PoA slowness?

That was me making a typo while reconfiguring the server.

I think it might be better now. Time will tell.
 
Me too

It's a veiled public service message encouraging us to go fly, or at least go to the airport and hang out with fellow pilots.
 
I've experienced these hangs/delays for days. I thought it was my connection until now.

Someone call Heather Brooke, she'll get that loosened right up.
 
Just in the last few hours I'm having trouble getting the site to load at all, when it does it's quite slow. No problems on any other sites that I can tell.
 
Same here just now... it's intermittent, sometimes it's fine.
 
I was completely unable to even get to POA yesterday for about 6 hours
 
Works well for me now. Looked at the network graph and the only thing not working 100% was a favicon that seemed to work on the second attempt.
 
early this morning it still wasn't working but now seems to be working fine.
 
I think we were under a spam attack yesterday. Never saw anything get past the protections, but there were a LOT more connections than normal to the site. Late in the evening I jumped the max concurrent connections number up in the service which helped somewhat, but whatever it is seems to have stopped.

Thank you Ron!!!
 
New here and everything was very slow to load yesterday -- just kind of assumed it was the norm. Everything is snappy now.
 
Somebody who doesn't like all of us fat cats in our private planes...
 
Perhaps it was my dual turboed Commodore 64 sucking up all the bandwidth ... :rofl:
 
At the moment it seems to be doing well. My WAG is SQL problems that hopefully got resolved by automatic or manually initiated cleanup actions. But that's a total WAG as I'm not privy to the inner workings on the server.

co-incidentally, I think Beechtalk has been having similar problems for the past couple of days.
 
PoA seem a little slow to anyone else? nothing crazy, just several seconds clicking between one thread to another. all other websites seem fine to me.
 
of course as soon as I say that it seems faster now.
 
I take that back, still slow and maybe getting slower. ran out of gas?
 
I noticed it, too. Thought it might be FAA influence creeping into the myriad medical posts… :oops:

Yeah it's running really slow. It's taking several seconds to load both on mobile and desktop.
 
The server has been running for nearly 300 days straight. It might take a reboot. There's a software update to XenForo that I've been putting off anyhow, I'll probably do it early tomorrow morning (slack time for us).
