subvinorosa is having login problems again.  Initially, I thought that she couldn't even reach the site but evidently not.  Here's her screenshot.



Looking at that screen shot it definitely looks like the forum wasn't connecting to the DB, as none of the navigation is there nor any kind of guest view.  That would rule out a cookie issue on Sub's side and a database error on ours.  I have informed the host that I thought there might be something badly configured (a script of some sort), as these problems are so on and off.

The server is performing way above accepable so it is not the hardware or a spammer hogging it, I just think they have to tweak the system to iron these issues out which I am actively pushing for.

I love a good double entendre, as the actress said to the bishop.

I can confirm that the recent performance issues are not at our end, as I have received this response to my report:

You are correct that this is not a local problem for you nor is it related to server load itself. It looks like there is a problem with the network load on our end that we are working to mitigate as quickly as possible.

I have never been with a host so responsive that's for sure, or reasonably priced.  They pick a ticket up within 10 minutes and usually answer within an hour.

That kind of acknowledgment would never, ever happen in Argentina.  :D

I missed any trouble unfortunately but that sort of time on a Sunday is synonymous with maintenance routines which would slow the server down.

I tried to connect and it timed out.  Not sure of the time but probably somewhere around 2am EST (give or take an hour or so).

Apparently there are still residual problems from the Ddos attack, this is how are server looked for a couple of hours:



I'm hoping we won't experience many more of these glitches, but if we do, they should be resolved within an hour or 2.
