Arbor Gold Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hey, I know I'm logged in, but when I try to send a PM or view someone's profile, I get the screen that says I don't have permission. Weird? I'm on Firefox v. 3.0 on a Mac.Hmm, also the list of posters viewing a topic is missing, and on the home page, the full list of everyone currently viewing the forum is blank.

Arbor Gold Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'll be very embarrassed if this is some sort of weird ban specific to me... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Sorry, folks. As I noted elsewhere, I turned off some features to avoid the post-show crush leading too a lot of MySQL errors. That included profiles. We are now back in standard mode, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Standard mode is failing! Argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Okay, a lengthy down time again, for which we apologize! We experimented with increasing max_connections, as we thought we had dealt with some issues with ACP that caused problems when there were too many connections spinning off httpd queries...Well, that was not the best decision. The server began to swap memory approximately every .25 seconds. Not. Good.So not good, that our valiant and incredible host, Sparks, wasn't able to do anything. She'd get it to reboot... and by the time she could access it, you guys were flooding it again! In the end, a data center tech had to shut down Apache as the machine started, to let her get back into it and put things back to the previous levels.Unfortunately, multiple reboots and all also led to some database corruption, so we had to take it down again and correct that.Now, it's okay, though doubtless we shall get the usual SQL errors, for which we apologize.We have a few more tricks up our sleeves, and may even move to an (even beefier) server, where perhaps a fresh install of various things may give us a better chance of dealing with the traffic.

Mad Queen Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I thought I was being punished for being a bad girl and posting spoilers in the wrong thread. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for the spoilers -- sometimes it's hard to remember that not everyone here has read the books, as it used to be in the good old times ... :grouphug: Oh, and I hope this site gets even more traffic and fame, even if it means more SQL errors and no PMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebenstone Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 This is happening to me as well. Not a big deal, just letting you know it's still going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mya Stone Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Me too. I was a little hurt that I thought you'd blocked me from viewing my own profile. It's not like I'm trying to boost my own profile views like Brady or Jacen, you know. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartseverus Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I was so glad to see the above posts, been worried and concerned all day. I tried to contact a mod this morning, got the notice that 'I didn't have permission' to do so. :stunned: My first thought was 'Holy crap, what did I do now? I'm...blacklisted?' Then later in the day, tried to contact another member--same thing. :stunned: I was all like: 'WhatdidIdowhatdidIdowhatdidIdo? And, 'Hey,I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry, won't doitagain,won'tdoitagain, gimmechance,gimmechance,gimmechance!' Whew. Stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colossus the unstoppable Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Im a new member and not very good with computers so when I tried to see my own profile I was very confused. I am glad to find the reason behind the problem and that it is not just me.I shall check back frequently to look for any updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belluthien Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi,New to the Forum & love it, btw. I've had the same thing going on today. I cannot view member profiles or see/edit my own. Glad to hear it's not just me! I was wondering if I somehow got banned before even saying "hello!"y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Temporary measure to reduce the chances of trolls coming to the forum and spamming spoilers. Access will be restored after the book is published on July 12. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
