Site Performance

[Luba]

I'm on for a moment. Sure hope things are better tomorrow.

For sure.

[Luba]

I don't want to speak too soon, but it timed out only once since I've been on, and I've been able to make four posts with no trouble...

[Duke]

I'll be on for a bit but right now it seems like things are back to normal.

I sure hope it lasts.

This is the latest feedback from Tech Support:

Hello,

I noticed the port flapping on the network switch side, but not the server side. We had a tech replace the cable, and it is no longer doing this. Let me know if the issue persists, but I have not been able to see it since this change.

Regards,

Adam

Hopefully that was the source of the issue.

It's too soon to tell right now for sure but the page reloads seem back to normal regardless of what task is being performed onsite.

[Luba]

It seems to be running well this evening.

[Duke]

Ya it looks to me like they got it sorted out.

[Luba]

2:43 a.m. looks good as soon as I checked in.

[LovingSpirit]

5:15 am mountain time and all is looking well for the moment. Going to see if I can post anywhere else.

[Luba]

It's JUST love-ly this morning!

[Duke]

I'm pretty sure the problem is fixed now, phew.

One less thing to stress about.

[Duke]

The site was down for an undetermined amount of time early this morning. I'm still unsure as to why so I'll update you all when I know more.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Luba]

I don't know how long it was out, I tried the once and I couldn't get on.

[LovingSpirit]

The test forum was down too.

[Duke]

The entire server was completely down which effects all sites the same.

Howdy!

I was ready the FAQ and several bits about the forum rules.

This part:

"The following rule set is based on common sense and is in place to protect you, your fellow members, our valued guests and our website. The following only applies to new members of Lifesupporters.com with 10 forum posts or less. Once 10 posts has been achieved the following restrictions are automatically lifted:

• Offsite Linking strictly prohibited
• Limited use of our Private Messaging System
• Unable to view Community Chatbox (5 posts or less)

The remainder of our forum rules that apply to everyone, can be found here."

The links in the last sentence do not work

It says "Invalid FAQ Item specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator".

[Duke]

Good catch Rox and thanks for the heads up. I must have screwed something up the last time I was updating the FAQ because the previous links were way off as compared to the current values, no idea why

Anyway, it's been corrected and if you should notice anymore dead links, please do not hesitate to bring it to my attention.

Thanks again

All sites were down for roughly 30 - 45 minutes this morning between the hours of 5:00 - 5:45 AM EST. I'm still not sure what was the reason the server was down and currently have Tech. Support looking into the issue.

All servers go down now and then for various reasons so this is probably no more than a hiccup but if it is more serious I'll be sure to update you all.

Thank you for your patience.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone noticed if the load times here have increased over the past few days?

Pretty good here!

I haven't had any problems. My only problems have been with Chrome and lots of times lately, only on Lifers, I get an error that the page can't be loaded, no data was sent. That is frustrating but I don't know what you can do about it.

[Snooks]

Doh! I should have thought to mention here rather than sending you a pm

Just reporting that for the past 48-72 hrs there has been a time lag of 10-20 secs opening the front page of the forum, on many occasions.

I have only noticed this on LS, it hasnt been noticed on any other site, inclduing oFear. I dont know if its your end or my computer.

I noticed some performance issues this weekend but they were Internet wide so I know my issue was certainly ISP related. I also had trouble sending/receiving e-mail but I have to check out every site performance issue thoroughly.

I was in WHM last night and noticed that all Server Loads appeared normal but I'll be sure to monitor it a little more closely.

If at any time anyone experiences any other site performance issues, please do not hesitate to post them here.

Thanks.

[Duke]

The Server was down for between 4 - 6 hrs. March 14/12 and still doesn't appear as if it's working correctly.

I'm in contact with Tech. Support and will update you all once they find the issue.

[Duke]

So as it turns out, vbseo was the problem, big surprise.

A few sites are giving us issues at this time and will be dealt with over the next few days. Any site that does not have a "Suspended Page" on it is fine and working normally.

So far the only sites that appear to be affected are movie-talk.net and nukemods.com.

[Snooks]

I tried from 3.05am until 4.55am this morning and all 3 sites i checked were inoperable. Simply returned Server Error, site not found.

I sent you an email this morning
