Forum crashing

[Richard White]

Good evening everyone,

I noticed the past few days that the forum is crashing whenever I visit threads. Does anyone know what is causing this?

It's been very slow, sometimes not loading up, sometimes crashing.

We've had some major server issues. Working on a fix. Please remain patient.

It's slow for me right now.

Yesterday I couldn't access the forum or even the main UT page. This morning I keep getting the error in my attached image I had to attempt about 5 times before I actually got in here to post.

Most of the past day the entire site, but in particularly the forum has been unusable. Either errors / unable to access altogether, or if I was able to access it, I'd be waiting 3-5 minutes for a page to open.

Edit to add: this past day has made me realize how much a part of my daily routine browsing UT has become ?.

It would be great if we could get a server upgrade.

UT could set up a Patreon page to help pay for the upgrade.

The rewards can include being able to browse UT ad-free without ad blockers.

I would gladly pay for a premium version of UT without ads.

Never mind the ads, honestly I would pay good money just to be able to hide the giant floating bar that wastes space at the top of the screen while I'm trying to scroll through threads. Whoever designed that was clearly not using a 13" laptop display.

We are in the process of upgrading our server.

Moving from the UNIVAC 1101 to an IBM 360/30?

P.S. I started with the COBOL language on an IBM 360/30.

There are ads?

 

[Richard White]

There are ads?

Yes.

 

[SunriseChampion]

I don't have any.

Is there a smug arsehole emoji?

 

[Northern Light]

I heard there was.....and that it looked something like this:

But I haven't been able to confirm it!
