  • Site Running Slow

    The recently noted slow performance of the HawaiiThreads.com forums apparently continues. I'll be researching the problem -- whether it's an independent issue on the server that hosts the site, or if the forum itself is getting bogged down. The former will require outside help, the latter may require various tweaks (i.e. search limits, fewer posts per page, etc.) to better optimize the setup. In any case, I'll do what I can, and appreciate your patience in the interim.

    When posting messages, there'll be some delay after you click submit. Don't hit the submit button again while waiting, as you'll end up doubleposting. Just click, get up, and get a breath of fresh air. It's probably a good idea, anyway.

        If not multi-tasking other chores, I just mentally hum to the tune of the Jeopardy game show chime... "da da da da da da da da. da-da-da_da da da da".

            It's got a good beat, but the lyrics suck, so I only score it a "2".

            And Ryan, thanks for fixing whatever it was that need to be fixed. The site seems fine again.

                    Yes, it appears our tubes are clogged again. It's affecting several sites in the 'ohana, not just HawaiiThreads. The subterranean gnomes have been dispatched with hoses and shovels and hopefully things will be back to normal soon. In the meantime, your patience is appreciated!

                            Chances are, you've been seeing this message lately:
                            The server is too busy at the moment. Please register and login, or try again later.
                            Basically, I have had to limit browsing by unregistered users in an attempt to bring down the server load. The good news is, anyone can register, even if they never post a message. I realize the sporadically expiring cookies, however, can add to the annoyance. My apologies for that.

                            Though we're a simple bunch, HawaiiThreads is surprisingly popular... both with humans and with hungry search engine robots. My webhost, which specializes in the kind of much smaller, simpler websites I dealt with when I joined them a decade ago, has been concerned with the amount of resources the sites I'm running today require. They're recommending a dedicated server, and while I love you all, I don't know if I can afford that much love. So I've implemented server status tracking and set resource limits that will put up the "server is too busy" message when it is.

                            There've also been a spate of database errors, but I think they're more related to some infrastructure tweaks being made higher up the food chain (databases are kept on separate boxes from the sites that access them). I'm hoping those will soon subside.

                            Again, I'm sorry for any periodic denials of your HawaiiThreads fix, and greatly appreciate your continued support and participation!

                              Thanks for the explanation, Ryan. At work, I've been popping on to check HT from time to time without logging on from my work computer --- but the "busy" tone means I log on more often, after all. Small price to pay.
