just for your info: the search-function is atm limited. i've moved the search-enginge to a new server - so we now have to rebuild the search-cache. this could take some time. (i think about 2 - 4 hours) during this time, the search-function won't find all possible results. sorry for any inconvenience
faster than expected. should be back to normal now. FYI: Unread-Post-Count won't come back (at least not now) the query will put too much strain on the DB - the request will take about 2s for each request - and considering that we sometimes more than 3k users, this is not acceptable, since then other users have to wait till the CPU can handle the next query. the newest version does have a caching-method, but this won't reduce the strain on the database that much (i've tested it). so ... until i have time to find a faster query, we won't add this.
Akiba-Online is not quite up to speed, we used to sometimes have more than 4k users....just something to keep in mind. Don't know if AO will ever become that popular again but you never know. You would have to ask one of the mods, we might have actually busted the 5k barrier before.
yes i know that there were more users online in the "good old days" and i would like to have them back to handle more users, i will move akiba to new configs as soon as there aren't that much users online and i have some time. it's already setup (more or less), but will result in a minor downtime from around 1 hour. After that we should be able to handle around 6k users, before we need a bigger server or an even more complex setup and the planned one will be complex enough
at our peak we went well over 6k, perhaps nearer 7K, plus at that time we also got hits that was not recorded, and some estimates went 10k +
i hereby announce, that i've successfully switched to the new setup. there still could be some small problems, but i'm sure we will find this error and figure it out As far as i see it now - there is still a small problem with getting traffic to the second system, but we will see, what happens, when time passes by as for now - i've added a link to the IRC-chat at top - feel free to join us edit figured out the problem with the second php-system. the database wasn't ready, so all users got access to the first system mybad - fixed & working (as it looks from here) for all that blocks cookies. there is a new one called "akiba_location" you have to accept this, otherwise your login-session isn't handled correctly (you have the option of tokyo or osaka) for all that don't: nothing to do here edit2 if an attachement isn't available a few seconds after the post was made - this is normal. it takes a few seconds to synchronize the two storage servers. Just try it again after a few seconds (depending on the size ~10-30s) edit3 there were some fileupload-errors. i hope i have fixed this problem :/
i've found an error while syncing the files between the storage-servers. this could result in some images / attachements not being accessible for all members. i've restarted the synchronisation-process. this will take some times - after this, it should hopefully be fixed & the sync will commence normally in both directions. i've now got another appointment, but i will try to look into in on my way. Hopefully this is fixed in a few hours. Otherwise, i have to do a full resync, which would result in an unplanned offline-time of about 5 hours :/
I guess every change will bring some - fixable - problems with it. But if there is no change, there is no progress. And who wants no progress... Thanks for your hard Sunday work.
Since the site came back today, I now see a chaturbate ad/plugin after every single post and in every single thread which looks like this: I had to disable it since it made scrolling difficult.
chompy added new ads. i've set this back to only be shown at the end of the content ... i have to talk to him again. This thingy ... is totaly annoying
After experiering strange things, all i thought was: but ... it looks like, it's back working again? that was some strange xenforo error >.< looks like it's not used to get it balanced over multiple servers :&
DDOS on one of our Datacenter ... nothing to do here, but to wait :/ sorry edit seems to be fixed now
I tried to log in today with two browsers. After 10 attempts it keeps auto-logging me off immediately. I have to select "stay logged on" to do anything. First time this ever happened.
Is there an index problem? I've added 6 posts to my thread, but they show, then they don't, but I can't edit them as I get a message saying they don't exist.
anybody experience constant error? Today I always get error. Whenever I try to open a post or when I create a thread. Sometimes it will say I don't have enough permission, sometimes it will say the post does not exist.
yes it seems constant at the moment, hopefully we can get it resolved very soon, sorry for every bodies inconvenience, it is happening in my PM's as well, I deleted that one
