Log of site issues

[Marvin D.]

Indeed, I just had to wait twenty seconds for the response page for a PM to load

[Graces4you]

I don't think it's gotten faster for me at all. I initially blamed the slowness on the fact I had so many tabs open, but alas that was not the case. Pages have been taking 2-3 minutes to load for me.

[Jehoshaphat]

It has been speeding up then slowing down seemingly without cause.

[snubs]

Yeah, what Jehoshaphat said. I thought it was speeding up... but then it slowed down again after a few minutes. Been doing that off and on.

Today it was extremely slow.

Sorry guys, it was fixed briefly after I contacted Dreamhost and I assume it had been rectified and then was notified that it wasn't permanent and was just a brief fix. Dreamhost is going to move my sites to another server, though I don't have a time frame on when this will happen, but the issue appears to be hardware related. I have a Virtual Server which shares architecture with multiple other servers, and something on the system is causing our virtual server to receive very limited resources. Moving it to a new server should rectify the issue. I'll update you once I know more. Thanks for your patience!

You done goofed, Shadowpaw. Or someone did, because this is what the ToO looked like when I just logged on:

I think someone broke the birthday box.

[Woody]

The birthday box only shows up when there is a birthday

That screenshot got cut off for some reason...lemme just post a link.

Anyways, as you can see, the error is quite obviously coming from something related to birthdays. Besides, the page still runs code to determine whether to show the birthday box or not, so it makes sense that there would be an error even if it wasn't anyone's birthday.

Good to know, Shadowpaw. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Is it still like that for you? It could just be the board style you are using. I see no error on Greyscale.

[DanP740]

I use that style, and everything's normal.

[Catspaw]

Thanks for the update, Shadowpaw. Apparently we all needed the reminder that patience is a virtue. Yay for being able to use lots of tabs at the same time!

[Laurie]

Thank you Shadowpaw. I will try to be patient. I don't spend a lot of time here anyway and I can always read a book.

Speed has noticeably improved for me suddenly within the last five minutes. Nowhere near back to normal, but definitely faster than it had been. (Faster than a standstill is still extremely slow; it’s a step in the right direction though.)

[Catspaw]

Yes, right now it's working at an almost-normal speed that is entirely tolerable. Yay! A little slower, but not much.

[bookworm]

Indeed, currently things are functioning entirely normally. Hope it’s permanent!

[snubs]

It's been going up and down for me (speed wise). Nothing has been steady.

[Woody]

It's still pretty slow for me...

[Marvin D.]

It's marginally faster than before, but still rather slow, even for my standards

[Laurie]

Same here.

[bookworm]

Yeah, definitely relapsed from how it was last time I was on. I knew it would slow down some eventually, that blazing speed was atypical, but it shouldn’t have dropped this much. This is just barely better than it was before! Very disappointing.
I would assume the sudden boost before was the server migration Shadowpaw mentioned, so clearly that did work, for a while. Hopefully the new lag is just the filesystem catching up to the move and it will work itself out soon.
