What is wrong with the site? (Please read updated post #1)

HeidiHeidi · 04-08-2020 12:05PM

I got all the way through the last 5 pages of this thread no problem, thought it had all been fixed - until I clicked onto the last one, and got bounced back 5 pages again!

But I also got up late today to find I had no water, which in the greater scheme of things is a much bigger PITA!!

Hope they (whoever "they" are) get it all sorted soon again, don't envy them tbh.

Guys, they are aware of the issues. It's a pain in the ass for all users (and makes modding more difficult too) but please be patient.

Thanks Mr E.

We're aware of the issues, some of which are still ongoing.

I was hoping I'd have a positive update for you by now but not yet I'm afraid. Thanks for being patient, I know it's infuriating to have your unread threads increase and then revert to normal and telling you there are new posts that are actually there from last week - I'm getting the same myself here and it's a pain in the arse. I'll post an update here when I have something to tell you.

Thanks Niamh, can you stop the PMs (and subsequent emails) I'm receiving every 15 minutes about an automated ban lift please? It's going on 48 hours at this stage.

If anything instead of fixing it, ye should be making things go back about 6 months instead of 2 days. We'd have no Coronavirus to worry about then.

They know it. I'm also driving Beasty insane with one such tidally-locked PM.

mwahahahahaha

Sorry Justin Sparse Rugby I personally can't stop that but will make someone aware of it who can. That is a real nuisance, sorry about that.

It doesn’t appear like a hack to me, just that one of the backend database servers has gone out of sync. Easiest fix is to remove it from the cluster and resync the database

Cushtie · 04-08-2020 04:28PM

Has anyone shut it down and restarted it yet?

it's pretty evident that almost none of the users here hold this against the staff.

Whatever the F is going on here is clearly not your fault, so don't pay too much heed to us. Whoever is responsible, would ye try communicating? Maybe?

Rightio all, the time warp issue of seeing notifications for posts you've already read or clicking in to a thread to see new posts that then seem to have disappeared should be gone now. There may still be some SQL or 404 errors for the time being. Thanks for your patience.

Mrcaramelchoc · 04-08-2020 04:59PM

Keep getting this

An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[08004] [1040] Too many connections

And can't access my pms.

I presume its being worked on.

Touch site is practically unusable at this point

McMurphy · 04-08-2020 06:42PM

Found one of these in a shoebox in my bedroom press yesterday evening.

Maybe putting one in the meter will help?

Touch is mostly fine for me at the moment. No real issues.

Tork · 04-08-2020 08:37PM

I tried posting on the desktop version and it failed.

I haven’t been able to view the ‘My Threads’ on it all evening. SQL errors.

Tork · 04-08-2020 08:41PM

Woo....now we get Cloudflare!

04-08-2020 08:46PM

Honestly, the whole things is working perfectly for me on touch right now.

04-08-2020 08:55PM

I had a Cloudfare about 10 minutes ago too and a couple of SQLs. No Groundhog Day moments though.

I’m using touch site.

Just when we thought it couldn't get worse, Is anyone fixing this?

Spoke too soon. Got 404s for a while right after I posted that.

Leg End Reject · 04-08-2020 09:34PM

Cloudflare and a captcha, but seems to be working as normal now.
