New host annoying me ...

Post by **AdmiralKanos** » 2003-02-20 05:20pm

I may have to switch hosts again if these periodic response problems don't go away.

Grrrrr ....

True. It's irritating.

So it's not only me who gets connection problems to the server occasionally?

Captain Jack · Post by **Captain Jack** » 2003-02-20 05:27pm

I thouht it is my connection playing up.

Nathan F · Post by **Nathan F** » 2003-02-20 05:31pm

Yeah, I was thinking my connection was going screwy, again...

Post by **AdmiralKanos** » 2003-02-20 05:32pm

That's what I initially thought, but I ran some checks from different providers and it's blocking on the server. I just turned off in-line GZIP compression to test a hypothesis that the new server is limiting my use of CPU resources and blocking on mod_gzip activity, so if the problems go away, we'll know that it's due to the server setup and I should switch to another (I've already got two prospective hosts lined up).

Please let me know if the problem goes away or continues to occur. Either way, I'll probably have to switch again (sooner or later, I'm going to find a good fucking quality webhost).

It seems to still be occurring off and on. I thought it was my connection. I'll keep you posted...

I thought maybe it was dropped request problem, but even trying to open a another bbs.sdnet link in new window proved me wrong.

It's happened to me twice in the last half hour

This response problem might be why we're seeing more double posts these days -- people clicking the submit button more than once -- happened to me once

(or twice, as the case may be

)

Only happened to me once, but that was on my school's T connection. So it's not the connection.

yeah, two or three times in the last couple of hrs. its made me double or triple post.

I can't say that I've hit the reply twice, but I've noticed it taking it's sweet fucking time opening, or posting. I thought it might be my conn, but everything else is like Parkay man.

Coaan · Post by **Coaan** » 2003-02-21 01:14am

I was wondering what the hell that was.....thanks for informing us though, I thought it was also the connection....

stupid crappy hosts

Does this have anything to do with this "failed encrypted connection" error I get every bloody time I open a page now, so that I have to click "OK" not once but twice to get it to go away and load the damn page?

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2003-02-21 02:50am

Yeah, my system always has terminal lag due to ISP.

Actually the only person with a worse Dial Up then me that I know of is Ver.

Pity us.

Make sure that you're accessing the bbs via:

not

I get roughly two problems a day and odd 10-30 second pauses after hitting reply posts in the Off-Topic forum before they go through instead of the old 1-4 seconds

Sometimes it'll take a minute or two for it to complete an action here.

it works a lot slower than the old one for me

Argh; I'm going to switch to a VPS solution and that should hopefully fix the problem. I thought this account was a VPS solution, but it turns out that the account description was just misleading.

That's cold blooded. Demand a refund please.

P.S. What's a VPS?

Virtual Private Server. Uses Linux server partitioning.

Just in advance Ein, We won't be hosting a Quake server off Mike's Bandwidth no matter how much you ask

You think that's bad? I've been trying for DAYS to log on here and I've just NOW gotten here. Its pissing me off to no end. This new host blows.

edit: Anyone else notice that the thread listings take forever to load now?

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2003-02-21 02:33pm

I'm going to try switching hosts again, maybe even tonight if possible.
