Yet another example of the reliability issues which plague this site on a constant basis.

I can't seem to quote other people's comments either, it is taking me about 8 attempts to even log in and the BA forum looks knackered as the threads are not showing as being updated and all the times are wrong, even though the threads have been updated if you actually go in to them 
Reliability seems very bad lately and always worse on Friday's for some reason.

Are any of the FT admins actually doing anything in trying to fix this? Me thinks it's time for a hardware upgrade...

Very strange and mixed today. This morning my e-mail inbox had a couple of subscribed thread posts and a couple of PMs re the upcoming Oz Do.
When I opened FT this morning my first try was a sort-of cached page with no entries after 7 p.m. and some minutes (my time) last night, 11 hours earlier. It's been sporadic all morning, and I trust FT support is aware of this and working on it.
Cheers,
Fredd

I tinhk most of the db errors are due to going back to vbulletin search, there is a special way you have to do vbulletin search in a large vbulletin site. It is done on different servers dedicated to search. I wonder if they are trying to use it all of the same servers.

Once again, this is not the regular vBulletin search and yes, search is being run from it's own server.

Yes. We were working on the slave db server until 1am PST and then back working on it at 6:30am. We've been working on it all day since then. In order to be proactive, we did a hardware upgrade and unfortunately around that time is when these problems escalated.
We hope. At this time, the system should be stable, but there may be some turbulence from time to time as we attempt to modify the current configuration.

Thanks for the update IB-Dick ^ Seems to be relatively stable at the moment which is a good sign!

Starting to see some slowness right now; pages are taking a while to load. No DB errors yet.

FT is very slow for me right now. Updating where we all live is difficult at this speed.

At the time you posted this we were having an issue with the slave db server. It's not 100% stable, but it's better.
Same issue at this time, only not as bad of an issue.
We are activly working on fixing this problem and should have a solution in place soon.
