Site access issues recently

I think he's referring to the first link in the navbar.

 

[johnny]

Yeah he is. That button that now says "what's new" used to say "New Posts". I think the button still does the exact same thing but now just has a different name. So those of us that, like me, used to just hit the New Posts button when browsing should now continue hitting that same button regardless of what it has written on it. If you switch to hitting new posts where it sits now you'll get a different response than you used to when hitting new posts when it was the button.


and I think I'm just repeating what others have already said now so at this point I might just shut up!

In case anyone is wondering about the small outages this morning I've just been playing with some server settings in a bid to get some more performance. Routing everything through cloudflare is good for a few things, but performance doesn't seem to be one of them.

 

[Scott]

I made a few tweaks last night that should hopefully improve the site overall speed.

Thanks Scott! :high5:

Not sure if it's a related issue or not, but visiting the forums would mark all new posts as 'read' after the session, such that when i returned a few hours later, there would only be bold, new posts for those posted in the last few hours. Now, unless i physically tick 'mark all posts as read' new posts aren't marked as red regardless of how many times I visit the site

Has some setting perhaps reset itself in the upgrade process?

RB was offline last night - any issues or just a random outage?

 

[Cardy George]

I was starting to think it was me. Two shared links, two outages over separate weekends.

Wasn't me this time

Nobody wants to finish work at midnght and discover the internet has gone to bed.

Same here, I got home around 6pm and the site was off, still off around 11pm. Similar outage (but shorter duration) last weekend IIRC...

Yeah, it was pretty fucked, had to stick with the real world for a while. That sucked

I had the same issues as well, but pretty sure the site was down for longer last night.

Yep, I couldn't access The House of the 'Burn last night. Was still farrked well after midnight...
So glad it's back....I was starting to sweat, vomit & self-harm.

I was starting to worry I'd have to interact with real people.

Scott tripped over the servers powercord pulled it out but didn't realise.

Another big site outage - anything major went wrong?

Are we getting any kind of rebate on our subscriptions? With these outages I don’t think it’s fair we pay full price and don’t get the service.

 

[Tubbsy]

We’re mining bitcoins for the moderator Christmas drinks.

This is painfully on topic while I deal with a bunch of humidity affected equipment at work. So frustrating people think equipment warranty should cover exposure to >90% RH.

Look closely at that picture, ups Fan is still running and churning up the the water. Now that’s cool. (Btw that’s a random google image search result, not my picture)
