Slow site is a known issue

Cheat · September 15, 2014, 01:29:07 PM

I've submitted a ticket to my host about the sudden slowness of the forum (it can get horribly slow) and I should hear back within 24 hours. By then the problem might be fixed, but whatever...

I also included the error message I've been seeing a few times.

Spoiler

an error occurred while processing this directive

If you've seen this message, let me know here (along with what you were doing and how often it has occurred.

UPDATE: From Bluehost:

Usually happens when I try to jump forum categories, look at threads, and when I reply to a topic. Usually every second try I do something I'll get the message.

Yeah, its been terribly slow.

I think I got it while refreshing on The Flood front page.

I get it frequently when I try to refresh a page that is loading slowly, so it may be a temporary traffic issue and that means it might just go away on its own.

We can only hope.

Had one error so far after refreshing The Flood.

Well shit, made a thread in Support before I saw this. Sorry. :c

It's fine.

I've been looking up some fixes, and I've come to three conclusions:

1. PHP includes are breaking on the host for some reason (and I will need to fix it)
2. Someone is fucking with us and instead of crashing the site, we're just slow as fuck (but I don't really think this is likely)
3. Bluehost is installing something or somebody spilled coffee on our server or something.

In any case, I've set the wheel in motion and let them know about it, so we should hear back soon.

I've gotten it a lot tonight. When doing anything, for periods every second screen was the error message.

And now the official sep7agon religion has started. I say we storm Bungie.Net and show them the light of our lord and savior, Based Cameron.

I think it just fixed for me. The site is moving normally now.

Don't jinx it.
