Server Issues

[Churumbela]

If you are getting "server busy" messages or anything similar when you try to get on @, we'd really like to hear about it! Knowing how often it is happening will make it easier for us to get it fixed.

Feel free to leave a message here, or PM myself, Jeth, ebby, Barbarella, wout, Cobweb, or Julie.

Thanks for your help!

[Stumpy]

It's seriously like once a day every day for a varying amount of time. An hour here, 5 minutes there. That supermods don't have problems prove it's a conspiracy and I will call the internet police.

Public!

[delicious dish]

I get them off and on, for various amounts of time (anywhere from a few minutes to several hours) basically every day. Most days at least a few times.

[Catie]

I just got it again for about 15 minutes. I'm with Stumpy - it happens about once a day. And it's a conspiracy. The end.

Oh, and these are okay for public.

[courey]

Had another busy page at about 4:15, lasted for about 5 minutes.
public.

[LaddyOwen]

I've had them twice today, the first one was only for a minute or two, but the second one prevented me from posting in the Estelle Getty Memorial Thread and thus felt like an eternity of sadness. :( (public)

[Churumbela]

^
Wait, I've been stuck at work all day -- Estelle Getty died?? :(

Obviously this is a major issue (the server I mean, not Estelle Getty). Thanks to everyone for letting us know the extent of the problem. We'll let Martin know.

[Meesh]

Not only have I had server issues nearly everyday ranging from 5-20 minutes, but I keep getting logged out today for some reason. I haven't cleared my cookies or anything. Don't know what that's about.

[LaddyOwen]

I think I've just had the longest lasting server message ever. Okay, maybe not 'ever' but about an hour and 20 minutes! [shock] public It may have actually been an intermittent occurrence that coincided with each and every time I tried to get back on, but I'm not sure.

[FaerieDreamer]

I was getting the error from about 11am (mountain time) till just now, 1pm.

public

[Pan.]

I just had one server issue for over an hour now.

[Autumn]

Again today over the lunch hour (11:45-ish or so). I didn't keep precise track, but the server was busy for approximately an hour.

pub

[Peter]

Just had one today for about thirty minutes. Public.

[ebby]

Thanks for keeping us informed!

Keep on letting us know - the more info we can gather the better.

It's obviously quite a widespread problem affecting paid users and regular users alike, and I can see that it's quite frustrating at times.

Thanks for your patience with @, and we'll see what we can do to try and get some resolution to the problem.

[Jamiieee]

Had one earlier around 1 PM EST.

public

[The ToriKeeper]

Today, five minutes ago, lasted about 5 minutes :(

Public :)

[lexa.]

Holy fuck. I'm sure even supermods have been affected this time. I couldn't even get the 'server busy' page.

From around 9pm last night until just now, 6:30pm the next day. UK time.

[spyk_]

OK, it's 18:38 GMT, and I've been trying to get on, every half hour or so, since 11am this morning. It's been alternating between 'server busy' messages and just not connecting to the site at all. I assume others have had this problem since there haven't been any posts since yesterday.

Public

[ZombieGirl]

(public) Server busy messages began for me Sunday 7/27 at around 2pm and continued until the site crash (page cannot be displayed) around 3:30.

[ZombieGirl]

(public) Again today around 11:30am - lasted at least 10 min

[Jim]

i never really have that many problems, but this is the first time i could post since yesterday afternoon i think.

pub(l)ic.

[Peter]

Had another one today, for about two hours. Eep.

(Public)

-P

[Churumbela]

I'm really sorry, everyone. Nothing more I can say than that. And yes, the supermods were affected, too. ;)

[Meesh]

Grrrr. This is getting really annoying. One minute the site loades and then I click a thread and server is busy. First time I've been able to post all day!

Public

[Jamiieee]

Crazy server problems since yesterday around 6 pm EST.

[Pan.]

[Crazy Don]

Tried to open "The Scandal Sheet," and here's what I got…

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/forums/public_html/includes/functions.php(5166) : eval()'d code on line 67

(public)

[Churumbela]

^
I'm getting this, too. Now I'll never know who named their kid Zuma!

[lexa.]

That happened to me this morning but I wasn't trying to get into Scandal Sheet.

I saw 'Fatal Error' and thought @ had died again!

(public)

[DarkLuna]

I'm still getting that message disallowing me from entering The Scandal Sheet, but I see other people are posting. What gives? :(

Publix.

[Cobweb]

I think that those people are responding to thread they see in their user control panel.
It looks like you're able to click on the thread from the main menu (the most current thread shown next to the Scandal Sheet on the menu) but not able to enter into the Scandal Sheet otherwise. Right now that thread is the Kathy Griffin thread, and I could enter it, no problem.
We're still working on a fix for the scandal sheet overall. Cross your fingers!

[nostril agony]

I can't enter Escandalo either :(. I don't get a message though, the browser just gets stuck.

public

[ebby]

Hey people, Cobweb might just have fixed Scandal Sheet this evening. Do let us know if you still have problems, but it loaded for me fine.

[Cobweb]

I did fix it!
It was ALL ME!*

:D


*in the event that it is not, in fact, fixed, I think it was ebby that did it.

[ebby]

You rule the school. You has the brainz and the powerz. I is afraid of u.

I totally did nothing. Like, actual nothing, as I usually completely forget Scandal Sheet exists, so I didn't really even know it was brokened. Me type the english gud.
