New domain: Elementscommunity.com

[suxerz]

Could it be that the new server is lagging/not responding quite often?

Quite frequently, there is a minutelong "loading" time when trying to navigate the forum.

Server is not new, only the domain is. Domain is basically the "address" of our server.

What you said should not happen. I've been messing around with the server quite a bit during the last few days, so that might be the reason. I know that for example when I took some backups, there were a bunch of "database busy" errors.

If this "not responding" happens again, please let me know. Thanks.

This just happened again and it was the second time I had after Jangoo's post.

Happened to me too

I don't think that's the same thing Jangoo was talking about since this was far longer than 1 minute.  However, I have still noticed that navigation does seem slower at times when there's no issue with my internet connection since chat is going fine at the exact same time that it happens.  Same thing maybe?

Yeah, same here.
Everytime it happens I am thinking "damn provider ..." switch over to google and test-search something:
 BLITZ ... there's my answer so it's most definitely on the side of the forum somehow.

This might be a server related issue. I made some changes to improve performance during peak hours, which could potentially be the cause of this.

I made some more changes. Lets see if the slow loading thing happens again.

Don't if this is necessary or if it will help anything, but the loading nonsense has changed to giving me this as a result now:
Same situation as before, the rest of my windows load fine, only the forums takes forever to load, but this seems to be happening more frequently than before and almost the instant I refresh the page after the white screen appears it fixes itself.

We had another giant hiccup in the forums back there. Was this a normal one?

I don't think so.  I've never seen it last that long before.  4 hours of the server going down without warning is pretty severe.

That was one heck of a long crash, all the Elements veterans decided to go to kong chat...

i call for legal actions to be taken against those pansy wankers. let'show them that playing against  can be a pretty bad idea when they start doing things on an arbitrary level

The white screen happens because, for some reason, your browser doesn't load the CSS-file that basically tells the website what to look like. No CSS-file, therefore your page looks "blank". The CSS-file is loaded through a CDN-provider (content delivery network), not our server. There is a possibility that your issues are related to you not getting the required files from the CDN-provider. I'll see if I can somehow find a fix, although it's going to be difficult because I cannot replicate this error myself.

This was a server issue that was 100% unrelated to domain change or the new forum software. They happen from time to time and there is nothing to worry about. Only "severe" thing about it was the fact that I was sleeping when it happened.
