Forums dead?

[LordGrover]

Couldn't access forums earlier. Looks like ph techies twitter feed is dead too.

[Liszt]

Was just coming to post the same. Got slower, then can only look at individual forums then many "Oops" screens.

Time for a new hamster?

[Bill]

Not just me then.

[robuk]

The private forums seem ok - perhaps it is only affecting the public ones?

[Du1point8]

At least the classified kept on working.

[williredale]

Come on PH! I had to do some work!

[Bill]

Bit slow getting going, but seems to be up to speed again. Did the hamster have a tea break?

[Sonic]

Wahoo and we're back in action.

I've been able to get on using my phone, but get 'unable to connect' on my laptop, had it on my phone earlier too.
Seems ok though..

Was it perhaps the sideways pic of my £250 micra? So awesome it broke PH?

Forum Grouping was causing queries to use temp tables in the database, which as we all know when you hit disk your dead. So we have disabled the feature and will work on an optimising the query (or the size of the dataset at least) to solve this.

Still a few problems with some of the forums. I can access all of them through my 'contributions' page but not all(Lounge/Peddle)of them from the Gassing Station page?

[Bill]

Obvious really, when you think about it.

[LordGrover]

Have you been thinking again, Bill?

Remember what happened last time?
Nope. Me neither.

Being unable to post the old merc I found this morning in the barge thread is painfully sad
