Sunshyne4u | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 07:06 pm     I have tried to post in the Live show spoiler thread and keep getting 'server error' yet here I am starting this thread. The only thing I wonder about is......If posting the captured pics was going to recrash the site, why werent people WARNED? |
Dan | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 07:08 pm     That my friend is called TRAFFIC. |
Hamsterlady | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 07:10 pm     And Sunshyne, there were no pics being posted Sat afternoon when the site crashed or on Monday or on Tuesday.... There's just lots of people on here. Which is very typical for a Wednesday show. |
Chy | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 07:27 pm     I was shut out until now! Every time I tried, it said can not find .... or Error 404.... I thought the baord crashed again, since I restarted my pc and nothing hapenned. I couldn't even get in to the Mirro site. If it's traffic, I guess my weak pc is just not ever going to be able to join everyone here during show time! Too bad! |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 07:50 pm     Had the same problem, Chy - couldn't get here, and trying since the show ended out east, LOL! And I don't have a weak pc either. It's the first time that I couldn't get here for the show spoilers, so I had to find another site. BBchatter.com has someone who spoils the shows, so at least I could find out that Erika was evicted son after it ended. But it wasn't the same as being at the party here! |
Crossfire | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 07:55 pm     Chat is the place to be when the server is huffing and puffing. |
Sunshyne4u | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 08:02 pm     I have been coming here for years. Never have had this problem so many times in a row. I wasnt taking a poke at you, Hamsterlady.....I LOVE the pics and appreciate them even more since cancelling live feed coverage (due to boredom and shortage of cash). However, if the server was not able to handle the extra, It would have been nice to know prior to the Live show and impending crash. I have just been able to get back on this site now. ***** If I am very lucky THIS post might actually make it into the thread LOL Is there a link to the Chat? Crossfire....where and how? |
Bohawkins | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 08:20 pm     Sunshyne4u... look at the top of this page and click on the word Chat |
Crossfire | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 08:24 pm     Yep, chat link is at the top of the screen. |
Hamsterlady | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 08:28 pm     Sun, the site is ALWAYS slow on Wednesday nights. It's not my pics that did (or ever did) crash anything on this site. And like I said earlier, there weren't even any pics being posted earlier this week when it crashed. I didn't do it. There are just so many people coming here that it makes it slow. And with it being towards the end of the game more people are loading and reloading the pages and it makes the site even slower. I'm sorry but I can't help it that there are so many people coming here. and BTW, chat is always accessible by clicking the Chat icon in the upper right of any page on this site. |
Sunshyne4u | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 08:30 pm     THX I tried that link one live show this season and couldnt get in.....LOL That is the only problem I have ever had on this site, in all the years since BB1 LOL |
Stingerman | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 08:33 pm     Why is this site so bad lately? Last year there were 10 times the amount of posts as this year and the site was 10 times as quick. |
Chy | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 08:55 pm     Hi, Bernie. Thanks for telling me that. For a while I thought the problem was on my end, since the callwave.com I use also gave me trouble at that exact same time. (Being freelancer I pay great attention to that.) I go to other sites every now and then but never talked anywhere else but here. You're absolutely correct about this party being the best one. I was in the middle of posting to the spoiling thread. I promised Hampsterlady to "fill holes" for live show tonight. Good thing EZ was doing a great job, I don't haveta feel guilty there! I never have problems downlaoding/viewing screen caps, I suppose it's the great traffic alright. But why couldn't I even get in the Mirror Site? |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:26 pm     CHY, Sometimes the whole internet seems to have a hiccup, and everything gets slow for a while - that's happened to me lots of times. I always rush to ask my younger son (who's the computer expert in my family) when it happens because I think it's the computer, and he's always so blase, and just says 'Wait it out'. It drives me NUTS when I'm in a hurry to find out who's evicted or become new HOH! I just gave up trying after posting the above post because it was taking ages just to open the threads. I watched the show and folded laundry, and now everything is fine and working well again, so here I am - I hope by now that things are working right for you too!  |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:29 pm     It might be a problem with the network backbone where you live. I had no problems posting tonight or page loading threads. Sometimes the net is slow in different parts of the country. That would be my guess. Slow network backbone or a latency problem. |
Ryn | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:07 pm     The server was under an extreme load. Just an FYI - apparently we are on a temporary server - we will be moved again (this time with warning we hope and not as the result of a crash) - and hopefully it will be AFTER BB. When the competitions are going - people sit there and hit refresh, refresh, refresh on the live feeds page over and over and over again - every 10 seconds. I have seen a co-worker in my office do it during a veto competition. That REALLY bogs down the server. SO imagine how it was tonight. Anyways - all is well and chances are tonight is the last night we will have that kind of tension on the feeds. |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:15 pm     Thanks for the info Ryn. I was hoping it was just the high traffic and not another crash, heaven forbid! Dunno about network backbone or latency, Wendo- I'm pc illiterate, alas, but my server is one of the biggest cable companies up here north of the border, and we pay for high speed internet, and most of the time it's just fine. |
Sunshyne4u | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:34 pm     I still find it puzzling as so few people seemed to be here online posting on the LIVE SHOW thread.....often there are posts for an hour ahead of time! Must have been the Lurkers ha ha |
Stingerman | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 06:11 am     No Wendo I could go to any other site I wanted very quickly, but when I tried to access this site it would either fail or take up to a minute to load the page. If this board is sitting on a backup server then that would explain alot. |
Chy | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 07:49 am     Same with me, Wendo. It couldn't be the network, since I was able to stroll in to any Chinese publications in the world-- that's usually a good way for me to test my end. Sunshyne is right also, at the time there wasn't many posting on the thread. Must be we have a ton of lurckers including the workstudy kids reading for the BB show! ;-D |
Chy | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 07:51 am     Excuse me again, but Ryn, what about the Mirror site? Why did I have trouble there as well? |
