Why was FT down?
 
I was accessing FT normally earlier today and then it basically shut down and I could not load the page for hours. What happened?

Database problems

There are still issues -- running repair utilities

John, will your continuing work restore our ability to use "new posts"? Right now, it only lists threads from 11pm last night and older.

Actually, just to be clear, I believe that you're getting this. SanDiego1K, only because you're a Moderator.

Others do not retreive these older posts at all. I, for example, get nothing! ;)

I see from this post that others are having the same problems I am having. I will be patient. ;)

Hi doc,

Don't you have the ability normally to search for new posts? I didn't think that was a moderator only capability.

I logged off FT at 10:11pm last night. I was able to get onto FT about 8am (California time) this morning. I then ran "new posts". I get the posts from 10:11pm to 11:13pm, during which time there were 95 new posts. I continue to get only that window of time and those posts if I check for new posts.

Like doc I don't see any new posts when I click on New posts.

I only get a

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Usually yes, but not today unfortunately! :(

I believe the tech guys are working on it as we "speak!" :)

Soon we'll be as good as new, I expect.

As a moderator, I'm getting the same message. Good to know that the HOM folks are on it. ^

We had a table corrupt and it put out of synch the search database and the posting database. Looks like it will take 2 hours of downtime to re-synch and correct - we're just thinking of the best time to put FT down for two hours. Very sorry. Thank you.

Argh.. 2 hours of downtime, and I'm not on the road at all this week. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise: would you consider scheduling the downtime for hours that I'm supposed to be working? :p

Spiff Oct 31, 2005 5:21 pm

I suggest 3am - 5am EDT. :D

I'm very likely to be asleep then.

No No. Not that. But if you must, keep it painless. :D
