Apologies - Forums running very slow (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bryant]

Hi Folks,

Apologies as our forums are continuing to run very slow.

We've got an escalated ticket in with https://xenforo.com/ that hosts the forums. We pay them for using the software and also to host the forums and they are working on the issue. They are normally very responsive and we hope to have a solution soon.

Thanks for the patience.

Please give this post a "like" or thumbsup if you're experiencing the slow performance as well.

I hadn't noticed. Kidding. But yeah the last couple days seem to be the worst yet. If I wanna check the forums I just open the homepage and then go do something else for a little bit, lol. Not even a joke really.

I grew up in the age of dial up waiting 45 minutes to watch 45 second videos on Ebaum’s World, hoping someone upstairs didn’t pick up the phone and ruin my download.

So it’s kind of nostalgic.

I think they have or are addressing it now. Sites zooming now.

Rumor has it they deleted the Josh Gordon thread as it’s 679 pages we’re using all the bandwidth.

How am I supposed to work like this?!

 

[Joe Bryant]

Is it working ok for y'all now?

Suddenly started working as normal for me.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

Yes

I can log in to the forums quickly now, instead of taking 47 seconds (I timed it earlier today) for the site to process my username/password.

That was well played Sir. Well played.

I'm getting intermittent messages that say Gateway 503 time out. I dont know who Gateway 503 is, but they must've done something pretty bad to get a time out from Joe and have it be publicly announced like that.

I'm guessing that the first 502 Gateways are already banned.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Mines good. Thanks.

Great. Thank you. Apologies for the trouble earlier.

 

[fatness]

Is anyone else getting delays when clicking to check Notifications, or to give thumbs? I'm getting minor delays, like 10 seconds or less.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

its fixed. congrats to support.

Did they give you a reason why they forgot to feed the hamsters?

Like a shiny new sports car, thanks @Joe Bryant

Thanks for listening to FBG's, jumping on the problem, and getting it fixed. Much appreciated.

I did notice it was working slower than usual, but now the pages, etc. are loading super quick, upgraded behind the scene? Either way, working great on my end!

What's with the fast load times lately? When am I supposed to do my laundry now?

 

[eighsse2]

Is it just me, or is it a little slow today?

 

[fatness]

It's not just you. I noticed it yesterday evening during the Monday night game thread, and again mid-day today. Individual forum pages loading slowly, replies taking a long time to post. Running fine now.

We're seeing persistent slowness again. Speed should be back to normal now, but some features have been disabled.

Yes, I noticed I can't see what other posters are viewing threads.

You're the only one who noticed that, you freaking stalker.

Could you move that lamp just a little to the right? I can't quite see your screen.

Thanks GB.

Looks like it's back to normal here.

Good to know because I sure thought this thread

Post in thread 'Travdogg's week 14 observations'

Wednesday at 9:38 AM

Glad you did this, I fired one up a few weeks ago, seemed to have decent traction, great idea if you watch a lot of football on Sunday

-I'm learning as this group ages in the Shark Pool, lot of people have bigger families and extended families now, they just don't have time to watch more than 1-2 games start to finish
These folks can't be watching all the games and are basing a lot of their opinions on viewpoints based on box scores, media hype and of course other Sharks that are watching and sometimes reporting in the weekly game threads.

-I think it's important to read or...

[Memphis Foundry]

Confirmed, we're back to normal with all features re-enabled.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’m more frustrated by an email titled “4 impact WRs for the playoffs!” that linked to the rankings.

I feel left in suspense.

You couldn't find 4 impact WRs for the playoffs in the rankings?

Sorry. We talked about in the body of the email.

We're going to change how we write that so it's more clear.

Looks like the search function is down now along with the intermittent slowness.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

It was indeed. We had another slowdown on the forums a couple of hours ago. Took down some features to speed things up, etc. - same scenario as yesterday.

This time we were able to examine the symptoms more closely and confirm that the forums were under a distributed denial of service attack.

We added some extra protection and the problem subsided. Speed picked back up and we turned all the features back on.

Hopefully that'll help us deflect those attacks in the future. We'll continue monitoring.

They may still be trying to motivate Tatum Bell.
