JSngry Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Sounds logical enough, but I'm on FIOS & the rest of the web runs normally. Quote
Big Wheel Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Sounds logical enough, but I'm on FIOS & the rest of the web runs normally. Hmmm...there could also be a weird issue with how Verizon is connecting to Organissimo's servers, I guess. I don't remember if Jim mentioned where the server is located, but I'm guessing it's not part of a major datacenter. Whereas most of the other sites you visit are probably jacked in pretty close to network backbones (think all Google properties including Blogger blogs, all Yahoo properties including Flickr, major newspapers, major retailers, etc. I wonder if Verizon routes traffic such that the pipe is big enough to easily handle spikes in traffic to the big boys, but they suffer congestion to smaller sites during times of increased usage. Just armchair theorizing - I don't claim to be a network engineer. Quote
JSngry Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Sun's shining brightly now, and the board is zipping right along. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 No, I'm saying we need to upgrade anyway in order to use the latest release of the software, which fixes some bugs and security holes. Quote

JSngry Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 I pay all my bills that I get...sometimes somebody besides myself decides to bring in the mail and sometimes they got some funny ideas about where the mail should be placed... Quote
Van Basten II Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 Is it me or the board has a few problems today, tried to post into the film corner thread and met a dead end Quote
sidewinder Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 Is it me or the board has a few problems today, tried to post into the film corner thread and met a dead end I've had a few problems getting on today too. Nothing catastrophic. Quote
J.A.W. Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 When I changed topics, tried to post or send messages the board timed out a several times the last few days. Quote
JSngry Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 Beautiful weather in Dallas today, maybe the server got egged last night? Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 There's a time of the day when the board is a bitch; you just can't get through. It's always been a few minutes after ten AM (my time). I've tried firing up the board on another browser and sometimes I get an error message to say that the database is fucked. So I assume there's some heavy housekeeping going on in the wee small hours in Michigan. But the thing is, we put our clocks back last weekend and the problem continued to appear just after ten AM. Now you've put your clocks back, the problem has moved to about ten forty MG Quote
BillF Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 This problem is always so bad that I no longer try to use the site for half an hour or so after 10am GMT has passed. Noticed it was still OK at 10:10 this morning, so you're probably right about the effect of the US hour change. Quote
neveronfriday Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Same here. Been too slow for days, but only at certain times. Almost gave up posting the link to the Piano Jazz photos a few minutes ago because what I posted simply wouldn't show up. Page just got stuck ... again and again. Quote
mikeweil Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Strange - I never have any problems, no matter what time of night or day I check in. Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) I've noticed sporadic slowness here but nothing too drastic. Not sure whether there's any kind of a connection, but I use Google Chrome now instead of Firefox to access the board. Certain sites - especially Facebook - seem to work much better with Chrome. Oh, and I've never tried to read or post at 10h00 GMT (sleepytime here in the NW.) Edited November 11, 2009 by Bill Barton Quote
BFrank Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 I'm having trouble running "Search". It always times out. Quote
J.A.W. Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) I couldn't access the board until now, I kept getting the message: "IPS Driver Error There appears to be an error with the database." The board is very slow here now and it's regularly timing out. Edited November 15, 2009 by J.A.W. Quote
brownie Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Now that I'm creeping back to O., I find I have a hard time getting in any day of the week around 1000GMT. Takes more than half an hour before things get back to normal! I also got acquainted with the 'IPS Driver Error' page that J.A.W. refers in the previous message Quote
king ubu Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 I've had plenty of ISP Driver Error pages in the past couple of months or so, but in the past two weeks I think I've hardly had any trouble... sometimes I double-post because a post won't appear (instead Opera, my browser, tells me the connection is interrupted). So there's some slowness now and then, but generally it seems to work pretty well at this time. Quote

GA Russell Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 I'm having trouble with slowness this evening, and am getting a blank screen after I push the "add reply" button when I post. Quote
brownie Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 More IPS Driver Horror before I was allowed to log in this morning! Quote
king ubu Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 More IPS Driver Horror before I was allowed to log in this morning! Yes, just had some of that half an hour ago. Before it worked alright. Quote
Free For All Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 More IPS Driver Horror before I was allowed to log in this morning! Yes, just had some of that half an hour ago. Before it worked alright. Some of that today. Very slow. Quote
