Recent Server Issues

[Kirby King]

If you've got anything to say about our (now hopefully resolved) server issues or other announcements, feel free to post it here.

You can read the original announcement here.

 

[Patinator]

I'll go ahead and say that, for me, everything is running extremely smoothly. Congratulations to the people who solved Smash World Forums' problems.

 

[Black Waltz]

thanks so much for fixing up the problems, Kirby King. smashboards is running much smoother in the recent days.
cant wait for the new avatar batch!

 

[Vicious Delicious]

Everything is running well at the moment. I appreciate the extra extension time for my Premium as well. Glad we have a release date for the avatars as well. All in all, a good report

 

[Bassoonist]

Sounds good. Seeing this forum run so fast again is a great thing. Really, can you all even be blamed? The amount of Smash fans visiting this site at one time would crash just about any server, am I right?

Can't wait to see the new avatars, I hope there's some of the new characters.

Question, will we get a new skin to, something brawl themed?

 

[PilotEvan]

The one thing I noticed was the absence of the "Currently Online" feature at the bottom of the main page. I could understand how it could have been a big lag issue (as it probably has to register every single user every time you're on the site for everyone to see), but I certainly don't miss it. Props to the administrators for fixing the lag issues. We all appreciate it!

 

[Kirby King]

Who's Online is something we took off in case it might have helped, but I honestly don't think it was a huge deal. It will probably return within the next day or two.

platnum -- hopefully we will.

 

[Deathanchor]

Wow, smashboards is now running a lot faster. Even under high traffic times, all pages are now loading in a matter of seconds. Good job!

 

[Uchiha.Sanosuke]

New avatars FTW!!!

In my opinion, this is all that was needed to make up for the lag time.

 

[F8AL]

Well so far I've experienced no problems while browsing SWF today! Glad to read that you guys fixed the problem!

 

[Phoenix_Kensai]

I haven't been able to get on this site for a long time, but everything seems to be working perfectly now.

I don't really post here, but it's good to be able to read the forums again. Thanks a lot for fixing everything.

 

[OnYourMark]

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that announceth glad tidings! Dude, thanks.

 

[St. Viers]

wheee, site's fixed...

 

[Zink]

nice, speedy even behind tor. good job.

 

[montyalbo]

Why would anyone attack SmashBoards?
We are a peaceful community that has done no wrong

You don't need a reason to do something all the time.

I added back the who's online on the main page for members only.

Trying to search for "play 2 win" in all forums gives the error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/smash/public_html/search.php on line 884


It's been doing this repeatedly.

 

[Fizz-sama]

Smashboards has actually been running very well for me. The only time I can remember it being slow last was a couple days after Brawl's release. I would, however, just like to say thanks to those who keep it running well and the like.

I'm going to chalk this up to a vBulletin bug. '2' is too short to be indexed in the search database, so you're not going to be able to use that as a search term anyway. You shouldn't see an error message like that, though.

 

[Bizzarro Flame]

Much faster now.... thanks smashboards

 

[balladofwindfishes]

sometimes, during the fast paced and crowded hours, I randomly log off and are unable to stay logged on after that. When I log in, the next place I go on the site, I'm instantly logged out.

Anyway to fix this?

I was at the Character Specific boards trying to click on the Jigglypuff forum and I got this message:


"No suitable nodes are available to serve your request."

Just wondering why this happened.

 

[PimpUigi]

My board style has reverted back to the default.

I was using one of the blue styles.
Might have been one of the classic ones, I don't know.

I can't seem to change it now : (

Same thing happened to me.

It's due to the recent downtime:

Just in case you were wondering, the hacker who took Smashboards down was from [removed]

Do whatever you want to em...

 

[Sporkman]

I suggest you leave 'em alone. Hacker used a skin exploit in vBulletin, that's why only one skin is available at the moment.

EDIT: I'm assuming.

I wouldn't make assumptions about stuff like this, then.

The same thing happend to me a few times.

I would also like to know why.

Close the brawl section for everybody's sake

 

[grayfox]

man whats the crack!? Don't know if this is the right thread to post this in but i know better than to make a new thread but why are the different layouts gone? = (

I hate the default, have to go back to smash blue or it doesn't feel right

 

[Enshoku]

Close the brawl section for everybody's sake

that would lead to a 12,000,000% increase in wrong forum spam...

 

[AOB]

A few years ago, some great layouts went missing, and they never came back. I hope I can eventually use Smash Blue again--I'm really not a fan of Revolution.

 

[Nite]

I've had a problem with my PM box lately. It keeps telling me that I have a new message, but I don't. I even went back and deleted every single message to see if that helped, but it didn't. I have no idea how to fix it.

 

[Fev]

Good job getting things back up so quickly.

 

[supernovvva]

When i type in something that gets a big amount of results i get that number then it says FATAL ERROR any help?

 

[Damax]

quick search doesn't work. guess I'll try advanced?

 

[Curse marke Sasuke]

Well, I've been lurking these forums for a long time and its pretty much always been slow with the occasional "server is down."
I don't even care about layouts. There are many good forums without glitzy layouts, but they are still very popular because of their content. Maybe you should think about that.

 

[Artery_Clogger]

Is it possible Smashboards will ever be faster during prime hours if the activity level stays the same?
