Until the next "unscheduled interruption" in the foreseeable future..

The site is running great so far this morning. It now seems faster than it has ever been. Thanks to Grant et al for addressing the problem.

But we've had fixes in the past that were only effective temporarily. It has usually been a matter of time before the same problems cropped up again and again. I hope things are really sorted this time.

AOL dial up from way back when.

I just spent 3 hrs off and on trying to input some reviews. Often it was over 5min. before It would respond...not sure what everyone else is seeing

[taint it sweet]

Everything

[hednic]

I think it just got a shot of adrenaline!

[LEBRON JAMES]

definitely not. I am double posting like crazy and my posts wont load

[Christian M]

Just started running fast and smooth for me.

[fragnifiscent]

same here, thank god (for now)

[hednic]

Fingers crossed that it holds.

The test will be when the US wakes up. Mornings have mostly been OK recently but afternoons - oy vey!

[del]

So far so good this morning (Eastern Time, US), but I noticed I lost 15 posts. After this, my actual post count should be ....





2906 (not 2891 as displayed on the left).


Anyway, as long as BN is fast, I'm cool with that.

Basenotes is now up to par. Gracias

I cannot reply to a thread in the Male Fragrance Discussion board. I type my reply in the Quick Reply box, and all I get is another page (the full Reply page) telling me that my reply must be over 3 characters (which it is). If I retype the reponse in the full Reply box the screen just goes blank.

Also, although the site has performed quite well today in comparison with the past several days, with pages loading quickly overall, I do experience the occasional lag in loading.

So we're still having some problems with the site. It ain't over yet.

Double posting like a mad man today

[Possum-Pie]

I'm trying to be patient, but I have 20 reviews to put in and a Blog, and It averages 5min. of wait time every click of a mouse button...ARG! I have been at it off and on all afternoon yesterday, and all morning today.

It was slow last night but it's working now.

Consider yourself lucky. In the last Website fiasco about a half year ago, DustB lost more than 2,000 posts in one night.

There are lots of double, tripple, quadruple posts ?

[LloydLlewellyn]

I'm getting more bugs than Indiana Jones at the Temple of Doom.

[martinijo]

So all the "sloooooow " and "what's with the website" threads have been merged ?
Thought it was a bit better a few hours ago but guess I was wrong.
It'd be quicker to drive round to every Basenoter's house and just tell them what I wanted to say.

Yup, I remember last year some members lost thousands of posts. I'll lose some privileges if I'm down to below 1000. I think I'll cry if that ever happens to me. :-P

My concern is for the hundreds of reviews and "fragrances tried/owned" data I have stored on the website. It is the only record I have of all the hundreds of frags tried/reviewed in the past several years...I guess I had better save them on my PC...

[Kiliwia]

A word or two from on high about the problem and what is being done would be appreciated.

This is how I feel too. It would be much easier to be patient if we had some info concerning all of the problems.

[Jack Hunter]

It's still painfully slow, my old ZX81 computer is faster than basenotes as it is now.

[southerngardens]

Hello! Just wanted to let someone know that the bsaenotes site has been so slooooowww for the past 4-5 days. I can't get anything done or it's almost impossible to post!

Thanks,

Southerngardens

Really slow tonight. Is the server struggling with large amounts of traffic? It was ok at 6am when it was quiet.

[Francois Blais]

I'm getting lots of Database error screens right now.
Server's hard disk is full?
Forum software database has reach its limit size?

[voodoodanny]

Did anyone feed the hamster powering the Basenotes main server recently? It's really bad again tonight and driving me nuts. Has there really been no word from the admin team?

[ebear]

It's reeeeeeeeally bad for me tonight, too. Nearly impossible to use... Has no one heard what's going on?
