  • Connection Problems

    I am having problems connecting to Poly. I had this problem last night also. Sometimes I do get lucky and connect, but what is causing the problems with the site?

    Probably either related to the previous issues with the hosting company, or Locutus messing around with the DB while the Americans sleep.
    You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

      We are performing maintenance on the server. It is not finished yet, but the disturbance should hopefully only last for some shorter periods of 10 to 20 minutes if all goes well.

        More "maintenance"?

          Yes, we are performing some upgrades, which we should have done before leaving settler3, but had to postpone because of the old server giving up too early. It should be OK now at least. We might still need to tweak some things but nothing that has to be done today, and nothing that probably will be done today either.

                    No, low level software. We are changing the underlying storage system for the database to simplify backups.

                      Alright then.

                      I'm getting "missing pages".

                        And no Return to Forum button at the bottom of a thread.

                          I don't believe you, at least it's not high load caused by forum users.

                          Are you running some kind of query?

                            That's because the connection times out because of the high load. It shouldn't be for mush longer. But then there will be some downtime for the database as well later.

                              I didn't say it were forum users.

                              Not a query, but extensive disk IO.
