What is going on with these forums

What the heck has been going on with these forums lately. They have been very slow to a stand still when trying to access them? I even got a "php critacal error" a little bit ago.

I had the same error at one point as well. Matt, its also a good idea to get rid of the SIDs in the url.

Yeah that was the same error I got. The slow down started last night and it is not all the time. Sometimes it works fine and sometimes it slows down to almost a stop. I wish I could tell you what was causing it or offer advice, but I thought by letting you know Matt that you could at least look into it.

I know it is not my computer because this site is the only one that is doing it. Next time it happens I will do a ping and tracert and see what I get.

May want to get rid of phpBB (most hacked board around). Punbb is real nice ;-)

Does punBB do all the same things that phpbb does? AFAIK the answer is no. Also, phpbb is only hacked when people dont update it. Its fine as long as it up to date and your not stupid about how you set it up.

I've already suggested VB (my absolute, hands down favorite), but Matt said he prefers PHPBB. I haven't seen any of the issues myself...

Ironically, as I posted this, it timed out and displayed incorrectly :roll:

PHPBB is good, VB is great, but since VB costs and this problem is new, why not see if it can be fixed, and if it gets worse, then look into an upgrade.

[MACscr]

As a end user, i actually prefer phpBB over VB, but as an admin, I find VB to be better as well i guess. I havent used VB as an admin for a few years though.

PHPbb will slow down dramatically when you try to use the internal mailer. Due to the nature of phpBB standard setup, it will try to send all subscribed members of a thread an email when someone updates it, if then the mailer is slow (for any reason) it will look like phpBB did slow down. But actually you are waiting for phpBB to send out the mails to the subscribed members of the thread.

My Experience is that if you use a SMTP mail address to send the mail out, instead of the standard mail handler, it will go much better.

Kindest regards,

So there is a mail o php send mail function...

In your profile click OFF to

Always notify me of replies:
Sends an e-mail when someone replies to a topic you have posted in. This can be changed whenever you post.

to get ride of this temporary error

[MACscr]

true, but of course i always want to receive replies and im pretty sure that error will still happen because others have it checked for email notices.

I have gotten nothing on my end, but it may be that I have not gotten any messages.
