Chicago_X · December 9, 2011, 6:54pm

The number of users was less than 100, split about half/half between members and guests.

Everything works better on this site when I use Firefox. In fact, the whole web works better when I use Firefox.

Firefox is Foyapproved.

Everything running ok guys? I’m away from my computer today so I can’t monitor it too closely.
Here’s hoping…

Foy · December 12, 2011, 7:47am

All is good from Las Vegas.

All fine.

Leelou · December 12, 2011, 11:14am

No problems for quite a while now.

Chicago_X · December 13, 2011, 7:09am

No issues here.

sb56637 · December 14, 2011, 2:40pm

Hi guys, any more details on the recent outage you experienced early in the morning EST today? Thanks, and my apologies.

ChibiM · December 14, 2011, 2:59pm

Yes, I couldnt get on the Forums.... It wouldnt even load an error message.. it just stayed at my current website.

dont know what went wrong.. but good to be back again.

Because of that, I had a look at the other side

Oxy_Moron · December 14, 2011, 6:34pm

I experienced some issues this morning as well. Around 0600, maybe 06:30 EST. The site was pingable throughout but the web server itself would either take forever to serve up content or just time out. DFM also shows the daemon showing a 301, but I did not see that for myself. Mostly, the browser would just sit there and take forever to load nothing at all. I also noticed that ICMP traceroutes to budgetlightforum.com failed at this point, while www.budgetlightforum.com responded (I realize the latter is a CNAME for the former; no clue what happened there).

Was on and off a bit last night, about midnight (gmt). Checked forum page and it only had about 100 users in total

Volk · December 14, 2011, 8:05pm

I'm having some problems at the moment, the site is slow and I just got a time out.

Oxy_Moron · December 15, 2011, 5:08pm

Got this just now.

And then upon reloading:

Intermittent outages all day. Host says another user on the server is creating heavy load. I'm researching webhosts right now.

Jinx · December 15, 2011, 4:40pm

Looking good so far sb56637, new host seems pretty fast :) thanks for your hard work providing this great forum.

sb56637 · December 15, 2011, 4:42pm

Sweet, I'm glad that the host nameserver change propagated so fast.

Don · December 15, 2011, 4:59pm

I was wondering how long DNS would take to catch up. Fine here. (BT Internet)

Oxy_Moron · December 15, 2011, 5:33pm

Shouldn't be too long. :)

And thank you for all your work, Mr. Admin!

The new host seems much snappier from here.

VFMaddict · December 15, 2011, 5:42pm

+1

sb56637 · December 15, 2011, 5:45pm

My pleasure, I'm glad it's working for everyone. This new host has a lot of fascinating new features for a geek like myself, so I'm enjoying the changeover.
