Stats for November... worst we have had in a long time: CHECK NAME UPTIME DOWNTIME OUTAGES RESPONSE TIME Army.ca Alive 92.91% 51h 05m 22s 554 680 ms So far the "light" rebuild of yesterday seems to have addressed the stability issues though, so December is shaping up to be much better. Thanks...

Yes and no. The server has been crashing almost hourly in recent days, so it was more likely that. No crashes since the rebuild, which is promising.

OK folks, did a quick server rebuild, it may help with the issues we are seeing. If not, I will have to actually scrap the current server and build a new  one from scratch. That'll take some time, and there isn't much of that in my schedule these days, so please bear with me! Thanks Mike

There are still some issues with the site, related to the upgrade. The web service crashes and hangs on a pretty regular basis. It's set to automatically restart but still causes a couple minutes of downtime at each crash. I may have to rebuild the server from scratch at some point.  :-\

Yeah, we are seeing some performance issues, I'm chasing them down.

Another major upgrade this morning, please let me know if there are issues once again. :) Thanks! Mike

-- OR -- Members can post according to the rules in that thread, and posts that don't meet the rules can be deleted. Much simpler and faster for all involved. No PM'ing, and if the user wants to re-post with the source info, they can. This is the way forward.

Topic split. Doesn't need to go to the admin board in my view though.

garb11, the image is hosted here so it may have been an issue with their server. Seems to load OK for me. Might be that the site is blocked by whatever network your PC is connected to (e.g. DWAN), but loads over the unrestricted cell network. standingdown, I believe this is the thread...

I should also address an apparent misconception: Radio Chatter is subject to the Conduct Guidelines just like the remainder of the site. The rules are not relaxed or invalid here, they apply in full force.

George, we have been down this road before and have a publicly discussed policy on it: https://army.ca/forums/threads/90250/post-888219.html#msg888219 I don't believe you are raising a new issue here, nor one that will evoke a change in the way we do business.

Another day, another server upgrade. Please report any issues. Working on the weird text at the top of every page right now...

What could go wrong?

You would think so, but the reality is we would have a spike in impulse deletes that then re-register a new account a few days later, causing challenges for continuity with posts, etc. (All old posts are "unattributed" once the parent account is deleted.) Worse, the user may expect that their...

Well done Haligonian! If you PM me your address I'll mail you an Army.ca (or Navy.ca if you go that way) bumper sticker. And thanks Infanteer for putting together the Decision Game, it's a valuable exercise!

Database upgrade complete, please report any problems. Cheers Mike

Excellent work, thanks Infanteer. I will throw in at least an Army.ca bumper sticker for top answer. If I can dig up something better to throw in before closing, I will add it to the pot.

If it falls under the guidelines above, it has to be changed, regardless of whether it is a post, a signature, a tagline, username, etc.
