Forums either loading slow or not loading at all

Is anyone else having forum issues?

I either can't get the main site/forum at all or it takes a really long time to load and then only loads partially.

Cheers,

Yeah, yesterday it was doing the same thing. Last night it seemed ok, and now again, it's acting all funky.

But at least I know it's not just me... lol

Cheers,

They unblocked PPM, or bots?

They look like bots, considering the massive amount of random actions done at once. These IPs (5 so far) were blocked server wise.

I don't know where to put this, put I can't see the forumn index (and I don't know if anyone put something similair). And since this site is being attacked by these bots, is it still safe to go on here? or will we all also get invaded and virus-ed?

Forum has been fixed. It was an issue with unoptimized database.

Machine · Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 5:54 pm Post subject:

BTW Banshee, I'm getting a general error every time I try to watch a topic without login in (However I can see the forums structure). This happens with both my desktop and my laptop, haven't tested on other computers.

Quote:

General Error

Could not delete stale confirm data

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1194 Table 'ppmhix_confirm' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

etc...

Banshee · Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 6:10 pm Post subject:

Hmm.. I forgot to repair that one at that moment, but I guess it is fixed now.

Yea I was experiencing the same thing as Machine last night plus a lot of random coding after it. Though this morning I wasn't able to see the forums at all. I could visit individual topics though.

But it would seem everything is working fine now. Smile

I assume Banshee was there to fix this. So great job Banshee. (and to anyone else who was there to help for that matter)

Thanks for all those who informed me about the problem, because these people actually helped me to figure out that there was a problem here Wink

, although I also got the database error when I visited this forum in my uni.

Note: After you added the YouTube and ModDB BBCode buttons, they BROKE the font color and size lists. They don't do anything anymore.

Thanks for the tip. Fortunately, if you use the normal code, it still works, but the template indeed is broken. I'll try to fix it now.

Update: I think it's fixed now
