The official AO problem discussion thread :p

Perhaps there should be an official AO problem discussion thread

So everyone can post in just one thread about any issues with the board & stop starting new ones all over the forum

slowing things down even more

Just an idea

We are working on issues but its all down to peoples patience really, every time you refresh when its slow, its just jams up the site. However we are working on the route of the problem, rest assured.

Time to disable the F5 function

PS I'm very patient

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still can't access my sent messages... no problem in itself, but it means I can't delete them and thus my folder is full... coupled with the fact my Beanie hasn't arrived I think Ian needs a jolly good talking to

Still, all this downtime did mean yesterday I spoke to my son for the first time since I joined this site

Hey, Mrs PD holds the purse strings at the moment, I was lucky to get away with actually buying the Spider so I'm not going to push my luck...

Besdies, not sure I want to go to private messaging with the likes of you fuddy duddies

I was up most the night like a real saddo, as u can imagine on valentine night this has not gone down well with the wifey.

Does that count as an "official AO problem" ?

If you search WOT you can join the male masses in the Dog Mansion

Question is, did you find out the route cause of it? Or will I again have to listen to my wifey when the DB fails again?

Did you forget to raise a Support Ticket?

[Just seen what you did to the BORED thread! ]
[I didn't get the chance to catch-up and post in it since end of last year ]

I think most know my thoughts on Valentines Day!

So peops, are things looking better or is it too early (not enough load on the servers etc) to ask?

Oh dear... our thoughts are with you at this unpleasant time of year...

Why does Valentines day have to be such a problem for people? We simply had a bottle of decent Champagne, no chocolates or commercial crap like that, just something we would do anyway once in a while.

David P · #17 (**Post Link**) 15-02-09

Slooooooooooowwwww here also

Edit : It took 2 minutes to post this & at the end I got a crash notice ( white page ) so didn't think the post had gone through t all

PD. · #18 (**Post Link**) 15-02-09

Personal thoughts on this are it's a hardware failure somewhere... without knowing the server setup I wouldn't like to say any more. I don't think it is due to server overload since it's not consistent with the number of users online

Gaz · #19 (**Post Link**) 15-02-09

it always seems to kick me off when the number of online users is higher than normal

Thats what I initially thought, but it aint so I am sure of it... it's something more sporadic

It's cute though, the forum behaves just like an Alfa should

rafe005 · #21 (**Post Link**) 15-02-09

I havent suffered a single problem with the site

I'm obviously special

Listen up P-Diddy

- it is the commercialisation of it which I do indeed not like

BUT there is a time and place to discuss such nuiances and this isn't it

WE? My bag

I Suppose

So adding to your thoughts of late

... maybe it's not the threads or data retrieval from the SQL requests to the database but pagers?

Un-viewed/tracked messages... <---- clutching on those things used to stir drinks rather than used to extract the beverage?
