Performance Issues

Post by FishPants »

I'm pretty sure the weird network response is @ the data center (I've opened a ticket), but rebooting this bad boy to be certain.

Back soon!

UPDATE: Provider has indicated their network under a DDoS attack from a large botnet.. They are working to block it upstream.

Can't get an SSH session to stick due to the timeouts.. Definitely looks network related, in the event I can get in long enough to reboot, I will so don't be surprised if it's offline for a minute or two.

Your server down message appears to be out of date. :P
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Maybe im missing something, or you started your day with a quick pint of scotch but that really doesn't clear things up for me.

At any rate I've updated the board to the latest rev of phpbb3, if there's any weirdness let me know. This thread will move to Meta shortly if there are no further performance issues from the DDoS.

There was a message saying something about congrats you've reached the new page with (what I would assume) was an indication you were monitoring the transition and posting the progress at "17:35 EST" or something similar.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

That's weird. Thanks for the heads up, I'll go look for what the heck caused that.

More along the lines of "Congratulations! You've reached the new server. Migration at 1735 hours." lasted four or five minutes.

Also, something got screwed up in Tapatalk. It was showing me a message from a forum I highly doubt I'm supposed to see.

Tapatalk was updated as well; is that still showing up for you? Or did you happen to catch it midstream?

Ok I deleted TP and reinstalled manually (No automod crap). On my droid everything looks as it should when not logged in. Can you confirm the same on your side?
No.

I don't see anything I shouldn't on mine.
wot?

To be fair, adolescent power fantasy tripe is way easier to write than absurd existential horror, and every community has got to start somewhere... right?

Unless one loses a precious thing, he will never know its true value. A little light finally scratches the darkness; it lets the exhausted one face his shattered dream and realize his path cannot be walked. Can man live happily without embracing his wounded heart?

To be clear you can only see that and not the "Moderator Naked Photos" section correct?
