Saru Posted August 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Just to recap for those who had problems accessing the forum board index over the last 7 hours or so - the problem was that the chat server from which the chat counter on the main page is taken was down - but rather than simply being unavailable, it had some strange routing issue which created a huge delay when trying to access the forum's main page. I've taken that code out for the moment and it's working fine again. Some sort of timeout system is needed to stop it from waiting any length of time for the chat information file. I could have fixed this in about 2 minutes had i been available, just typical timing that it happens in the middle of the night my time at about 2am.

doomgirl Posted August 2, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2004 No worries Saruman, we entertained ourselves I would also like to say that the new emergency thread allthough, thank god closed . Was skillfully organised by Doomie . She kept a cool head in a crisis , well done it really is like watching a black out in action . Thanks Kismit I set it up as a temp thing that could be deleted later. When I discovered the problem, I asked Burnsy and he said he was having the same problem as me, so I made the thread to let others know that they weren't alone. As it turned out, I stopped crystal3rose from smashing her computer btw I still think that thread should be renamed Panic Room...

BurnSide Posted August 3, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I set it up as a temp thing that could be deleted later. When I discovered the problem, I asked Burnsy and he said he was having the same problem as me, so I made the thread to let others know that they weren't alone. That was really cool. We hijacked the Truth thread for awhile, realised we were the only two people still active on the site, and stared to realise something was wrong. So Doomie starts sending PMs in all directions getting everyone to congregate in one thread. Very well done Dooms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
