Angie and I were discussing this yesterday. We believe the explosive growth of the site and posting has been taxing the database along with the spammers trying to get in. We're contemplating upgrading the server to more memory and CPU as well as 64-bit with an eventual upgrade to 5 while keeping the same feel/look. Additionally, we're also looking at creating an "archive" location to put some of the older threads as well as having a few threads archive due to their size but still allowing members to access the threads at any time (not necessarily posting to them)

Or is this something else I can chalk up to mercury retrograde?

Gemme & Semantics....I,too, am getting them in inordinate amounts as well. Something else funky that has happened twice today is when I was trying to log on, I used my SN and password, BUT it said invalid user ID or password BUT sent me to homepage, and I went to my page and it said "logging on"......soooo

Linus, on some threads, esp with a post with multiple images in them, that seems to sluggishly move til I am past said post. Sometimes a page will have two or three posts with multiple images in them, sandwiched between different posts/users....so it goes warp speed, then sluggish, then warp...etc.
I noticed it will do same thing on the Music posts thread. Just offering up some FYI

Hello,
I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but for the past few days I have been getting database errors about half of the time while pages are loading. I thought I'd give you guys a heads up in case it isn't just on my end.
Thanks!


P.S. Like now; when I try to submit the reply; now I'm not sure if it will show up 2x or not at all.

Good to know.


I'm always happy to learn I haven't earned a spot on a site's miserable users list (because I wondered). :|

Good luck with it.

Gaige and I both have been getting a lot of Data Base Error messages. Mine seems to be primarily when I try to go to "User CP". In the last half hour, I am not able to access "User CP" at all.

JustBeingMe 02-28-2013 09:18 PM

Linus, sorry but I sent you an email with a screen shot from Chrome. I am getting tons of Database errors when trying to load up the website or signing in, or even trying to go into a thread and post or go between threads. pages are not acting correctly,ie I used the thanks button, it disappeared but didnt' show up as a thanks. Pages loading with huge amount of lagging and tying up my browser. I dont know what's going on. This has happend tons today and yesterday. I am glad to know it's not just me that's having Database errors.

Linus 02-28-2013 09:28 PM

Everyone we are aware of what's going on. We are working on it. We believe it is a denial of service as it's consistent at a specific time each day.

Admin 02-28-2013 09:47 PM

Looks like the pmtext table crashed which is causing the usercp issue. Running a repair...

Kelt 03-03-2013 04:09 PM

Quick question; I know a few months back a rule was established as to how many posts a user had to have before initiating threads. How many was that?

I checked in the TOS and did not see it there; also could not find a thread for it.

Linus 03-03-2013 05:04 PM

30. See this thread: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...ead.php?t=5692

Kelt 03-03-2013 05:18 PM

Thank you, sorry I missed it. Perhaps it could be placed somewhere that would be easier for someone new to the site to find?

Unfortunately, I don't have any brilliant idea as to where that might be though... :thinking:

Linus 03-03-2013 05:47 PM

I'll see about putting into a welcoming PM that could be received by new members upon joining.

JustBeingMe 03-04-2013 10:22 PM

I am getting Database errors for the site every time I try to post a reply to a thread or move between threads. Also, the pages are taking for ever to load when they do load.

Justy I can't be sure but I think it might have something to do with testing things out?

I don't know, but the database errors keep happening and the site is really slow and some times does not respond, I have to reload the page.
I've tried clearing my browser history and cache, but to no avail.

Linus 03-05-2013 12:06 AM

The database is acting wonky. It may take some time for it to settle down fully.

Help!
 
My partner is having trouble signing in and passing the standard questions? Can someone help? She can't remember her password and the questions she is getting wrong.

They can recover their password by going here: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru....php?do=lostpw

meridiantoo 03-06-2013 07:26 PM

She doesn't know what email she used to register :blink:


She's trying to make it through the prompt questions....how many fingers on a human hand? 4 or 5? Both were incorrect

How many letters in the United States? 8 separate letters, 12 total letters? both were incorrect.
