I just wanted to say- excellent job on optimizing the forum software for mobile! I’m typing this from iOS at the moment, and I can say that it is one of the best forums I’ve used on mobile, and that’s saying something! The fact that it’s even usable in browser, though, is spectacular! (y) @system! (And the rest of the team… I just don’t remember your usernames, sorry…
Hooray, we’re back!
Yes - both of the ruby processes serving up Discourse got wedged into non-responsiveness
We are investigating.
thanks for pulling out said wedgy, my good man!
@supermathie Maybe the posts a bit above can help you. I have experience some performance issues during the last days (always in the same timeframe).
The last time restarted automatically (due to high memory usage) was Oct 20 09:57:38 UTC. It looks like it has been behaving in between then and now - it’s possible that your issues were due to network congestion, though I haven’t ruled out the server itself.
The issues today were due to the server process going LALALALAICAN’THEARYOU - that’s a new issue.
I’m sorry, you’ve lost me with these technical terms…
And it’s still doing that… doing some upgrades which will mean a little bit more downtime but hopefully more stability.
I cant even make proper threads at the moment, trying to update my mod thread but can’t due to issues with performance.
It may be a little slow while I grab and compile new versions of a few things.
Well, it’s not particularly slow for me, but I’m getting a 502 Bad Gateway error occasionally.
Yes - I just took it down for a few minutes to upgrade the ruby version to one that fixes a few problems.
FROM THIS POINT ON you should be good and up… for now.
Yeah that’s been the problem, it reappeared after the initial long down time and I was heartbroken, devastated, I didn’t know if I could go on…
Of course refreshing after a minute fixed it, but whatever…
I’m also pencilling you in for a proper upgrade of Discourse itself later today/tomorrow…
excellent! the site is performing nicely this evening though… it looks like all the 1’s and 0’s are realigned…
I’ve been having a few problems posting messages and logging in.
Have you been getting any specific errors? Anything in the JS console (if you can bring that up)
A specific time-of-day UTC would be helpful.
Since I had no idea where else to put it, and couldn’t be bothered to visit the meta, I just wanted to say I really like the way you’ve made the normal : ) faces etc. now actually work with emotes should speed up my posting by about 0.4 seconds per post!
