Website up and down lately

[AlphaDog]

Yes, I'm completely aware that the site is sometimes not responding. Other times it's giving a dbase error.

Nothing has changed in the config, so I'm not sure what's going on. I've got someone with more know-how looking in to it, but until/unless the problem is found and fixed, it might just be something we'll have to put up with.

As a work-around if you are struggling to get to the login screen and getting a database error, try icedogfans.com instead of forum.icedogfans.com and then select the "Contact" option, then once you get logged in you can disregard sending any message through the contact form.

Have you tried an off-line defragmentation of the database?

[AlphaDog]

It could have been a table in the database called 'guestviews' that was used by an add-on that tracked the number of guest visits. I disabled the add-on. Not sure if it will fix things, but fingers crossed.

I figured he did it on purpose. With the ice dogs off for a few days you guys needed something else to shake your fists at.

My point exactly when the site runs at 99.99% the odd problem is forgotten! Great job AlphaDog (is now the right time to ask about a raise?)

Well, this is THE nicest forum of all the OHL teams I have browsed, so hats off to you guys for making this happen.

New-guy question...who funds this endeavour?

Abject flattery is always in season. I have to agree, no other individual team has the kind of fan involvement that this one attracts - and that is based largely on the quality of the participants.

AlphaDog is the site's benefactor.
