Title: Is anyone else's connection crapping out?
Post by: Geowhizzer on April 23, 2005, 11:07:48 PM
I've been having horrible luck getting on the board off and on tonight.  Heck, the internet itself has been spotty, but not as bad as CF has been specifically.

Could be all that draftnik traffic.  :paranoid

It's not just our draft traffic, but everyone else hosted by the same company. Half the Fan 2 Fan Alliance and who knows how many other sites all crawling with ... you people.

In a possibly related development, I have been having problems with my laptop overheating when used for long periods of time.  Anyone else with this problem?  I have a Sony Vaio PCG-K15.

I also have a Vaio but it never overheats.

Just wait until your Vaio starts crapping out because of a farged up memory card slot. That's tons of fun. :P

My Dell sucked ass, it crashed every day and overheated constantly. I got the Vaio after weeks of researching it and I have been extremely happy with it since I got it.

Vaio's are great except for the little memory issue (what caused my laptop crashes) which is a factory defect. It comes and goes at random and it can be fixed (but Sony won't do it unless it's under warranty) but other than that, Vaio's are great computers. Expensive, but worth the money.

What memory issue? Is it in all of the Vaios or just PCs? I have one of the smaller notebooks.

It's a notebook issue... let me see if I can find the thread about it....

Here you go... (http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/5449/?o=680) It's 45 pages long but well worth taking the time to scan through.

You might not experience any problems at any point, but just so you're aware if you start having boot issues before too long... it's a common issue that is fixable.

Post by: TexasEagle on April 26, 2005, 05:50:42 PM
Yeah, I had mine for two years without any problems as well... then all at once the booting problems started up resulting in me having to reformat the entire thing back to factory settings to get it to even boot. Now, since I have the desktop, I don't use it often enough to know if the boot issues are entirely fixed, but regardless when I can I'm going to have it checked out for that memory slot issue.

TE, did you get the "blue screen of death" (my Tech's term for it) when the system crashed, along with a message that it was dumping the physical memory.

If so, maybe I'm looking at the wrong problem area.  I was convinced that it was my hard drive with an overheating issue.

Yep! That's the one - I finally got the message to hang around for more then a tenth of a second so I could read it.

Apparently the memory stick can slip out of the slot on the mother board because of how it was designed/ built. Sometimes putting the stick in another slot fixes it, but not always.

I think around page 35 or so of that discussion thread I linked to there's a post about someone that fixes the issue in the Vaios. It has the email and phone number if you want to ask him about it. I think I have his site bookmarked...

This should be it: http://www.laptopbios.com/

My Vaio Desktop has been out of action since january.  The screen smears each time the mouse moves.  At first i was convinced it was my video card but now i'm thinking memory problem.  I got so tired of tryin to fix it that we just upgraded to a new computer now the Vaio is collecting dust

My guess is that the ISP moved the board to another server, and there was a "window" of posts that didn't get moved over. It's just a wild guess, though.

Again a guess, but perhaps whatever server they moved the software to was in a different timezone. I switched the time offset in the board software to compensate for it.

Whew! I thought it was just me and Romey having the problem. I haven't been able to reply to anything in the last two days and like PG would get a blank page after a few minutes of waiting for certain threads to open up. Some would open, maybe one or two, but most of the time I would get that blank screen.

I see the reply button and can reply(I think - we'll see if this one goes through).

It's not bandwidth.  It might be a DNS issue.  But I suspect it's just the server host sucking ass.  Literally.

I'll bet you could easily raise enough money to make up the difference between the zesty host and the reliable one if you'd just lay it out there and ask.

Ok, time to show how I earned this score... (http://www.concretefield.com/forum/index.php?topic=18732.msg436872#msg436872)

Domain is registered with NSI (http://www.nsi.com), but it is hosted at DreamHost (http://www.dreamhost.com/shared/).  (I would have used the DNS servers at NSI, but the problems haven't been lookup related, so no big deal).  I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing they are springing for the $7.95/mo service, perhaps $15.95/mo if they are running close to the bandwidth cap.

The big question is, what is causing the crash?  Is it the CF code, or someone else's code running on the same server?  If it is the latter, you need to switch providers to someone who keeps tighter reign on the shared servers.  If it is the former...well, bad web geek...no cookie.

You may want to look at 1and1 (//http://).  Prices are about the same, and they are located in NY.  We had a dedicated server with them at my last job - no problems.

That message indicates the site is online, but the DB server is either offline or has a config issue.

So, it might not have been DreamHost's issue yesterday, briefly.

Yes, I actually was trying to post this:

QuoteAnyone else getting this issue?  When I try to connect to the board via concretefield.com, I simply get a white screen with that message: "Invalid request variable."  However, if I manually change the links to concretefield.info, everything works.  Of course, every link on the forum is .com, so it's tricky to read and post.  It was happening to me all day yesterday, and I assumed a DNS issue... but it's still happening today, and I'm able to get to concretefield.com, just not the message board.

P.S.  I have tried both IE and Firefox.  Same shtein.

I did some Google searching, and it was actually a "corrupt" cookie problem.  I deleted my cookies, logged in, and everything's been ok since.

So what's the deal with the board upgrades?  What exactly was upgraded?  The only visable changes I see is that when you open up a particular section (Eagles Talk, General, etc) there is a border across the top where it lists the subject, who started it, views, replies, etc. 

And on a couple of the different section, the # of views and replies for the first couple of threads are completely blacked out.

I can only assume that this is some sort of error and not the intended look for the board.

It looks like the upgraded version added a few CSS classes that weren't in our original CSS template, so that's where the blacked-out cells were coming from. I updated the style sheet, and it looks a little better.  :)

Before Reagor's press conference, he mentioned the EMB maintenance is to prevent a virus called "limelight" and was only originally scheduled for 2-3 hours but has lasted 14+.  I wonder if :CF is infected.
Title: Re: Is anyone else's connection crapping out?
Post by: Susquehanna Birder on March 21, 2007, 12:23:42 PM
I really doubt it. I can't find any mention of "limelight" in the usual virus and/or worm lookups on the 'net. Even so, we don't run on a Windoze platform, so we're not as prone to the usual bugs.

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on March 21, 2007, 12:26:39 PM
A.  This is Spadaro we're talking about, so the name could be inexact or out-and-out wrong.
B.  I believe the EMB runs on a unix/linux-based backend also.

We wanted to make a parody site about the Eagle, we made this message board to talk about the site itself as it was being made.   At that time the EMB was already out of control with morons so we decided just to have this board open up to become an Eagles message board for anyone who didnt want to have to deal with the nonsense over at the EMB.  Mind you this was 6 years ago or more.

Our host moved us to a new server the other day. I checked the board for errors and recounted all the topics and posts, there's no problems there. Its happening on a couple machines, but not others, so I suggest blowing out the cache on those machines and trying it again. If that doesn't work, we may have to move on to advanced cable-jiggling techniques.

Update:  Still not working for me on the iPhone with 3G.  It works fine with WiFi.

You all care deeply.

PS: Our IT dept. let everyone know that future surfing on the net is going to be monitored and any unauthorized farging around will be met with untidy results.   So, really, get this shtein worked out please.  My future un-monitored farging around depends on you assclowns.

I haven't noticed any problems on my Verizon iPhone 4. I usually use Chrome to browse.

LOL @ 3G.  God, you're old.  I bet you have a rotary dial app on your iPhone, don't you?

Doesn't work with my 4G either.  Wi-Fi is perfect though.  I dont have any other browsers on my phone besides Safari.

if it doesn't work on your phone, check it each saturday when you are home, read the 12 posts from the previous week and you're caught up

I have AT&T, not sure if it's just a service provider problem or what

I figured that already. You suck for living in an area without 4G coverage.

We have 4G, dummy.  The iPhone 4 model isn't compatible with that service.  You'd think a young, tech-savvy guy such as yourself would know that.

so who else is still going through this issue with their iPhone4?

you try to get in the site, but after about 45 sec of trying to load you get a 504 gateway technical issue. you then hit refresh and you can get in. but now it seems that its timing out after a certain period of not browsing in CF and you have to go through the process again.

GF, I've tried deleting cookies and erasing history, but this is still an issue. Any ideas or are we stuck having to try to log in twice every time? c'mon computer wiz whatcha got?

I have no experience dealing with iPhones, so I can't test anything out on my own, but I'll keep looking in to it.

Not a connection problem but I live with the "Show unread posts since last visit" portion but not all of the threads show up but then it gives me a "show unread threads since last visit" option which shows me a bunch of I missed. Just wondering how the board separates the two.

I have an old iPhone 4 that I now use as an iPod and two new iPhone 5's - one personal for VZW and one business for AT&T.

I have never have any issue at all accessing this site via the iPhone Chrome browser, much to the chagrin of many.

Guess I won't bother trying it with Chrome on my phone then.  :CF loads just fine through Safari on my ipad and iphone when on wifi.  I don't have 3G/4G on my ipad so I never use it to access the web on the go anyway.  Always use my iphone for that.

It doesn't work initially with the 4 or 4S.  If I'm really Jonesing for a Todd/Havas exchange I'll just substitute it by smashing myself in the ear with a hammer.

Same for me - no browser on iPhone while using 3G Svc works. I tried from my buddy's iPhone 5 today and nada.

So my 4 and his 5 don't work unless on wifi

With this many people having iphone problems, we can assume the mod that switched to a different theme for iphones did not uninstall properly.
