Forum timeouts and server errors

In the last two days I've been experiencing intermittent problems with the forum: when I click a link to a thread or post sometimes I can't get it to load. I have to wait about a minute and try again. The same issue occurs when I try to submit a post.

I'm not maxing out my internet connection, other websites are working fine.

Should I post this to the ML?

Re: Forum timeouts and server errors

Wait and see if anyone else is experiencing it. I get it from time to time, but suspect my conection is responsible more often than not.

I also haven't noticed an uptick in frequency over the last week; nor does it happen when trying to submit a post, just when browsing*




* Having said that, my browsing rate is probably similar to your posting one... smile

Re: Forum timeouts and server errors

If I run into this once a week it's absolutely not a problem, but it has happened over 20 times in the last ~48 hours, that's why I'm asking.

Maybe it's just the universe trying to tell me something ... That's too bad, because I'm very good at not listening ;-P

It happened four times in the last hour. When I wanted to post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1350626 I got

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to update user visit data.

Re: Forum timeouts and server errors

Is it always this error? Looks like a DB overload then. FluxBB scales pretty bad.

Re: Forum timeouts and server errors

This is only the second time I saw it in the pat week. Once was about 5 days ago and today was the second, when I wanted to post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1350626

Mostly it's just pages loading, loading, loading and never getting anywhere. If I come back in a minute or two, they usually load w/o a problem.

Re: Forum timeouts and server errors

Could be. A few search queries in the forums can block the whole system.

Though this thread is older, the other one has more info. Please follow the link in Pierre's post just above mine.

Sorry karol. Closing.
