It happened to me exactly when i was logging in. by the way that Remember Me! option never work for me!! That is the point of my pic also Well I noticed that there was a problem so many times, its just that I saw some strange view on my favourite forum and thought of sharing it.. I agree, as i am a regular user here, if i am not logged in still i surf DP offline.. even at my Office As I said above Remember option does not work for me, I just open my PM box and put that tab ti reload every 1 min, so that i remain logged in. Does that Remember Me works for you people?
Some DB replication issues caused by a bombardment of useless spiders. Worst have been blocked... more to follow.
Glad that at the end you are taking some steps to prevent DB issues shawn. Welcome back on board DON.
Was never gone. Just invisible. Dunno why I felt like posting (partially to test replication was working right... lol)
Oh then its great shawn. We really thankful to you if DP forums run smoothly as earlier as since last few months DB issues appear every now and then. Hope you are really trying your best in this direction. DON.
Yeah, there is currently some hardware issues that I've not been able to really pin down the last few months... I ended up having to take some of the slave DB servers out of the cluster for the time being until that gets squared away. Normally it runs okay, but aren't currently running with our normal overhead for peak loads when the spammers/idiot spiders hit the site hard. I *like* to run things where nothing is above 10% resource utilization on average so we can handle tenfold peaks of crap/attacks... Just not at that point right now because of some of the DB slaves out of the cluster.
yes, i think this is the problem of the Database, There are more than 100,000 members are already registered here. So that could be the problem
Glad to see you working on it Shawn. I thought for a while there that you were off on a yacht somewhere with DP far from your thoughts.
I am glad to know that measures are being taken to restore the forum to its original condition.. these bugs/spams just make our life difficult and nothing more than that. I am happy that my post bought your attention & Thanks for updating us. By the way Shawn its an honour to have you posting reply in my thread
