Wish I knew the answer to that question. We’d be closer to a solution.
I knew something was up. The first day or so of the FReepathon, here comes an attack. We have to know “they” hate this website. We must press on and let Mr. Robinson and crew deal with it as best they can. Our money to them is not wasted!
I’m curious as to whether or not FR servers scan for/detect/block spam attempts intended to overload the server.
You KNOW it’s goin on... SURELY there is affordable software out there to prevent it.
Jim! What you have is record-locking!
In your code, some programs are locking records as they read the file! All you have to do is look at all your source that doesn’t specify ‘set lock off’ when reading files!
I’ve noticed a pattern. Whenever important news (for us) is incoming, the locks start slowing down read time.
Look at all the user priveleges you give (especially moderators) and make sure you have the set_lock_off flag turned on for their access!
Hi Jim.
I want you to know that I mean no disrespect.
Can you tell us what’s going on from your point of view? Because the site is REALLY slow from our point of view.
