    Unhappy Outage? - Jan 30th (est) 2012

    Couldn't get on for about half of today.
    Everything OK?
    Stop telling me how things should be, I'm just some cunt on the internet.
    Get up, move to a table without the internet, and do something about changing it.

    Same here. I can't get on at all. All I see is a title of the thread but no text/images. What's going on?

    Well, obviously everything is fine now.
    But I wanted to make sure that everything was ok in Seifert town.

    Since the outage, I've had problems with the format of the site. Instead of the banners, ads and buttons forming a coherent design, the elements have been forced onto different lines to fit them in, meaning that the site looks unfinished/partially designed:

    It's the same for me. The forum is ok - it's just the main front page.

    Sorry guys, I know there are lots of problems. Clearing your cache and reloading a time or two SHOULD clear up the front page and post pages at this point. I have to wait until the site cools down for the day so I can turn off caching and start tackling the rest of it.

    Thanks for hanging in, we'll get there soon. Should be tons better by morning (and let me know what you're seeing tomorrow morning as well).

    Good luck, Mark.

    Definitely wasn't a complaint from me, more just a 'good luck' ...

    What caused the downtime?
    Upgrades?

    Our wordpress mysql database is getting pretty big (14k posts and all the associated stuff that implies) and some of the queries on every page tipped it over Monday morning. Yet another form of growing pains. We should be able to avoid it now... until the next thing pops up

    So: IN THEORY stuff should mostly be fixed this morning.

    In practice, please tell me what major problems you're seeing

    Haven't seen anything thus far.
    Will report back here if I do.
