Forum glitches, or just me?

jjacob · 02-23-2006, 03:12 AM

I've been trying to reply to stuff for an hour now, but nothing seems to work, except for setting a proxy server in Firefox (get thesame thing in IE). Somehow using my ISP's proxy fixes it all, without it all I get (when replying/posting/sending PMs) is this:

Quote:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Apache/2.0.48 (Fedora) Server at adventuregamers.com Port 80

Very odd stuff, has anyone else had this problem?

The forum's taken a disliking to you

jjacob · 02-23-2006, 04:08 AM

Damnit! And I'm so likeable!

Seriously though, is there something wrong with the forum? Because using a proxy server sucks for a lot of other websites

*Dale Baldwin* · 02-23-2006, 04:14 AM

There aren't any problems that I'm personally aware of.

jjacob · 02-23-2006, 05:07 AM

Guess it's my firefox/IE/windows then

Reinstalling FF didn't help in any case, oh well, stick with the proxy then, thanks anyway

Oops, they banned you instead of SJH.

jjacob · 02-23-2006, 07:13 AM

LMAO

Nah, I think I would've known

***Jackal*** · 02-23-2006, 07:52 AM

The forum has been really sluggish for me off and on yesterday and today. No error messages, but some serious hang-ups (the forum, I mean, not me.

)

*Melanie68* · 02-23-2006, 07:55 AM

Ditto here. It's been better today but yesterday I couldn't even access the site starting at about 8:15 am (GMT minus 8 hours). It was the same with Idle Thumbs too (main page).

jjacob · 02-23-2006, 07:57 AM

Ah, that could explain it. Do IdleThumbs and AG.com utilize thesame servers?

RLacey · 02-23-2006, 07:57 AM

Yes

.

Yesterday the site was running like an arthritic snail with a wooden leg. It feels like it's back to usual for me, though.

Yes.

I spoke too soon. Browsing these forums seems to be generally fine at the moment, though sometimes I have to refresh the page to get it to load anything

The same here.

I'm not at all sure about the error message, but the slowness the other morning was resolved. My cell phone woke me up around 8:30 with a bunch of pages about HTTP timeouts, so I rebooted the server, and went back to sleep.

You sleep with it on? I would have chucked that thing across the room had it woken me at such an hour.

***tabacco*** · 02-24-2006, 12:26 PM

That's the whole point of getting paged with server alerts. If I got a warning at 1am and didn't wake up til 8 or 9, that's be 7-8 hours of possible downtime.

***fov*** · 02-24-2006, 01:17 PM

That's dedication!

This site is varying between being as slow as a frozen snail and not being able to get in.

Is it just me or is the site knackered
