@Panther This last post of yours did the same thing for me. Soft refresh didn’t work, I logged off and after a half-dozen more freshes, suddenly the post appeared properly. Logged back in, and it’s still good.

If a refresh eventually fixed it, it was probably a caching issue. Chat me if it happens again.

Panther How do I get back my 40 pages of PM messages without doing nothing ?

Unfortunately, the new chat style makes viewing your old conversations difficult.

Also, during the migration process some may have been lost. All the old data is still around in the old database so if there is super something important, I can get a data dump for you (work has me busy until April 12 so I hope it can wait :grimacing:).

However, 80% off all the PMs were migrated. The best way to browse is in the chat app. Open any chat and expand (or click this link).

Now you’re get this, I think my convo with @Intrepid is okay to share.

On the left you can click names and at the top of that column you can even search. Sometimes the search will reveal the same name multiple times. The migration of messages was not the cleanest, unfortunately.

I hope that helps.

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not but…

I got a “503” error twice tonight which said the site was too busy. Checked who was online and it just showed me and oystello and 35 guests.

I don’t really check whose online that much anymore since moving here, but that doesn’t seem right to me.

Waited a couple minutes and site was back up both times. Anyway, just thought I’d mention it since I hadn’t encountered it before.

@barnee Yes, that happens to me quite regularly, too, sometimes once or twice a day.
Most of the time another attempt only seconds after the first one is successful.

I don’t think that this is related to the number of active people on the forum, as I experience this happening even if only a handful of members/visitors is present.

@djensen Have you ever experienced this “503 - due to heavy load” screen?

[djensen]

Yes, infrequently. Load can be caused by things like forums searches, crawler bots, etc.

I find that if I click on a bunch of articles at once, so they can load as I read other articles, I’ll get that error. If I load 1 new article as I read another 1 from before, I don’t get that error.

I tend to read things on the internet that way - load up all of the sites to read today, or load up all of the “new” messages and then read them one-at-a-time. On this site, I often find that approach backfires with 503 errors.
