Search Not Working. Again.

[lumberjack]

I'm fine with Brandon fixing anything.... I have no innate control over the process or Brandon; he serves at his pleasure and I appreciate that.

And now I cant load pics. Well choot

 

[lumberjack]

@Brandon , any insight?

Email sent.

 

[Maximalist]

Photos are not uploaded. The most interesting thing is that the video is uploaded without any problems.

 

[Nutball]

Add slow posting to the list of problems.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yup. Might be why we cant upload pictures too. Server too full/slow and timing out

 

[lxskllr]

If I had to guess, some kind of database issue.

I will report that the search function is totally buggered at this point...I just get the "oops, we ran into a problem; server error" message as of this morning. Still that way now.

 

[Burnham]

This morning the search is producing results, but still has no posts past early August. Looking at my own profile, it is up to date under "recent activity", but not under "postings"...just as earlier in our current issues. The site seems to be loading posts and pages faster than in the last few days, for me anyway. I haven't tried uploading a picture.

 

[Burnham]

And now search is back to "Oops...". This whole series of faults is strange enough to make me wonder if the TH has been under active hack attack.

 

[Nutball]

It could be that my suggestion was used, where the search function regularly resets itself, so Brandon doesn't have to keep doing it. So, there could be another problem preventing all results from showing when it does work, and another that causes the errors.

Maybe someone is trying to hack our passwords, emails, and such.

 

[Maximalist]

100% Russian hackers. They're everywhere. They interfere in elections in the United States (and other so-called democratic countries). Now they're mocking the TreeHouse )

 

[Burnham]

Maybe.

 

[Burnham]

This morning the site seems to be working pretty fast, and I tested the search function and it is back up. I'll try a photo post in a minute.

Nope, still a server error there.

 

[Burnham]

And the last date showing in "postings" for members seems to still be Aug. 6 or so.

 

[lxskllr]

Every once in awhile the site feels pretty snappy, but then the squirrel gets tired and hungry, and things start dragging again.

 

[Burnham]

But having the search up is a bit of an improvement...hope it holds. The last time it started working again it was short-lived.

 

[Nutball]

It may be from a regularly scheduled reset made as a fix months ago.

 

[Burnham]

Perhaps so. I just hope it sticks better than the last one.
