Database Errors - Restoring Avalon

Lorien · 06-26-2009, 01:18 AM

Are any of the admins aware of or looking into the obscene amount of database errors that are occurring lately? I am getting frustrated that every other time i click a link i get one. Sometimes multiple in a row. And this has been happening for quite a few days now.

I'm glad you posted this as I was about to do the same. I have been having the same problems for the past few days. Just got one btw.

Problems in New Zealand also.

waitinginthewings · 06-26-2009, 02:44 AM

Yes thanks for posting this, I too have been getting these errors. Actually I've had several in a row just yesterday.

Is this forum the next to disappear, just like camelot.......?

bushycat · 06-26-2009, 02:49 AM

In my case it's not just on forum. And someone I know who has a florist shop has had problems recently, so business effected.

I wonder if internet II is responsible?

It's nothing to worry about. It's just the new NSA spyware. There is a fundamental incompatability between the NSA Cray Supercomputers, the Grey Supercomputers on the Dark Side of the Moon, and the World Wide Web. Reptilian technicians are working overtime to harmonize the discontinuities arising from the utilization of the computer binary code...and the instability of the reptilian entities which possess each and every personal computer. There's a reason why they call it 'the web'.

Oh okay, as long as that's all it is I won't worry then.

Good one!

Reptilians suck at tech support. Ever try talking to one about computers?

Grays, on the other hand, are a different story.

Thats very funny sleepingnomore

Anchor · 06-26-2009, 09:17 AM

Administrator has run some database repairs. While these were running there would have been some more errors. Some more are necessary, but the core problem may not be related to any database content, but rather the hosting performance.

Investigation continues.

Lorien · 06-26-2009, 01:53 PM

Thank you Anchor. Keep us posted.

Dantheman62 · 06-29-2009, 12:27 AM

So how's the investigation going Anchor, Gareth, anyone?

Anchor · 06-29-2009, 12:35 AM

Well it keeps happening. Sunday (my time) was ok, and there were no errors, but today I got hit so hard with them I could not use the forum at all when I got in to work 2.5hrs ago.

We are going to see how we can pressure the ISP/host for action.

A..

Dantheman62 · 06-29-2009, 12:38 AM

Thanks!

Dantheman62 · 06-29-2009, 04:36 PM

OK, this is ridiculous, there's so many database errors happening that it's useless to even try to use the forum. Seems to be really bad during the day (US time) and not bad at all at night. Can someone fix this?

burgundia · 06-29-2009, 04:44 PM

We are all so frustrated, that I bet the vibration level of the members has gone down significantly..

Yeah...Lorien opened this thread on 6/25; we're now having our 4th day of this mess...

Dantheman62 · 06-29-2009, 04:48 PM

Exactly! Change hosts, change servers, change something because this isn't working!

waitinginthewings · 06-29-2009, 04:51 PM

Ok...today is Monday morn. where I am.....& I have had 4 database errors in the space of 1hr........not to mention how slow it is loading each page....yesterday Sunday I had so many, I lost count.

Sure seems like this forum is under attack.......& wish someone would come out and confirm it.

I've been on Ickes forum and no problem.

Lorien · 06-29-2009, 05:10 PM

Ok. After 5 minutes and 3 tries, I am finally getting this posted....

As of this moment I am officially done with these forums until this issue is resolved. It should not take me 30 minutes and over 20 database errors to load 4 threads. I will check back to this thread once a day until i receive notice that things are in working order.

Even better if someone wants to send out a mass PM to all members so that we receive email notice that the issue is resolved, that would be excellent.

Gemeos · 06-29-2009, 05:35 PM

This is really annoying! It needs the patient of a saint to get over this errors!!!
