Site Hanging

I composed the first movement of my symphony while this thread was loading.

Oh, the perils of making ad hoc changes to a production server. Guess I'll say goodbye, now, before we crash and burn.

On the bright side.... I have time to do the laundry between posts.

I composed the first movement of my symphony while this thread was loading.

I had time to meet a woman on the internet, visit her in her country, come home, file K-1, get NOA2--through CSC mind you, get through the interview, fly her here, divorce her, meet another girl, fly to her country to meet her, come back, and I'm thinking I won't have to file a waiver to apply for another K-1.

Post time-stamped at 10:55 but it actually posted at 10:58, fwiw.

Congratulations! And welcome to VJ!

This is the WORST time yet. Taking almost 5 solid minutes to load any page. IP errors saying servicer has dropped me. Cannot even access any new posts. Getting ready to walk away and not even bother today. It is that bad-!!!

I'd say this site has outgrown its britches and needs to start wearing some big boy pants!

I don't think people realize how many people use this site.... I am sure that slows down the site a lot....

I haven´t had any problems sofar...

I had taken the search engine offline to stem the server load. It is back up now.

I am rolling back out the evil slow down patch (it should really speed things up). I am doing it slow and controlled and watching the long, so fingers crossed. Please send me an email at... admin at visa journey if things are acting up!

Wow. I had a safety net I wrote a while back that auto disabled the search when the server load was too high. Turns out it posted the error message correctly but the search processed in the background regardless (what good is that). I have fixed the issue (also raised the limit). This will certainly prevent todays problem from happening again. On a side note I think I have resolved issue from this morning and the speed up tool is working now .

I feel ripped off that I could have had the results of my search instead of that error message.

Lol. Like finding out diet coke had a bunch of calories and you could have juts had real coke instead .

[Captain Ewok 1,900]

I just wanted to tell everyone that the change I made has resulted in much lower server loads on average and the site has been running better than ever. Additionally certain commonly used features should be faster to use around the forums .

great job, Capt

Always appreciate the job you do Ewok! While things were running really well...I have noticed extreme slowdowns in the last few days. Early in the morning. When I thought maybe there weren't as many people here. I keep plugging away, but last Friday, I just gave up posting.
