Here's an idea...

Post Wed Jul 09, 2008 8:24 pm


Do away with all the bells and whistles, the magazine, and other side stuff, and concentrate on getting the actual database to run smoothly, quickly and consistently. Bring back ctstone if necessary. Seems like things started to go wrong around the time he left. I've endured the periodic slownesses of the past, which were tolerable and short, but this recent string is getting tiresome.

That's all I want too. Just to display the pics as they are now and to not take 10-20 seconds per picture.

Also, I uploaded a whole gallery about a week ago, a private one, and all the exif is blank on it, but are
on my pics.

I just want a decently-functioning place for the photos, with the features it already has now...

With the lack in Administrative response to a lot of the issues going on around here really makes one wonder what is actually going on with PBase.

Where is the problem PBase or my computer?


No I have the same here... today I wasnt able to load some pages once or twice... and on top of that I cant even upload any photos any more!
Is there coming an end to this all?

The slowness of late is RIDICULOUS. Fans of myphotography are telling me they won't visit PBase until I let them know that the slowness has been addressed.

Come on PBase, get your code and servers worked out and lose all the stupid features that 99% of us don't even use.

I agree with the post above. Lose the bells and whistles! All we need is the features PBase has over a couple of years ago, which is; posting photos, recent photos, popular photos and the other basic photo sharing features.

All this other nonsense is just slowing the site down.

HINT from an SQL database and PHP expert: The more you tax your database with queries, the slower this place is going to be. Don't let feature creep kill PBase!

Sorry about the downtime there. I'm not sure what happened as we are not in the office today, but it appears that the whole farm went down and was brought back up. I had to startup the webserver and database software when I was finally able to connect to the forum server.

Pbase is all messed up tonight and this has been going on through the week.

Pages aren't loading properly and all galleries are a mish-mosh of code and missing images.

Anybody minding the store?

Don't be afraid to be different than the pack.

Pbase was completely absent from Friday August 29 until late this afternoon August 31st?!? Anyone know what's going on. It's had the hiccups once in a while before but this is the longest that it has been absent. There should be some kind of automatic notice that lets users know what's going on...or there should be some kind of technical explanation from someone to say what's going on!?!

How can the problems be so localized?

Post Mon Sep 01, 2008 4:52 am


I wonder if the difficulties were experienced mostly outside the US. I have had periods of being unable to access Pbase forums over the August 29-31 period mentioned above. However, the rest of the site has been working pretty well. I uploaded a couple shots earlier today that went pretty quickly.

I hope one day we do find out how the slowness or lack of availability could be so localized.

I actually tried to post what was going on earlier today, but I couldn't log in either. The forums should have been fine yesterday, so I wonder if you maybe saw there were problems on the 29th and today and figured they were constant throughout.
Anyway, I'm not sure what the issue was on the 29th, but on the 31st the problem was that it couldn't get the login information from the main PBase account.

FWIW, I didn't experience problems with the galleries over the weekend from Singapore, but the forums were non-operative until a few hours ago. I know there were a few folks that posted on DPR with gallery access issues, and a few that reported no problems. One user in New Jersey solved his problem via his ISP, another was told to reboot his router, which worked. A couple of others had still unresolved problems. The gallery access problems still seem to be random & geographic.

I couldn't swear to it that I had problems on the 30th, and it's possible that I generalized from the day before and after...but that is the way I recall it. Yesterday, the 31st, there was a strange phenomenon in the forums that I have noticed a few times before. One moment there seem to be posts running right up to the time I log onto the forum...then I go to see a poster's own site. When I come back, the most immediate posts are gone and they seem to have stopped several hours earlier. It's as if the forum had a hiccup followed by two hours of amnesia. Maybe I just pulled a page out of my cache from an earlier visit? Doesn't happen very often though.

Thanks for the update.
