LadyLynx -> CM: this is weird............ (2/7/2008 2:23:19 PM)
I saw the collarme status thread go by, but everytime I try to click on it, it ethier leads to a blank page, or it doesn't do anything. Whats up with that?

sweetwenchie -> RE: CM: this is weird............ (2/7/2008 2:25:01 PM)
i did not think it was an actual thread, merely an alert to the current status of the site's issues.

Alumbrado -> RE: CM: this is weird............ (2/7/2008 2:25:02 PM)
Errrrmmm... The web site is overloaded due to a hardware failure, so they have co-opted the scroller to announce that?

mnottertail -> RE: CM: this is weird............ (2/7/2008 2:26:57 PM)
Oh, I thought they were being moderated and moved to random obviousness. And I am pretty sure they don't want anyone hijacking it, or hepping others to the wisdom of such an RSS. Ron

if you watch it for a sec it will scroll to a recent post... They are trying to let us know what is going on...

kc692 -> RE: CM: this is weird............ (2/7/2008 2:34:44 PM)
They are trying to let people know what is going on, as it is difficult to answer everyone at once that has written into support, or is just trying to find out what is going on.

I have noticed... you seem to know an awful lot..... . I actually very much appreciate that they are letting us know what is going on.

The scroller runs on a server that isn't affected by the hardware outage. Adding the status update to the scroller isn't increasing the load on any already-burdened subsystem, but thank you for your concern. XI

I'm not sure if that was a compliment or not, but, truly I was not being snarky, I was trying to be helpful. edited to add:: Not sure where that snarkiness is coming from, but will ignore it, have a pleasant day!!!

You may have noticed that the post said something along the lines of there being a hardware failure, so they were operating at a lesser level of service....hence....operating in such a fashion as to be able to use less computing power...i.e., scrolling. (Of course, people clicking on that link/post forced the computer to respond to it, requiring MORE effort and draw on the available CPU and bandwidth....naturally, just the opposite of what the owners, no doubt, were hoping the highly capable and thoughtful users of this service....would attempt, having posted that notice in the hopes that others might presume not to add additional load until it was repaired).

TheHeretic -> RE: CM: this is weird............ (2/7/2008 6:09:56 PM)
Are the problems just on the other side? I'm not noticing anything different on the forums. Also, other than leaving, is there anything we can do to reduce the strain on the working hardware?

ModeratorEleven -> RE: CM: this is weird............ (2/7/2008 6:14:05 PM)
The forums are unaffected by the problem with the single exception of users whose primary profile photo is their forum avatar. Those images may take a long time to load or fail with a SQL error. XI

TheHeretic -> RE: CM: this is weird............ (2/7/2008 6:20:54 PM)
So, if I turn off the "display avatar" setting, it sounds like that would cut some demand on the other side. I can do that. Add: So much for that idea. It turned off the individual avatars, and kept the main profile pics. I am SO not a tech-person.
