Is it just me or is the site crashing again

Wed 25 Sep, 2013 6:32 pm

The last 2 days in the afternoon I haven't been able to connect to the forum
for an hour or two. Anyone else having the same problem?

I wasn't able to get on either, which is interesting considering everything was supposed to be fixed! Hopefully it'll get sorted out quickly.

Yes, it "died" earlier this late afternoon. Couldn't get on via computer or mobile device (Tapatalk).

Yep sorry guys
We have had 3 outages over the past 4 days. One of about 30mins and two of about 40 mins.
The first one was my fault for been stupid on the server and the other two I think I know the cause and hope to drop a fix in tonight (which will cause a 1 min outage). Still testing it.
It seems this is caused by the new code to display the photo comp info at the top. I will be pulling the code until I can work out why it is crashing.
Sorry again

Matt :)

Is that all? I've been unable to access since 4pm today.

Hi strider. It is possible the outage this afternoon was longer. I only have server access via phone today so pretty limited info - but from what I have it looks like less then an hour. But it is possible the server was only dealing with a limited number of connection for longer.
I have just pulled out code I think is causing the failure. Shall see how it behaves now. I will have full access Friday and find out more then.
