*poke poke poke* Someone get me a forum geek

Kelt · 11-16-2012, 09:35 PM

Hey, just a maybe heads up.

The last few days the pages in forums and gallery have been loading very slowly about 60-70% of the time. At other times I get a message that says database error, maybe 1 in 20. Earlier today I went to the gallery and a couple of the pages would not display thumbnails (cover) and I got an error message from Photopost. It was gone a little while later.

It might just be me, thought I should mention it. I use Safari on OSX, both current.

If it stays this way a few more days I will let you know.

Oh, I thought the page loading slow thing was on my end, as I have a very old desktop. I haven't had any errors, though. Just the slow loading about half the time and just over the past couple days.

I do recall Medusa posting something a couple days ago about the site having some wonkiness going on, so maybe it correlated.

We've been under attack and swamped by spammers and those trying to break into the forums. This is the kind of DoS (Denial of Service) can cause performance issues. I'm hopeful that things will settle down when they realize that they cannot get anywhere here and will give up on us.

Thanks Linus...I was starting to believe my iPhone was possessed...

Performance has been much better since we closed the registration for a bit.

Linus is on top of this shit, y'all! And I'm glad because these space rats trying to break into our shit don't know who they're fucking with

A quick note of something that just started for me this morning.

The rep comments are not going through, I can bring up and type a comment but not apply it. The thanks button works fine.

Started for me this morning and is still the case this afternoon.

Thanks for all you do.

Worked for me just now. What browser are you using? Did you change or update anything recently?
