Website slow

[Auto Doc's]

Hello Ibrahim,

Not out of the woods yet. As has day wears on, the site is hanging up trying to open posts or send replies.

10:15 TX CST using Outlook on Windows 10, I get to the site fine, write my reply to a post and then hit post reply and watch it time out the right top of the screen, wait a couple of extra minutes and then hit post reply again and it does the same thing. Took 4 attempts before the reply would post.

I get out of the site and then try to come back, and it hangs up and I have to hit refresh in my upper tool bar browser to get the page to load.

Thanks. I've been turning logging on to try to track some of the slowdowns. It's not trigging some logs so I'm trying to turn on more logs to sniff it out. But right now it's loading quickly through my tests. But I agree we're probably not out of the woods, so I'm going to not touch the site for about an hour or so and let's just see how it works. Please let me know of any slowdowns. I'll get it fixed.

Launched another "tab" in latest updated FireFox. No luck.

Launched Edge browser. Same thing, pages do not load.

For me, doesn't seem to be a browser issue.

Most times it will not load anything. Other times I will type in a reply, but it will not allow me to post it. I must quit the site, not log out, open new, reenter my material and try to post.

I've had to SAVE a post in word BEFORE posting a reply and come back in day or two and try to post reply later.
Not a good thing to type a long help reply trying to help someone and then the reply get lost in outer space and gone forever.

THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW THAT YOU are not deaf and ARE TRYING TO "get er dun"

As of 10:00am Pacific (1pm Eastern) I have blocked some repeating bot traffic that might have been hammering the connections. Try flushing out your cache and closing your browser and loading it fresh (Opening a fresh "private" window should also trigger a fresh load of LMF)

Not declaring it fixed yet, just updating you guys and asking for more trouble reports here...

More fixes have been implemented. Please report slow loading if it happens after 1:45pm EDT today.

 

[Ibrahim]

See you later if your site ever gets fixed. I tired of cussing the screen. No point getting my Afib stirred any more than it is already.

BYE FOR NOW...

Apologies for the unacceptably long time without getting back to you or fixing it.

We've implemented a number of fixes today that seems to have improved things (at least it's held steady for the past 3 hours.) And I've got my eyes on it to make sure it does improve if the fixes we worked on today aren't the culprit.

Maybe the site's improved enough for you to give us another try.

Logged in and out many times yesterday and this morning, no problems yet. Thank you for your help and due diligence in hopefully solving the problem.

Thanks to all the folks that have stuck with this issue and finally hammered it out (I hope).

So far, knock on wood, everything has been going smoothly.

We're all knocking on wood daily here but it does seem like things are patched up. I've been watching the logs and they haven't been showing the same issues we had over the past months. I'm going to set up some alerts that will hopefully warn me if it starts happening again. But if it starts happening again, make a new post (or reply to this one) and we'll see it. Faster than last time, I promise.
