Topic: Errors

[GRAYWOLF]

I get blocked from Classmates and Myspace as "Dating" sites. I can get to Radio-info.com which is another Lewis Media message board site.

On a somewhat related note, this afternoon I noticed that AutoPuzzles is now blocked by websense. That will cut down on my lunch hour browsing. Might be worth looking into. I checked websense's sight but there wasn't any obvious place to search for a list of blocked sites and/or the reason they're on the blacklist.

Are we still websense blocked?

[GRAYWOLF]

I am at work now.

I am at work now.

Apparently, not.   

[GRAYWOLF]

I didn't say I was working...just that I am here!

Guess you could say, I am hard(ly) at work!

Is this still the case for you?

Nope, comes up fine from work now.

Did you all change hosts from GoDaddy, cause lately the site has been working really well, pages loading quickly etc....

GoDaddy worked with me to move the database to a new server.

From time to time I get the message "An Error Has Occurred!" up on my screen while trying to read posts on AutoPuzzles.com. It also says "sorry arejh, you have been banned from this forum". Which I don't think I have. I think maybe the problem occurs when I try to browse the site in multiple windows at the same time (maybe the system interprets this as two people trying to use my account at the same time?). The solution to the problem is to erase the internet log and cookies, but it is a bit boring to do that all the time because that also erases all the web pages I DO want the browser to remember...

Anybody else noticed the same problem?

I believe I have fixed it.

Let me know if you have any more errors.

OK, this isn't really an error, but there seems to be an increasing amount of spam on this site. I realize that the administrators delete this and block the 'users' as soon as it is discovered, but isn't there a way to prevent this - like the way you're always asked to "repeat these numbers" when signing up for something on the Web?

We are doing the best we can!

I'm sure you are! I didn't mean to criticize

Is anyone experiencing the same problems with Autopuzzles as I do recently ? For instance, when I click on a topic, the address bar stays on "http://www.a", then nothing, for 30 seconds before my browser can upload the page (which it does quite quick once allowed). It's not my connection, I don't have the probleme with other websites.
The worst is when I try to post an answer, and it gets real bad when it's a new topic with an attachment. More often than not, after one minute I get an error message saying it didn't come through because I have been disconnected.
If it happens to others, I think some people may be pissed off if they experience that and we may lose many visits.

I am not having these issues as of yesterday.  I just got on the site today and will try to see if anyt5hing could be causing this.  Thanks for letting me know.

I found it very much like that recently.
As with you, all other regular sites seem to work as fast as usual on the connection I have.
It took me several goes to post something with a photo this morning - at one time it told me someone had posted whilst I was composing my post, but no-one had and I think it had half-received what I'd tried to send.
Perhaps there are too many of us using it these days, or there are too many active threads

If Ultra doesn't have the same trouble, I'm wondering if this has to do with us both being in Europe. It occurred to me once with some US websites, just maybe 5% of them, but it never lasted that long and here it's only with Autopuzzles. Some kind of bad transatlantic connection? Aren't these things travelling by satellite?

[Ultra]

I have now just finished optimizing the forum for performance.  Keep me posted as to how it is working for you.

I've found it sometimes takes 15-30 seconds for a selected topic to open. This has happened sporadically, and I assumed it was my connection that was causing the delays.

This happens to me on rare occasion too.  It can be my browser or the hosting server being very busy.  The problem usually resolves itself within minutes when it occurs.

Nothing changed on my side of the line, though. Still seems rusty.

If it may be of some use, this the error message I had while trying to post a new puzzle with an attachment:

Database Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
File: /home/content/K/a/r/KarnUtz/html/forum/Sources/Post.php
Line: 1162

I get this message at the bottom of every AP forum page:

Page created in 1.117 seconds with 14 queries.

The pages are loading fast here.  I don't know what to do to help you.

Yeah, the message about losing the connection to the server is quite frequent on my screen as well, especially when posting a new puzzle. Also, when replying to other threads I often get the message that I've already submitted the post when I haven't. That particular one is quite annoying, as it won't let me go back in my browser and post it again - it just leaves the same message no matter how long I wait, so I have to go back to the original thread and click 'reply' all over again, and write the message again.

And the message at the bottom of this very page says this at the moment:

Page created in 49.9 seconds with 22 queries.

A bit slower than in the US, I guess
