First click on this link about a minute ago resulted in this error:

Second click worked fine

I've had exactly the same thing happen to me on an intermittant basis over the past few days. Emphasis on `intermittant'—mostly things work OK, but then, without apparent rhyme or reason, these baffling error messages drop out of the sky...

And this too:

vBulletin datastore error caused by one or more of the following:

1. You may have uploaded vBulletin 3.6 files without also running the vBulletin upgrade script. If you have not run the upgrade script, do so now.
2. The datastore cache may have been corrupted. Run Rebuild Bitfields from tools.php, which you can upload from the do_not_upload folder of the vBulletin package.


Fatal error: vBulletin datastore cache incomplete or corrupt in /includes/init.php on line 213

But, it posted the first time anyway.

I got the same message, and the same successful post in spite of it.

I'm seeing a trend emerging, but still don't have enough to pin it down exactly.

Well, here's some more data for you. A couple of minutes ago I came back to my computer after being gone about 45 minutes and attempted to refresh the front page. It stalled out completely a couple of times, so I went to the main MT page (not the forum page) and clicked on the "Forums" link; then it sat and attempted to load for several minutes before coming up with this:

Then I went back to the main MT page again, clicked on "Forums", and it loaded immediately.

We're still tracking this issue. I can't recreate it which is why it's taking a while. We think it's caused be our backup routine causing problems.

In the mean time, I really do apologize for the continued issues.

No worries - I posted so the information could help you track it down, not to complain.

While trying to go from the main page to the forums page I got a server error. [SERVER UNABLE TO RESPOND]

I understand high loads and large databases will make this hard to correct without spending lots of money for new servers. Yet I wanted to let you know.

Thanks

Obviously, the software is biased against Wing Chun.

:lool: Except that I got the same message just trying to get into the forum at all! :lool:

The techs are trying some optimizations. I'm hampered by a some phone and dsl issues right now. Please, keep the reports coming though.

Thank you.

A few minutes ago (until I could get the site to load) - I got this:

This might not be related, but I'm periodically seeing situations where the number of replies are exceeding the number of views.

I'm sure this is low on the list of priorities, but I thought I'd go ahead and raise the flag...

A fews minutes ago I was having loading problems and posting problems. Like a system load issue.

Views aren't updated in real time any more. Saves a little load.

Loads still running pretty high, and it's still beyond my ability to fund an upgrade regularly, so we tweak where we can. I'm debating on a few major things to try, some of which will take the site down for a few days.

 

[Kacey]

It did again (see error message, below) and then the site wouldn't load for about 3-4 minutes.

Saw that. Hugh load spike for some reason. Looking into it.

 

[exile]

Had exactly the same thing happen to me as Kacey. A few minutes and then the site was loading faster than ever.

But still not as fast as it was up to a few weeks ago. I still have that problem with these crazey 10-20 second busy-waits every time I change from one location to another within MT—even something as simple as clicking myself into the following or preceding page in a thread. It never used to happen...
