Technical difficulties: Private Messages (Resolved)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Looking into it.

Problem: cannot open private messages from the notifications button. Getting MySQL error from database.

ETA for fix: unknown.

Who is affected: unknown. Feel free to let me know, in this thread, if you're able to access PMs via "notifications" button.

I am able.

I'm good. No problems. Seems like there was a glitch on the site this morning....though.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Thanks, guys.

[az3579]

Anything for the Godfather.

Update: MySQL will likely be rebooted shortly. Site may go down for a moment (or not).

Still up... (obviously) :p

I had a different issue the other day when I was trying to edit an old post. Instead of taking me to the edit screen it took me to Paypal to make a donation to the site. That's one way to get donations....LOL j/k Marcus. I will say that it did work though, made a small donation.:-) I'd planned on waiting till after payday so I could give a little more but I can still do that too.

Barry, that was me the other day. I miscoded something, so it created that Paypal problem. Of course, at that time, someone donated to the site. So maybe I need to try that again! Haha.

We were having memory issues. Specifically, we were bumping on limitations because of the parameters that were set for the container. When I tried to open private messages this morning, I got a notice saying that there was not enough memory to complete my request. Those memory parameters have now been increased so that we don't get these issues on a regular basis.

Additionally, we're looking into general slowdown issues that most often happen during the morning.

The issue that is the subject of this thread, though, has been resolved.

Therefore, I am closing it.
