Website slow

[Ibrahim]

I am monitoring it and have been noticing the slowdowns. I haven't been able to find what's causing them yet, but I've put more active monitoring in place.

It happens even at 2AM when I'm working all night or cannot sleep. The afternoons are the worst.

I have the impression that the server is constantly overloaded and nothing is being archived.

Well the server is being monitored more now. I did find a misconfigured script that hopefully was the culprit with our constant timeouts. But I'll be monitoring it and we'll see.

Your efforts are appreciated; some very good members have dropped out due to the hangups.

We are all just trying to help people the best way we can without added aggravations of a slow site.

We appreciate you using the forum! And I want to apologize for the really crappy performance over the past several months. I thought it was more stable than it was because I had "fixed" it a few times over the past months. But while I thought it was something taking time to build up, it was a bug that was almost immediately gumming up the works. It's been only 12 hours since I tried a fix but it SEEMS like I may have found the culprit.

For those curious: A monitoring script was "half-installed" but not configured so it kept trying to login to check the status of the database. But using a wrong username. No big deal? Sure, except it was also set to try to check EVERY MINUTE.

That's been cleared up and fixed and so far it's been about 12 hours and it's been ok. A little too early to claim victory, but fingers crossed.

If anyone notices bugs going forward, comment here and I'll read it and take a look. Thanks again for your patience.

Update: While I'm having some success with the fix, I'm having a slowdown on another browser even though the first browser is able to access fast.

I'm digging into this more and looking at fixes. Sorry for continued frustration and please do let me know here if it seems fixed for you or if you have more problems!

Well here it is just as bad if not worst. It is like our American government going to hell in a hand basket.

So it best for me to delete my secure password and user email address from Firefox and forget the site. I threaten to do this enough so today is the day that I do it. I had plan to leave the site on June 30 if things didn't improve, the site just had to piss me off this morning. BYE BYE.

Besides the heatwave here seems to breaking and I got a lot work to get done. Z930 where both transaxle got come out, a 345 where the gas tank needs removing to clean it out, Finish up a Toro ZTR, try get the HPX going hoping it was just a carb problem, Hustler with broken transaxle mounts, kid's ATV repair, etc [8 plus major repairs] . And those just came in this week. Not mention the 6 acres is overgrown and need a lot of mowing to be done. The only thing that went right this week was I finally got a haircut Friday.

Let us know if the performance has improved for you. We're working on getting it fixed. Thanks

I don’t see any changes this morning. Took me 30 minutes of trying before it let me log in and forum is very slow. I appreciate all your efforts and can’t wait for you to resolve the problem. Good Luck.

If you encounter a slow load, try a new browser window. That seems to be something that's going on right now where one browser will be hanging but another will load fine.

I think I’ve tried that in the past, to no avail. You must remember that many of us can fix most small engines, but are computer idiots, that’s me.
