Update: Progress is being made but issues remain.

Folks, Sorry about the site issues, we encountered severe performance issues of an unknown source. It did not appear to be related to a spike in site traffic, but most likely a server software or configuration issue. I have upgraded the server and refreshed all software packages to see if this...

Folks, we have been having some intermittent issues with the site crashing a few times throughout the day. I have performed a major OS upgrade on the server, please let me know if you see any issues. Hopefully this will resolve the crashing issue. (And not introduce some other issue!)

Appreciate the heads up, that does sound fishy. I'll check into it.

Folks, Replaced the SSL/TLS certificates with a new breed, should be no issues but let me know if you have any troubles. Cheers Mike

Just upgraded the Tapatalk API here - it was a minor upgrade from 4.5.1 to 4.5.2, so it may not have any effect, but let me know if it makes things better/worse/no change. Cheers Mike

Thanks, I'll do some digging and see what I can find.

Good news folks, I moved us to a new, improved database server, and pre-paid the next 3 years. Performance should be a bit better now, and as always if you have any issues just let me know. Cheers Mike

I’d also add https://valleyevents.ca to the list. (It happens to be co-hosted here, too!)

Yeah, incognito/private browsing may also cause that issue in some cases.

That message usually appears when you have multiple tabs open doing multiple things at once. For example if I'm drafting a post, and then open up a new tab to browse the forums, I'm likely to get that message.

Agreed! It's a low commitment way to help out. If you found useful info here, consider being part of the solution. Thanks!

Hopefully green across the board as of today. If you still have issues please let me know! (Somehow...)

A big part of the issue was that yesterday, I enabled only TLSv3. This morning I enabled both v2 and v3, so folks should have better luck. :)

Hi AbdullahD, got the transfer, thanks for the support! If you PM me your shirt size and mailing address I'll get one in the mail for you. Thanks again!

Well folks, yesterday I activated a new security feature, which caused some problems. For those who care, I enabled TLSv3, which is the latest encryption protocol. It's the "s" in https. Currently, just about everywhere uses TLSv2, but I enabled v3 in addition. The problems stemmed from a few...

Just finished Dawn of the Code War: America's Battle Against Russia, China, and the Rising Global Cyber Threat by John Carlin. A very USA-centric take on Cybersecurity, which makes sense as he was the US Assistant Attorney General for National Security. I found it did a good job of tying...

Chased down a high CPU issue and either fixed it... or didn't. :)

Agreed, I was getting crash notifications every hour (or sometimes many per hour) before, now there are none. I have seen a small spike in server load (~20) once since the rebuild, but nothing compared to the 100+ load we were often seeing before. Fingers crossed I haven't broken something else...
