We know the site is slow... re: Newsletter!

[Mesa]

Great. I have to do a memory upgrade to access newsletter. Maybe SS just switched over to Vista.

 

[Bardoon]

Got to the site and the Newsletter site but the NL isn't up yet.


EDIT: and now the regular site doesn't work again.

poor Chris and Marc....

I have no idea what half of you are talking about!

 

[mfoga]

The sites fine for me

But no newsletter, it just goes to the old newsletter page

 

[lcummins]

What's interesting is that I've had the newsletter page up the whole time... I wonder if it is not on the same server, or doesn't use the database?

The freaks and Sideshow have been through a lot together! And the list is ever growing...

I'm guessing different DB cause I've had it up too...

I would guess that its on a different database, the old site was on one and the new one is on a second one.

I think I'm going to submit this in the "report a bug" link, once its up

yeah, not looking forward to all the customer service emails either... ah, growing pains are so fun!

Look at it this way, at least you guys are in on it at the beginning and can always look back at it as a 'bonding experience' :chew

THEY NEED TO HAVE A BACKUP SERVER READY IN SUCH AN EVENT.......LOOKS LIKE THE MYSQL DATABASE CRASHED.........THATS WHY WE WHO WORK IN THE FIELD OF I.T. HAVE BACKUPS READY...

 

[misbitski]

I don't think the fix is as easy as tweaking a couple lines of code, guys. It's probably a capacity-planning issue. Most likely, the new software/infrastructure just can't handle the load. mySQL always scares me, although I've heard it's grown in leaps and bounds.

Newsletter is probably hosted on a separate server. URLs are different anyway.

Perhaps we should kidnap Leonard Nimoy

are we looking at hours or mins until newsletter dusty?
