks31 Oct 2011 11:03 a.m. PST

another yup.

Looks like I've come home at the right time.

A lot faster response for page and message loading – lets see how things go

Achoo – sorry folks full of cold!

Above posted fine – no lock errors

Tech support reports:

About 30 minutes ago, you were limited to 6.4 GHZ CPU and 4GB of RAM. On inspection, you are only using about 1.5GB of RAM consistently. However, your CPU usage (@6.4GHZ) is 100%. I lifted the resource limit on your CPU to 12.8GHZ and your usage immediately shot up to 9.8GHZ. This is where you're sitting now.

Let me know if this improves things.

Cross posting is slow – just put a new message on the terrain / paint / tools board and it was taking 20-30 seconds to come back with the drop down.

People often say I cross post too much anyway grin

6milPhil31 Oct 2011 1:20 p.m. PST

Browsing is a lot quicker at the mo…

e2a: posting too

Business as usual at the mo
