How about an update?
Up until yesterday, the forums should have been running a lot better with fewer-to-no errors.
As of yesterday, and especially today, you should have seen the slowness come back and possibly some of the other errors. These are being hammered on right now. I was told the slowness should be resolved or nearly resolve) with the exception of getting database errors. They are working on the databse errors now.
Were things running better prior to yesterday?
Brad!
More reliable I guess, but still very slow compared to most forums and much slower than it used to be. Definitely not as bad as today though.
Second that. Almost 30 seconds to refresh the page.
Good news! Down to about 5 seconds per page...
Instant post! Great!!!
Seems to be getting better finally.
We should be operating a lot smoother at this point. If not, we should probably start a new thread title "October Issues" or something....
:)
Thanks,
Brad!
I was just coming back to delete my post. It's back to about a 30 second response time.
my post took way too long to post as well... two steps forward, one and a half back....
:)
Um...what were the two steps forward?
(No offense to your work Brad)
:D

Actually, quite a bit has been done. I could pull up the list of some of the things the developers and admins have done. There has really been a number of things.
The most recent was adding even more hardware. That seems to have helped.
The last two things that I know occurred were (1 step) Adding memory to existing servers and (2nd step) Adding new servers.....
So there is one example of the most recent two steps.... :)
Brad!
If the site would be just a little bit slower I could probably fall asleep in front of the computer. :o
I think there are times when it is slow enough for you to accomplish that anyway Marius.... ;) :)
Site is still Slow, and every second page is giving me a DB error..
Getting lots of errors today too!
ugh. Can you verify if there is any specific info when you get the DB errors? Plus, can you tell me what you were doing?
Thanks.
- It started this morning with CSS problems. CodeGuru took about 30 seconds to load per page. However, once loaded, the CSS was completely missing. Everything was just jumbled text down the whole page.
- After that, I tried opening both the client-side and server-side forums. They two took about 30 seconds without CSS loading.
- I then tried to refresh each page. That resulted in an error and SQL dump...but I didn't bother to copy it down. Something about session_id if I recall. Unfortunately, that fieldname is common and I would expect that in almost every web application with a login system that I would write.
- Then I tried to reply in this thread but the Quick Reply kept taking forever. Attempting to refesh brought back the database errors.
was getting Db errors similar to this one posted here and this one here..Quote:

However the last few days, it seems that this problem is not reoccurring..
I should say that I haven't had a DB Error message for quite a while now - a week or two
Well, I haven't had a DB Error messages since a couple of weeks either.
Now I hope they will fix some other serious bugs like:
- "wrong" text wrap (if not say no text wrap at all!) in the edit window...
- absence of tree from 19 smile icons in the smiley dropdown in the toolbar.
Absoutely! The forum just crashed again while I was replying to a user's post (in the C++ forum) and I had to wait eight (yes, EIGHT) minutes before I could access the forums again to see if my post had succeeded.Quote:

I'm definitely going to start looking for another programmer's forum now. This problem's been going on for way too long.
