Many times I keep getting that "site maintence" from digital crowd. Seem like YT is down alot everyday now?

 

What time are you getting this message?

I use to get it daily at 2:30 am PST every work day before I would leave for work, but the schedule has been changed to night time I believe for the site backup of all the files here.

 

I think I get it pretty regularly around 6 or 7pm? and also just today (this morning around 10:30-11)

Corey, it might be my own boneheaded lack of skills. Maybe my web browser? I'm using Safari

 

Safari has an odd "caching issue" in which if you go to the website and it had that maintence screen, it will load it, even though the site is really up. Simply hitting the refresh button will casue the regular site to load. However, this won't fix the issue for the next time you visit.

You need to do a "super cache" clearing, and is required you have the Safari debug menu turned on. For directions on doing this, search over at http://www.macosx.com.

 

I've been getting it as well, most recently was yesterday around 5pm.

I had a couple of YT windows open and started a search in one of them ("canned version" & user=midiwall). Once the search "started" (i.e., the POST was sent off) then the other YT windows got REAL slow to respond to my attempts to open a thread for reading.

Eventually (maybe 90 seconds), one-by-one the open attempts were met with the "planned maintenance" banner. The search never returned.

I was thinking that the search may have hit a disk error, SQL hiccuped, couldn't recover, and rebooted itself. If SQL went away, then vB may put up a default banner (the "planned maint" graphic) while it waited for the server to come back.

Just a thought.

YT as a whole did eventually come back - probably 5-6 minutes later.

 

Thank you. I think that may just be it, gotta get that cache issue cleared up.

 

James, it's our browser. Go figure huh...

 

i get the 'maintenance' handstand chick about 2 times a day. its annoying. if it helps, ill log down the times, but avg, its twice a day

I've gotten the same thing midiwall and Bob have... yeah about twice a day I get the handstand chick- more but that's probably my Safari cache...

 

the backup happens at around midnight, and only lasts 10 minutes or so, lately i have also been getting the handstand girl, at various times, or when it loads and i click on a thread, it takes forever to load, or doesnt load at all.....

 

Checking into this.
It happened to me twice this morning.
At 10 and 10:20 am.

 

i just got it around 2:30 eastern time

 

i had it this morning at 11:15 AM PST

 

at the very least, tell the server guy to put on a better looking maintenance chick

bob

 

Even at 2 am here I am having performance issues with the server here

I will say that it is possible that we may be moving shortly after the end of this year.

We will keep people informed as to when the board will be shut down for the move.
The move will take less than half a day when it happens, and the server will be faster than this one.

When this one is working right, it is fast.
But as of late...

 

I have been having issues...................looks like it is being fixed as I write this.

 

Well, enjoy the speed... this box has nothing to do but serve yotatech.com right now... be busy with other tasks as the week progresses.

 

WOW! I was starting to think you forgot about us.......

 

Scott, the new box seems to be smokin', we are on fire


I see we are now off the beta version of the software, so hopefully we will be running a lot better.

Speed and consistency are always good.

 

I agree..................I never thought I could navigate YT this fast
