Moderators: Something's "broken"... posts are not posting

[saveliberty]

Just dump all the posts before last Thursday, that will speed things up. Careful what you wish for people.

 

[AyeCantSeeYou]

We should probably exercise our Constitutional right to post here and get someone thrown in prison...

Cats like boxes. Why not one with bars?

They don't make plastic cuffs that can hold me.

You guys should have asked Dark Fury to contact the admins. After all he is the one that says he has all the clout around here. This would have been fixed hours ago.

Now by special request a very memorable tune for AyeCantSeeYou, Coyote, and Kat.

Search will be busted for about 2 hours while the search index rebuilds but posting should work fine.

I think what you tried to fix is fixed, but there's a new problem. The site is unusually slow. (For me, no other sites are behaving/responding slowly and I tested my download and upload speeds...I'm cranking along at 936/860Mbps, so I don't think the slowness is on my end.)

Edit:

FWIW, the slowness seems to be in going to a post about which I've received an alert.​

 

[usmbguest5318]

Takes FOREVER to get a post loaded or even browse. Is it happening to anyone else, this lagging?

I'm only now experiencing the slow browse. Accessing posts/threads was happening at "normal" speed earlier today.

Give it a couple of hours to be back to normal. The server is re-caching approx. 18 million posts.

Should I cache the server outside?

I think this is the forums way of driving up web traffic for their sponsors. Everyone posting the same thing two or three times per attempt has got to increase google ad statistics!

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! For the love of Christ, there is not a "conspiracy" behind everything.

I would hit the 'dumb/stfu' button on that reply if I could.

This is NOT intentional on the part of anyone. This is a nightmare for mods and members alike.

Wow, another that doesn't get sarcasm.

Well, were you to include some sort of indicator in your post so that readers can tell you aren't serious, we'd know you were being sarcastic. You as well as I have seen the outlandish stuff members here post with complete seriousness. How is one to know you aren't being serious if you don't type some sort of indicator -- an emoji, an inflection, "just kidding (JK)," something...?

Apparently doing so crossed saveliberty's mind:

I don't see folks taking his remark seriously rather than as sarcasm.

Not that it's a big deal, but more "couple hours" than the five it's been since the Admin stated the earlier problem was corrected? I don't care how long it takes; I only care about the accuracy of one's representations about how long it does take. Tell me "up to 72 hours" or "up to 15 minutes" or whatever, and so long as it's done by or before whatever time one states, I'm fine with it. "I don't know how long it'll take" is also an absolutely acceptable statement, assuming it's true for the person saying it.

Again, I'm just sharing what I'm experiencing and observing so appropriate action can be taken if need be. I'd written one of my "essays" and I'm not going to try posting it until I know working "right" again. I'm about to walk out the door for the evening, so I don't have a personal interest in whether it takes all night. I would have started a thread with my essay, but it can wait.

Now for another tune to distract you all everyone on the forum, including the admin, have been placed on...

*****CHUCKLE*****





...for breaking double secret forum rules that can not be revealed.

I've been online for about an hour and USMB is just dog slow today. Anyone else seeing this problem?

I've visited several other sites during this time and they're all loading as fast as ever.

 

[Bleipriester]

It´s probably a data base error. Search is dead, too.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried a couple of things but nothing helps.

It sometimes gets slow like this early in the morning, one or two am.

 

[Bleipriester]

Not the first time. Will go away soon, I guess.

The stupid stuff loads slower.

 

[Vastator]

Been like this all day for me. Almost unusable. I can’t imagine how many ads I’ve missed by switching to other sites due to this ridiculous load time I’ve been experiencing...

 

[MarathonMike]

Seems worse today. I've been off and on a few times and it's been slow every time.

 

[longknife]

Working fine for me. Quit whining. You're here for free after all.
