Thanks for fixing it up. :)

With FT down/slow, I actually had to do something I really hate doing today... work with no goof-offs! (I too had to check other sites to make sure that it wasn't my machine that was slow but, in fact, FT...) Get well soon, Flyertalk!

It is early morning and I need my FT fix....

It is still slow...

Get well soon FT. :)

Seems as if its back to full strength, good job fellas!

Have not had this problem whatever until 3 minutes ago when I got TEN identical notifications to a new post here:

FT has also been incredibly slow for me too John FWIW, including the past few hours. Where it has been slower than ever, so VERY surprised to read the post before mine?

But seems like you are on top of rectifying things. Thanks. ^

Very slow, to the extent that I frequently get the "website not available" message.

Still slow here. :( :( :( :( :(

Poor performance in San Diego
 

Performance is erratic. Some threads are loading quickly now, and they weren't 2 hours ago. Yet this thread took 5 minutes to load - ironic.

Sorry, John. :(

... very slow here... getting timeouts during postings that are taking ~2 min as I watch the blue progress bar inch along on the bottim of my screen... are the 500 people in chat tonight gonna blow up FT?

Definitely erratic, sometimes things load quickly and sometimes they don't load at all. It all went downhill after that maintenance. I'm feeling the symptoms of FT withdrawal coming on....

Whatever you guys did to it - you broke it. :(

Very slow most of yesterday, with short bursts of normal response/load times. Very slow/timed out/completely broken most of today. :(

Murphy's Law concerning mid-week maintenance or repairs to websites or LANs: It will always be several days before the damage caused by the "scheduled downtime" is repaired. :)

Seriously, though, I realize that you are probably hard at work repairing it as I type - just hope it is fixed in time for the slow Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning timeframes.

Good luck, FlyerTalk guys. :)

Ditto what FWAAA says.

Still long delays and an occaisional "There seems to have been a slight problem with the FlyerTalk Forums database." at 5:30pEDT.

Is there a DBA in the house?

More than just occasional for me. I am sure the techies are working on it as quickly as possible.

Should FT actually be shut down if it will speed up their efforts?

Hello, it is 1AM Swiss time and still VERY slow. Does not really matter, just wanted to inform. Keep the good job.

suuuuuuuuperslow

Very sporadic. Some pages load faster than I can say "Mileage Run," others load so slowly I could DO a mileage run...

Just to echo many others... extremely slow for posts to open... taking more than 5 minutes to load... and I am on a cable modem.

Make the java chat delays pale in comparison.

HHHmmmm... what will I do now? :)

William

Go to the chat -- we have that fixed. ;)

We'll be taking the rebuilt database server back into service tomorrow morning -- so look for a return to normal then.

Just hang on a little bit longer. :D

Thanks John ^ - appreciate the efforts and looking forward to things getting back to normal.

Ditto. ^

(And I promise to only post this once.) ;)

Yeppers... slow until about 2 minutes ago, then I got through the 3 pages of this thread pretty quick.

still slow here

However, the FlyerTalk down "Announcement" now indicates that FlyerTalk will be down most of tomorrow (Friday).

Hopefully then it will be really great afterwards and no more on again off again speed issues like even before the first shutdown. :)

Good luck with the switchover today.

Thanks again for your time and effort supporting the site!!

I think that it is fully back up and working...

Thanks John and everybody at WebFlyer!

Working again but not as fast as before the Wednesday activity.

Anyway - thanks for all you guys do. :)

Ditto!!

In case you haven't noticed we usually overestimate downtime -- just in case.

And a big ^ for getting us back online so quickly today. THANK YOU FT IT team!

Just another 'thank you' for the great work! ^

Again from Switzerland, everything back to normal. A great Thank you to all the technicians ^ ^ ^

Slow again
 

Very slow. This page took aver two minutes to load. Other sites load immediately when launched. BTW I'm on a cable modem at 3meg.

It's not just slow, it's painfully slow. It happened quite abruptly about 30 minutes ago.

Crawlin' here too. :(

Here too. Been bad for 1-2 hours or so. Got worse in last hour.

It must be all that political traffic in OMNI.

What?

Oh..... Nevermind.
