Has this website had issues lately being up?

[DaveLembke]

Hello...Just checking to see if anyone else has seen this web site up and down when trying to access it. Sometimes it resolves the URL correctly, othertimes it comes up with it not resolving and comes up with the suggestion page. Sometimes I will go to post info and long delay and it doesnt get to computerhope.

I have a dedicated fiber corporate connection, so I am pretty sure its not at my end.

Thanks,

Dave

I was about to ask same question. I've noticed this for the first time on Sunday late afternoon.
It still was happening to me today.
Also, once in a while, pages take 30-45 sec to load.

Its been giving me problems for the past three days. I try to log on to site and It takes forever or just doe's not connect.  other times It go's rite to the site, Hey that rhymes!!

Same here, and it's been quite bad today.

I gather the site has been migrated to new hosting arrangements. Is that why it keeps crapping out? Does anybody know?

I for one know there seems to be less and less traffic...i put up with the connection issues only because i don't like to leave people hanging with unresolved issues.
But it has indeed been a chore both to even log on most times and to post.
I got into the habit of copy/paste of replies because i had lost so many on attempting to post.

I understand server issues...i also remember it was crappy before the move to the new server. For a brief while right after the move it was golden...but it's far from that now.

All i can say is be patient and let's see how it goes.
Hopefully things will improve and or at least get back to when there were few connection issues...

Yep, all the above, me too.

So far, I've only had two instances of a connection issue lasting longer than a minute.  But I have to imagine that it's probably going to put some people off if they can't get into the site easily.  If it continues this way and we don't seen Nathan anytime soon, perhaps one of us could page him or send a text message his way.  It would be more effective than e-mail if he's been away from his computer.

and we don't seen Nathan anytime soon

Nathan was here just four hours back, I'm sure he'll look into this as soon as he can, he's had to do so much with the forum already, all the server ordeal and everything, lets just give him a lil time, a site that has been around for so long won't just die in a day or two.

I will leave him a few messages today in all the places that I can think of.


I know you guys don't wanna hear this ........but......be patient.

I want to say three things:
1. I agree 100% with what patio said.
2. Those, who say, they have minimal problems, apparently are not around here often enough.
3. I'm seriously considering taking a break from CH, until the issues are solved. The only thing, which puts me on hold is "i don't like to leave people hanging with unresolved issues". But enough may be enough.

P. S. I have to say this. I do. The whole issue started around Sunday, 8 days ago. Since then, Nathan visited here several times. I personally feel little bit offended by a lack of any single word from him about the issue. Just something like: "Hey guys, I'm aware of the problems, I'm working on it". Nothing was said. I think, we deserve that little for all hard work, we've been doing around here.
I had to spit it out. Thank you.

...and the email notification stopped working again...have a good night...

2. Those, who say, they have minimal problems, apparently are not around here often enough.

That makes sense; but I also think it might be a time-based thing; for example, I get home from work at around 8AM; but everyday when I first attempt to visit CH I have problems (timeout). However; around 10 AM it works fine. It also appears to have a few problems in the late evening as well, but usually (for me) during the late morning and afternoon it's golden.

I must be logging in on strange times because I've yet to encounter any issues with the forum and/or site or see anything in the logs that seem to indicate serious issues. I did recently add an addition 2GB of memory recently to help accommodate for the busy times of the day that were getting maxed out on connections so I assumed I would of had no issues for a long time but based of your above posts I guess that's wrong I'll try to watch the site/forums more closely during all times of the day.

If you can let me know what times you're encountering the issues and I'll watch them more closely or try to look at the logs.If I was running into issues as well the issues would of been looked at but this is a first for me. Been getting 90%+ pages generated in less than a second.

[Computer Hope Admin]

This morning I've ran a repair on the DB and will run a few more maintenance things on the site and DB later tonight when it's slower while I wait for additional replies about if this is still occuring and when and while I try to watch the site and server even closer.

[Computer Hope Admin]

It's being looked at. I personally haven't had any issues, so have been under the impression that everything was fine. I believe it could be that this last week with the holidays I've been logging in at non-busy times.

I've made a few adjustments that I hope will resolve the latest issues. Let me know if you run into issues and if so what time (with time zone) or try to create a post in this thread with your time stamp so I can try to look at the logs more closely.
