Recent Outages and Hiccups

[Bob Hubbard]

As many have noticed, we're experiencing some hiccups. We are working with the server admins to fix the problems. We should have everything smoothed out within a few days.

At the moment, we are experiencing occational lag times, and a few 'connection' errors. These are becoming less frequent as we progress.

Thank you for your patience while we fine-tune things.
We Apologize for the inconveniences.

Hey, shit happens.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

We've just been hip deep the last week.

We should be past the worst bits now. They've tweaked the server, updated some software and some other things. I'm monitoring, but the indications I have are that it'll be alot smoother from here on out.

Off topic, but why is it that American usage is "from here on out" while British usage is usually "from here on in". :idunno:

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Y'know, I don't know. It's probably one of the many little differences between English English and American English.

From here on Out: This means exclusive and in the future anything is possible.

From here on In: Is inclusive about the existing topic. So it is also the future, yet about the topic at hand.

So in this case Out, which means that Kaith does not know what could cause problmes in the future is the better choice, from the current "English" used in the USA.

I could be wrong though

Since I got back online last night.. MT has been waaaaay slow and it's also delivering multiple emails on postings.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Might have something to do with the 10,000 unread posts?

I haven't noticed any issues in the last few hours. Have been out most of the day though, and did see a few DB errors in my inbox.

 

[KenpoTess]

see see... I should of had a minion 'fix' that for me.. *growls at all the unread posts* Hey I've been wading through all day.. but my hip boots aren't tall enough~!!

So when did the Americans start using ENGLISH. :idunno:

Ooooooh! Can I get you another saucer of milk there Dave?

(PS- I was born not far from where you are, although I've lived in South Africa since 1964, apart from 2 years in the '80s. I'm from Crawley, just down the M23 from you.)

MySQL locked up on the server. Server Admins are investigating.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

I am experiencing a wierd glitch in the Study. This thread has 3 pages, but won't let me past page 2.

 

[Flatlander]

OK, it seems to have rectified itself....

 

[Feisty Mouse]

I suddenly seem to have to re-log-in every time I go to a new page. New hiccup?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Not that I'm aware of. Which browser are you using?

 

[Seig]

When you get back, you can follow up. Everytime MT sends me an e-mail, I get three copies.

I experienced this one earlier today too, but it only lasted for a few minutes. Just before that I got another error page with a message about an e-mail being sent. I use internet explorer.

 

[Michael Billings]

I am having one now. Every time I try to respond to a post, I am timing out the reply screen. It is not me.

It's working OK for me today, though - I'm on Explorer too.
