    Forum slow and/or unresponsive

    The forum is very slow today for me.. and I am sometimes receiving error:

    header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable'); header('Status: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable'); header('Retry-After: 17200'); // in seconds print "TEST123";
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    It tends to happen when the load on the server is high. But let me get this sent over to the tech team for a check.

    Maybe Europe just has really bad internet connectivity.

    Maybe your igloo's connection is poor NBVC! Sometimes my igloo's connection gets really cold.

    Re: Forum slow and/or unresponsive

    It's like going back to the old days and having a 56k modem all over again!!

    I read a thread, when I finish I clicked the linked at the top of the page to go back to the thread page and it takes ages, this morning it took approximately 3 minutes at one to respond!!!
    I don't experience this anywhere else.

    Me, too. I was able to get access intermittently during the day and whatever I was able to do on those occasions was gone this evening. Everything had to be done again.

    I only find these problems with 2 sites, both are vBulletin based excel forums, maybe they share the same server space

    I guess the techies have rolled back to a pre-error point, a quick glance at the timestamps in general questions suggests that anything submitted after 09:15 (BST) has been lost.

    Re: Forum slow and/or unresponsive

    It's very slow again for me at the moment, though it was better earlier today.

    Also, I responded to this thread:

    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...-selected.html

    at 6:30pm my time. It has not moved in the New Posts list (now some 20 minutes later), nor does my (second) contribution show up in the User CP list, although another thread that I responded to after this one, i.e. this:

    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-form...ion-today.html

    has moved in the New Posts list and does show in my User CP list.

    Can these niggling errors please be fixed ??

    Pete

    Re: Forum slow and/or unresponsive

    There was a major server issue on sunday hence the outage. It was much better during the day Monday but i guess the server is creating issues again. The tech team is constantly working on it, day and night to get it up to speed.

    Must be some more issues, as the forum is starting to hang again.

    Is someone tinkering under the bonnet again!

    Yeah, JB noticed it too. Possibly the load on the server was high.
