Sundiata Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hi, I haven't been able to access the "unread content"-tab here on the forum for a number of days now. It just loads forever and then says service unavailable. It's a pity, because I usually go through unread content every day. Other parts of the forum are not a problem. Is it just me?

feneur Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I did experience it in general yesterday, but not specifically with that tab. Perhaps it was just a coincidence (or maybe it's indeed due to capacity problems in one way or another and that function takes longer). @implodedok could you please see if there's something on the server side which is causing this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Yves also mentioned that on irc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imarok Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 For me the forum in general is slower since some weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcxSanya Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have this issue for a few days too. The "Unread Content" loads a significant time (likely depending on unread items count, permissions etc.) and there seems to be a one-minute timeout (so if it doesn't manage to load in that time, it returns http 503). Apparently for most people it works fine, for my account it almost never manages to load. I created a new test account and it always works fine there (even though it lists all recent content as 'unread'). I've asked Jan about it yesterday, he said: Quote It loads for me, although slowly. Best would be I think if you posted on the Invision Power support forums about it I didn't manage to post on IPB forums yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yves Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I had loading times of 40-50 seconds for a few days and now I'm getting http 503 too. I'd guess there's a performance issue with the forum database because files load quickly and other parts of the forum are also relatively slow (like around 10 seconds loading time). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki1950 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have also noticed a slow down as well even the sign on is slow again that will be related to the Db performance. Enjoy the Choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 There is also a slowdown on trac, it reports trac ticket updates and commits much too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 So any news on this? I still haven't been able to read unread content (about 2 weeks now), and (some) other parts of the forum are indeed slower than they used to be...

feneur Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 It's weird that it never works for you, it's been slow, but working for me apart from one time. Not sure how much of my experience is down to my computer being old and slow as well, so hard to tell for sure how slow it really is. I'm not sure how to investigate it further, if @implodedok doesn't know either then I don't know where to go from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Strange... My computer is new though, and my connection allows me to watch youtube video's in HD (yes, that's how I check my internet speed ), so I'm pretty sure it's not from my end, that and other people having the same issue.

Stan` Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 It's slow as well on my end, but it doesn't prevent it from loading. Maybe it's a browser timeout thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTreePaladin Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 It's slow for me. For several days, it didn't work at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribez Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 to me, unread content page doesn't load since mid december i get the same message of Sundiata: Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems.

Stan` Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Maybe it's different for team members... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeta1127 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Threads have occasionally been not loading for me as well, such as the Stable/Archery Range/Workshop thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I contacted @implodedok and he said we should contact IPB (I believe someone did so) to see if it's a problem on their side on ours and if it's the later he'll have a look when he gets some time he is busy at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks Stan. The performance problem is definitely not only related to the forums, because the IRC bot also sometimes reports things half an hour to an hour after they happened on Phabricator. Also just clicking on things on the forums takes longer than it used to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
implodedok Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 The speed issues, as well as the unread content not loading issue, should all be resolved now. :-) 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki1950 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 We still have our "Report post" link though clicking it during the slow down was a bit painful as to the cause of the slow down it's self my guess is that the data base that manages the whole forum needed a new index generated.
