News Rebooting Server Tonight

Adam · 05-28-2018, 08:47 PM - **1 Like**

I will be rebooting our server in approximately 83 minutes, at midnight US Eastern time. I expect 10-15 minutes of downtime as a result.

Please be sure to save all of your posts if you plan to be active around that time.

Looks like we are back. A remote reboot failed and we ended up having to physically access the server, but it seems that all is well now. Thanks for your patience!

if that reboot was supposed to help with access/site loading times, it has not; horrible wait times for site, either desktop or mobile versions...

Yep, slower than slow, and double posts often too.

Just chiming in that it is slow here as well, slow enough to browse other sites while PF loads.
Thanks for all the hard work Adam.

Same here: extremely slow here this morning even with a brand new laptop and a good connection ...

Update: things have sped up quite a bit since my last post a few minutes ago !!
Looking good at the present time.

You can tell when it's slow, the double posts start piling up. Seems ok now here although it started really slow.

robtcorl · 05-29-2018, 09:44 AM

Faster than a speeding bullet now.

**paulh** · 05-29-2018, 10:03 AM

Been very good since I logged in about 10 am CDT, thanks

**pepperberry farm** · 05-29-2018, 10:05 AM

agreed - seems to humming along nicely...

thank you, Adam and all the nameless/faceless folks keeping this joint running....

bertwert · 05-29-2018, 11:31 AM

Yep, back up to full steam here.
Great job to all who work behind the scenes here.

There appears to be some issue that's killing site performance between around 5:30 to 6:30am server time. Hopefully we can figure out what it is soon...

There will be another reboot soon-ish. Server techs are on site, so there should be very minimal downtime
