Thats a good idea.
What is Going On with the Site
-
@Cmdr:
…I’d wager its the number of unregistered users searching for answers to Anniversary Edition and possibly the banners.
That’s my guess. Every time I try to use the search feature here, the site goes unresponsive and I end up never getting the results of the search.
-
The website has been unresponsive for a while. Just now getting access back but it is sporadic.
-
It’s not the banners. It has something to do with the way the server is set up in combination with the horsepower on the server.
In order to get this working much better I need to redeploy the server on a more recent operating system. This is a lot of work and will require downtime.
-
I don’t know if this matters or not, but my browser will continue to show an icon (like the little hour glass used by Windows OS’s) that it is still trying to download a page even when the entire page appears to be loaded. This will go on until I click on the “stop” button on the browser menu bar.
-
Now that is related to the ads or Google analytics or something like that.
-
I’ve started building a new server. I might be able to do the switch tonight, which means you will not have access to the forums tonight or whenever I do the switch over.

Could you do it Sunday when most people have gotten their weekend fix?
-
I made the upgrades that I wanted to make. Now we just need to see if it made things faster.
-
I now get a “404 - Attachment Not Found” whenever I try to click one of the attachments to download a map. Did we perhaps lose all the attachments in the upgrade process?
-
Fixed. There might be one or two stragglers so just re-upload the files.
-
The ones I was looking for are working. Thanks!
-
How is the site running so far today?
It seems pretty snappy now. It should be. All of the code that runs the forum and the content is now cached after compilation. Previously, it was compiling every time.
-
So far so good, DJ.
-
I get a 404 Not Found when trying to do a search.
-
I’m not seeing that. From where are you doing the search? Send the URL, please.
-
Did anybody experience any of the gateway timeouts today or yesteray?
-

I’m using the “Search” feature in the bar at the top left of the page.
-
Yea, I got a couple of 404 file not founds yesterday, Djensen, but an immediate refresh of the page cleared it up without an issue. I figured it was probably something on my end.
-
I get the 404 even when refreshing. This is happening at different IPs and using different browsers.
-
Okay, I think some of these issues are database related and because I didn’t write the crappy forums software, there’s not much I can do about it.
There are a lot of posts in the system so the search query takes a very long time. If you do the same search after you see the 404, the result should come up quickly because the query eventually finished (after the browser timed-out) and was cached.
Try using Google:
