'The official I think I grew my 5 oclock shadow waiting for my thread to post' post

OMFG, I swear I was wondering why is there a lack of activity in the normally busy 203 section and it has A LOT to do w/this busy server crap I get everytime I want to post or access my usercp....Can anything be done to have this fixed?? Of course I know this server is free but as of late this busy thing is REALLY bad and it has been documented in the suggestions thread. A lot of other forums are free and it aint this bad. I mean I know if the admins were to ask us for a 'donation' so they can attend to this i am sure we will do it, right MBWorlders?? Ok just had to vent lol cuz i've been trying to post for the last 10 min....Go on w/your Tuesday


So what do you guys do during the wait?? Mow the lawn, unfluff your pillows, talk to the wife?

I will link your comments to the administrator's cafe so they have visibility. At some time we'll need to move this to the suggestions forum, though.

EDIT to note that this post took all of 5 seconds to complete...

sometime 5 secs, sometimes more or even less. just the "luck of the draw". i noticed ppl complaining about problems with posting pics. so when i tried to post a pic, it went rather quickly with no problems at all.

Enri,

I have been married too long to want to talk to the wife.

I have noticed a HUGE increase in the number of times that people have two (or more) copies of their posts show up, including myself even once. This is caused by people clicking on the "Submit Reply" button and, when it doesn't post in a reasonable time, clicking it again. Obviously, the server is struggling more than it used to. End of the world? No. Annoying? Definitely.

I've been having nothing but problems ever since the crash recovery. There are also lots of others who have complained but they were probably not noticed by the admins.

Anyways, I'm glad a mod is taking notice of this. Here are some of the problems I've been having:

- More often than not I can't upload pictures. When I do I just sit and wait for 2 minutes, then am presented with a blank white screen. When I try to resubmit the server will tell me I've tried to upload a duplicate image. WTF! And I know many have had this problem because I've seen posts complaining about this.

- Replies often take 10+ seconds to post. This is why there's a dramatic increase in duplicate posts. People click the submit button after 10-20 seconds of no response from the server. This is annoying as heck.

Definately slow.... something it works fine, sometimes it doesn't. Some other times you get an error message... in other words... too freaking slow....

Wonder if it'd help to set the server to reboot itself once a week or something, maybe Sundays at 3 a.m.? Maybe something's leaky and hogging system resources?

Also, I've been seeing quite a few port scan things at the lab; is there another internet worm going around or something? Hopefully the server's not infected with anything.
