Finally back on a few minutes ago!
Thanks to you and Karoly, Pal.
Good job.

It seems you pedalled hard enough to get the generator going. Glad to have you back.

No need to apologise. What you do for this site is always appreciated.

oko94 · « **Reply #205 on:** June 18, 2023, 09:26:59 AM »

It's fixed now, thank you.

Many thanks Pal.

I assume that today's problems were the usual gremlins that attack every few months. Mine came back on about 2 hours ago.

Anyway, thanks Karoly.

Nobody else has commented, but I assume I was not alone in being unable to log-on all day yesterday? That's twice in 5 days.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #209 on:** March 24, 2024, 06:54:18 AM »

Yes, It happened twice. Thanks who fixed it.

Carnut · « **Reply #210 on:** March 24, 2024, 11:56:44 AM »

I did manage to log in yesterday but only at the third attempt and even then it was very slow to react..
Seems OK today though.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #211 on:** March 31, 2024, 12:57:23 AM »

I don't know what happened the last two days, but thanks who solved it

nicanary · « **Reply #212 on:** March 31, 2024, 06:02:24 AM »

Many thanks to Pal and Karoly.

And thanks again!

Does anyone know the reason for the quite frequent unavailability problems of our site? Anything to worry about?

kwgibbs · « **Reply #215 on:** April 12, 2024, 10:40:31 AM »

I second that,is someone trying to close this site down for good?I certainly hope not.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #216 on:** April 12, 2024, 11:19:22 AM »

It's a worrying thing, I wish to know why its happening so frecuently

The only one who is able to get us up and running again when the site does fail is Pal's brother.
He knows that it keeps happening far too frequently and will be working on curing it. Hopefully he'll be successful but it may take a little while to sort out.

nicanary · « **Reply #218 on:** April 12, 2024, 04:20:31 PM »

We must never forget that Pal and Karoly do all necessary admin work without any remuneration. I'm sure they're doing their very best to stop any future shutdowns but if any security measures are required which cost money then I think we need to join together to raise the funds.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #219 on:** April 12, 2024, 04:36:20 PM »

There are two connecting reasons: SMF (the forum-engine of Autopuzzles) has a tendency to create logs. These logs take up server space. Eventually there's no more space - then the site collapses. Log is deleted manually and this vicious circle starts again.
And then there's the server itself. It is ancient and every software on it is so ancient that it can't be modified without crashing everything (beyond Autopuzzles there are 1-2 other sites in there).
My brother is aware of the situation, but he's quite reluctant to move AP and the other two sites to a new server as it'll sure cause problems.
Therefore we'd like to ask just a little more patience, the server will eventually be moved, the SMF log creation will be stopped.

Thanks for your understanding.

On another note: 2024 shaped up to be one of my craziest years in the last 15 years or so. Any dreams, plans, ideas to work on AP have been washed away as I can barely keep up with my daily tasks. Sorry about that.

Wendax · « **Reply #220 on:** April 13, 2024, 01:48:41 AM »

Thanks for the information, no criticism intended at all. I don't know what we would do without you and your brother.

Carnut · « **Reply #221 on:** April 13, 2024, 10:00:59 AM »

We absolutely appreciate your and Karoly's help and assistance with keeping the site running, Pal.
If money is needed to change things I'm sure the members will all be queueing up to chip in!

It is not about the money, it is mostly about the inconvenience of moving site and SMF is not a user-friendly system.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #223 on:** April 27, 2024, 10:21:03 AM »

We now have a promise from my brother that the site will not collapse in the foreseeable future. Fingers are crossed

nicanary · « **Reply #224 on:** April 27, 2024, 11:00:16 AM »

Thanks Pal.
