Slow for anyone else?

cute fuzzy bunny · 01-06-2008, 02:57 PM

Forum's been very slow the last day or two. I actually got several timeouts and just enjoyed watching someones avatar get painted in 5 pieces with a 2-3 second delay in between.

Response to other sites is snappy, and i'm on 2m/8m cable, so I dont think I'm having a bandwidth problem.

REWahoo · 01-06-2008, 03:03 PM

I've not had any problem with speed on the forum...except for a couple of minutes yesterday when the site was apparently down entirely.

cute fuzzy bunny · 01-06-2008, 03:06 PM

Funny, as soon as I posted this, it sped back up. Dog slow about 5 minutes ago, earlier today, and pretty slow last night.

cute fuzzy bunny · 01-10-2008, 10:01 AM

Ridiculously slow today. I'm waiting 30 seconds to get a response on clicking on a thread, and its taking up to a minute or more to fully display a thread.

Trek · 01-10-2008, 10:04 AM

It's been slow for me too with multiple timeouts for the last couple days.

Outtahere · 01-10-2008, 10:28 AM

Slow today for me too.

**Rich_in_Tampa** · 01-10-2008, 10:30 AM

Not just today, but regularly in spurts. Enough so that the URL actually times out regularly.

haha · 01-10-2008, 10:48 AM

Me too; sometimes it is reasonable, other times the slowest pages I have encountered. I just go away when that happens.

Ha

Same here. Granted, I have nothin' but time.....but I hate to waste it.

cute fuzzy bunny · 01-10-2008, 06:46 PM

Fine right now, but awful earlier and for most of the morning. Practically unusable. I actually clicked on the 'search' button in the command bar and waited half a minute for the search box to drop down.

I am just reading this, I will contact the server admins. Maybe a reboot for the servers this weekend would be in order. Thanks for feedback.

cute fuzzy bunny · 01-15-2008, 05:49 PM

Its not only slow today, I'm getting 500 server errors.

Andy, those will show up in your server logs by default, with a cause.

jIMOh · 01-15-2008, 07:11 PM

I am getting the errors... quick reply is much more reliable than quoting original post

Very true.

I can't stand it. I'll go read somewhere else.

REWahoo · 01-15-2008, 07:36 PM

Yep. Major problems today. 500 server errors. No response for several minutes at a time.

**Andy R** · 01-15-2008, 07:55 PM

I have oped up some tickets with the server admins to get more information. I will be focused on making sure the servers are running as fast as possible. I will post an update ASAP.

cute fuzzy bunny · 01-15-2008, 08:18 PM

I just got about 30 server 500 errors in a row, so there should be plenty of information in the logs to explain the problem.

I'm getting consistently good ping times to www.early-retirement.org, but its one hell of a route getting there and back. So doesnt LOOK like its network related, but some sort of server problem.

**Andy R** · 01-15-2008, 08:25 PM

Thanks for the feedback, it's very helpful. I will pass it on. If possible, can you try adding a 1 or 2 in the URL when this happens. It might lead to some more info.

Examples:
www1.early-retirement.org
www2.early-retirement.org

The server admins are investigating things right now.
