I think he means that he doesn't like it when the BBS lags and makes posts appear repeatedly.

If it sticks, try right mouse click/refresh.

I copy my text first, just in case....

Methinks it has to do with the glut of players who get on right after work. When I had my triple post (:o) today, it was at 4:49 PM CST.

I have made a post that got stuck and then immediately checked the topic again and then without seeing my reply posted again only to have it show up twice.  :mad:

Bad board lag tonight.  Lots of double, triple & even quadruple posts.  Took over 15 minutes for one of my posts to load after hitting "post".  I knew not to hit it again & just wait to avoid the dreaded double posting. :D  It's getting bad the last month. :confused:

It's Cyber-Monday --- net lag is bound to be awful.

Probably will be until about Christmas.

I know what is causing it, but to fix it would require us to take the board down for about 2 days.

Perhaps we can make a poll to see what the majority of the people want; leave it or take the board down for 2 days to fix it?  :headscratch:

Maybe you should take it down the day you release 2.17 so you don't have to read any whines  :devil

What is the cause?  It would be good information for those who want to learn something.  I have seen this problem on random boards, would be curious to know the cause.

Boards can exhibit the same thing, but for very different reasons.  It can be resource related, out of balance parameters in MySQL, or any number of things related to hard disk usage.

In this case, it has to do with the InnoDB log files growing in too large of chunks.  I need to break them down into smaller chunks so updates are done more often, but with less impact to the boards performance.

Unfortunately, you cannot simply change those parameters on a live database.  The safest way (most paranoid) to accomplish it is to dump the databases to another server, perform the changes, then reload the databases.

What takes so long is the transfer of all the databases (tours, wiki, bulletin board).  In order to have an accurate roll back logs, you have to inject the data back into the databases.  If I was less paranoid, I would just copy the files over, but that would lose the ability to do any rollbacks on any of the databases from that point back.

Had a long wait tonight after hitting Community->Forum.  After 5 minutes I just gave up for an hour.  Usually when this stuff happens, I can open up the forums no prob, but can't open the individual threads.  Just hangs.

TY for the response.  This information has been added to my problem/cause/solution DB.
