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

whatismyname · 08-10-2015 12:06am

Thanks for the updates. Had been fine for me but going very wonky again this evening.

Keep telling me I have unread notifications of threads that haven't got new posts.

New Home · 08-10-2015 12:35am

If it's of any help to those 'in the know', the time machine goes back to posts between 22:39 and 22:54 and thereabouts.

It's like a real life version of the last episode of Futurama. :rolleyes: :cool:

TherapyBoy · 08-10-2015 12:35am

Having problems in the MMA forum just now, was working fine for me all day otherwise.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 08-10-2015 12:46am

Sites back to the way it was a few days ago.

404's (mostly on the touch site)

Same page showing up over and over.

Darkglasses · 08-10-2015 12:48am

Wonking on me right now too.

CollyFlower · 08-10-2015 12:54am

I hear the site is being revamped, could that be why it's messed up?

languagenerd · 08-10-2015 1:28am

I'm also getting tons of 404s and missing posts on Touch tonight - it had been fine since Monday night til now. Having to refresh threads 5 or 6 times to see the latest posts, and getting "invalid post ID" error messages when I try edit my own new posts for typos.

The_fever · 08-10-2015 1:32am

404 city

Shield · 08-10-2015 2:23am

So far:

List of threads showing up as being unread when I've read them all
Posts remaining where they are when I try to delete them
Searching PMs yields no results, even though there are plenty from <user> to be seen upon viewing PM inbox
All threads in forum disappearing and reappearing
A generic "Database Error" screen when trying to use Modutils

Hope these details are helpful in some way.

Overheal · 08-10-2015 3:28am

Tonight seeing 'stale' pages - which means I see new post notifications that are minutes old/already read, when I read a thread and write a post to it, I am taken back to the first instance of the page before I posted, sometimes 5 minutes or longer afterward, after repeated full refreshes.

Second Toughest in_the Freshers · 08-10-2015 5:22am

Something something hamsters on strike until 3am break restored

Oryx · 08-10-2015 6:03am

Getting 404s and old pages again

jank · 08-10-2015 6:52am

Posts and thanks have disappeared.

Penny Tration · 08-10-2015 7:18am

Thanks not showing, and threads hopping back three pages. When you hit the button to go to the last page, it brings you three pages back still.

Also got a failure when trying to send a pm , one I hadn't seen before

shanec1928 · 08-10-2015 7:21am

404s like everyone else.

degsie · 08-10-2015 7:24am

Site's banjaxed!

Penny Tration · 08-10-2015 7:40am

Hopping back in time by nine hours now.

Exclamation Marc · 08-10-2015 7:41am

Getting some 404s here too or loading up a thread where I've unread posts (stating most recent unread post X mins ago) but no no new posts are visible since a post X hours ago.

Timberrrrrrrr · 08-10-2015 7:42am

404 here too and followed threads acting up. Going back a few pages instead of to last post read

Stheno · 08-10-2015 7:46am

404 errors, threads not updating, last posts duplicating all happening for me

Yep seeing this happen all the time since yesterday as well. It takes several reload attempts to be able to view the latest post.

08-10-2015 8:28am

My Threads on touch is showing me posts from 10 hours ago as unread. Have to keep reloading the page to get the current posts.

Conor Bourke · 08-10-2015 8:33am

It's happening again

Menas · 08-10-2015 8:44am

I keep on getting notifications that I have a PM.

I think - 'great!' - but when I click on it there is nothing there and the notification goes away only to come back after a short while. :mad:

Posy · 08-10-2015 9:01am

Lots of 404s again this morning, threads jumping back in time, repetition of threads when clicking "next page" and users who thanked posts are not being shown.

Same here . I keep getting notifications of new messages and comments on my followed threads ....... I check in ........ nothing !!!!

This was happening all over the weekend too. Also when you want to go onto the next page it just keeps bringing you back to the last !

BOARDS where is your tech support ??? Why is nobody doing anything ??

OldGoat · 08-10-2015 9:09am

Hamsters, gerbils. Axolotls! Grrrant, Grrrrage.

I need a breakfast cocktail to make my morning better. What time does the Gin Palace open? Impromptu Beers anyone?

Ah here. I've stayed relatively quiet about the issues until now, but this is just not fucking on if this is true.

Facebook likes don't do it for me and CiF recommends on the Guardian are nigh on impossible to get.

I need validation.

This is happening me on Touch site as well and can't see newer posts, site is OK for me on desktop so far today.

Dav · 08-10-2015 10:04am

We're on the case folks, I'm afraid I don't even have a preliminary "it might be this..." for you yet.

WHAT?? Hamsters, ok. Gerbils, fair enough, they're probably only hired as temps, or are doing an internship.... but axolots, I ask you! Who hired them?? They're not even rodents, what would they know of wheels?? Oh, they're consultants, are they? Well, that explains it, then...

Consider yourself validated.

Why does that suddenly sound dirty?

GLaDOS · 08-10-2015 10:05am

Seems to be ok on my laptop this morning.

08-10-2015 10:07am

Not ok on iPad !

Oh that's one easy; it's in the multiplexer in the back end of the relationship database's complexity matrix in the load balancing unit in the firewall's firmware having a reaction with the server's RAM set up in the second module's third memory bank due to a bug introduced by vbulletin in the latest security patch.

Complex it up enough and all they will say is "And when will you fix it?"

Gremlinertia · 08-10-2015 11:22am

Still glitchy on touch and full site, not sure what exactly is going on but it isn't coming up to latest posts.

I suppose we've already looked under /var/log/ for possible disk/filesystem issues? It's sort of like the RDBMS is having trouble keeping things in shape, possibly due to problems with mass-storage?

jprboy · 08-10-2015 11:28am

Still having problems.

Getting logged out periodically.

Recent posts disappearing and then reappearing after a refresh or five

listermint · 08-10-2015 11:36am

It still in bits, not as many bits as it was earlier this week. But its certainly in bits. jumping between page selections, never ever going to last read message link.

Not good. Defrag time ?

Proper, grown-up servers do not "defrag".

seamus · 08-10-2015 11:39am

Still definitely a database syncing issue.

Dav · 08-10-2015 11:45am

Update for you, the cause is still under investigation, but the databases were all re-synced and we're hoping that's sorted the worst of it. Obviously, our pressing concern is to find out what's causing them to go out of sync and fix it.

There was also an issue with Avatars not showing that we've sorted.

I'll keep you posted.

Harry Palmr · 08-10-2015 11:55am

Oh noes the avatars!

Tis unusual for a glitch to be so persistently hard to isolate.

Synode · 08-10-2015 12:06pm

All the problems are back again in full swing. Missing posts, notifications of new posts that are in fact old etc etc

The same here and I'd like to add that I also can't quote any posts because they're invisible.:(

Ursus Horribilis · 08-10-2015 12:15pm

It's like last weekend all over again I'm afraid. I'm posting this from a computer. My previous post seems to have vanished into the ether.

my3cents · 08-10-2015 12:29pm

For me its worse than last weekend. Last weekend the site was usable but now its getting so its unusable with posts not showing, pages not showing and false notifications of new posts. Will this post show up?

kneemos · 08-10-2015 12:34pm
