Is Your Website Slowing Down Due to Excessive Bot Traffic?

Oh, freaky. I can see the LaTeX in chroot's post but not in Gokul's quote of it. @ the skin on Zz's end.

"Last Post" is behaving a bit oddly --- seems to be reflecting "current activity" by users. i.e., Russ is replying to his poll in P&WA, GD shows him as "Last Post" when looking at PF, but he ain't finished to show as "Last Post" when in GD and looking at P&WA, nor does he show in P&WA.

I'm also still getting ZZs error on the main page, and the site's formatting is completely broken in Opera.

edit: And in firefox

I can't see the LaTeX in chroot's post, but it shows up in my quote of it !

And my skin is still broken and the main page still gives an error message. Guess I just have to wait ?

Like hrw, I can see the LaTeX in Warren's post, but not in Gokul's quote.

Tried http://69.9.43.195/~physicsf/, but that didn't change anything.

\rho now that works, but the LaTeX before the fix doesn't seem to work.

 

[Moonbear]

I can get back in! Phew! I was starting to see pink spiders. (I'd been getting that error message again for the past several hours!)

Works wonderfully doing that.

thanks, Greg!
I was about to get a eye strain but now everything looks fine.

Exactly the same for me, I cannot read ZZ's or my own Latex posts in any Forum.

I am using the http://69.9.43.195/~physicsf/ website and I have tried both skins.

My browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.110615.

Had a few hours downtime this morning, sorry about that

What's with this at the top of every page?

[Greg Bernhardt]

You got to give me atleast 5 minutes to fix it before reporting it lol

 

[Evo]

sorry

It's gone now.

 

[franznietzsche]

Looks like its all working again normally now.

 

[Moonbear]

All is working normally for me now too...and even a lot faster than before.

 

[quasar987]

It is all working just like before now... But before wasn't right for me. I still can't see the LaTeX code when I preview messages. I get the "latex code being generated, reload in a moment" message. It does that both on mozilla and IE.

 

[Doc Al]

I still can't see the LaTeX code when I preview messages.

Yep. That still hasn't been fixed.

 

[Lisa!]

No, it's not back completely!

 

[Reshma]

PF has been acting weird since last few days. Takes ages to connect...and loading is also pretty slow. Is everything alright here?

 

[Lisa!]

I don't have loading problem and but yes sometimes it takes ages to connect.

 

[VietDao29]

I think the speed is still the same, but that's fast enough, IMHO. It's just once in a blue moon, that I have to click on the Refresh button, since the page just does not want to show up.

Welcome To Physics Forums

Welcome To Physics Forums

(Closed daily between 6 A.M. and noon.)

 

[russ_watters]

I experienced several outages today as well.

 

[Doc Al]

... Me too!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

I am aware of the problems

 

[Chronos]

I'm on dial up so I haven't noticed any difference - at least not since I replaced the string and tin cans.

 

[Lisa!]

BTW Greg, is it a new feature?
I see an orange blob(?) at the bottom of main page and at top of every forum ,and when I click on it I get this:

[ZapperZ]

The "no connection" thingy appears to be consistent almost every day since the server migration - 7:30 am till around 11:30 am central.

Zz.

Yep, I'm still having the same trouble with not getting a connection at about the same time every day.

 

[Monique]

The server must be in Italy, it just needs to close down at noon
