Whee, the UM server eats posts now

[Erik]

It's also down about 87% of the time and cleverly removing the search feature didn't fix it, gee, have a read will you Deron?

That picture made my day. And yes, the site has been acting fucking ridiculously for the last 4ish days.

I agree that while the problems with the server were briefly remedied, the problem is back tenfold and once again, half the time I try to connect I get the same old "cannot find server" error message.

My immediate solution to counter the frustrating "post eating" problem is to select the entire body of your typed post and hit "Edit" "Copy" prior to hitting "Submit". This will allow you to re-paste the message back into a reply without worrying about typing it all over again (especially good for those ultra-long posts).

I came up with that solution after having that exact same problem on numerous occasions. It is so frustrating to spend 20 minutes typing a post only to hit submit and have the post eaten by the ol' "cannot find server" error message.

Yeah it's been pretty well fucked lately. Again. As usual. Blah.

 

[JayKeeley]

The UM server is a *bong*

 

[Ayeka]

That picture is cruel!

Though you wouldn't believe the pain I had posting my Judas Priest rant >_<

 

[mousewings]

It's so slow too. Even on high speed. :/

 

[NAD]

This is all I can think of when I read the topic of this thread.

This is like the 2 post that has gotten through today--If it does in fact go through. I just gave up.

 

[NAD]

Now we're back to normal fucked-upped-ness.

Seriously, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY do it do what it do? I've been an intarweb g33k for like 10 years, and I have never seen a website behave so utterly craptastic. Even the old Roadrunner message boards in the mid-90s were better than this crap, that was like the Atari of internet forums (well, maybe NES)!

I'm gonna breaK SOMETHING.

$10 on the following scenario:

Deron: Hi guys, the problem is soon going to be fixed, I'm just going to tweak the Vbulletin code a bit, everything will be back to normal soon.

"Some" RC regulars: Wow, thanks Deron, you're a really cool guy!

Hi guys, the problem is soon going to be fixed, I'm just going to tweak the Vbulletin code a bit, everything will be back to normal soon.

 

[Henrik Main]

But how can we know it's really true this time?

 

[MetalAges]

Hehe... i *think* I foundthe offending issue and it actually wasn't the forum this time (if it maintains. Was a band's site using some whacked out countdown timer script. Let me know if it runs fine for you from here on today. (and it looks like the page was made/posted 3 days ago, same when ti started running crappy again).

 

[MetalAges]

By the way that graphic was pretty good, there's hope for you yet Erik! I'll pray about it for you.

 

[Henrik Main]

I "guess" da RC crew will get back to you if it isn't running fine.

 

[MetalAges]

My bleeding ears are prepared don't worry.

 

[NAD]

Wow, thanks Deron, you're a really cool guy!

 

[Ayeka]

In all seriousness, it seems ok right now...

...just to tempt fate
