    Saturday night again

    hmmmm its saturday night again, and it looks like the server is messing around again (aka being backed up?)

    Anyone else having trouble posting and losing connection with the server?

    Re: Saturday night again

    FDibbins,

    Being a moderator, perhaps you could answer a question for me... and please don't hold the wrath of Forum Rule #2 over me for this.

    Question: Why on Earth does this forum have a login timeout after a certain amount of time? If I look at a forum member's question and take 15-20 minutes to work out a solution then come back to post it - I have been logged out and have to log back in - and I never left the page!

    It just doesn't make sense. So long as I never leave the page, I should stay logged in. I know you don't control how the forum itself works, but seeing as you are a moderator, perhaps you have some special channels to pass on friendly suggestions.

    Thanks,
    Moo

    Hi Moo,

    I have never encountered such a thing. If this seems to be a reoccurring problem you could log it with...

    Re: Saturday night again

    trouble is when the forum backs up all the bits have to be put in a bit bucket and poured into the standby,mostly the bucket is loaded with a metaphorical shovel/spade but this forum got it wrong and bought a very small garden trowel.

    Ahhh, horticultural metaphors... there's really no place I'd rather spend a Saturday night than Excel Forum.

    Re: Saturday night again

    Moo, I used to have the same problem at 1 stage. then, when I logged in, I also clicked the "keep me logged in" check-box. I log in here at work and at home. when i click on the forum at work now, i dont even have to log in. when i log in at home, I click the check box, and never have to log in again (during that session)

    Re: Saturday night again

    Yes i do the same as FDibbins and unless i clear the browser cache, i dont have to login again.

    Also, saturday is the day when all backups happen. This may take a few hours so please bear with us during this time.

    I don't know what type of database runs vBulletin, but can't you do some kind of snapshot of the db, or use something like a SQL Maintenance plan that would impact the live system far less?
