Trying to get to the Forums front door.

*sigh*

It may be one of "those" days...

I've been getting them just recently, traversing posts in a thread. Actually, I usually get a bunch of that every day. A tracert usually still works, but it can take forever sometimes. I check because sometimes I get a timeout. On occasion, I cannot access any page, including the main page. What's up with that?

it's that javascript based malware sucking the data transfer capacity up from the internet.

having to find an intermittent problem.

at least the error log will let him know what content was being looked for, so he can trace it down.

by debuggist

We're narrowing in on the source of the problem. It's been difficult, because it appears to be external to the web application.

Please expect one or more instances of scheduled downtime this week as we try to rule out certain components. Beth will announce them on the site.

Thanks,
Doug

In the posts from my contacts I see:
a start for PostgreSQL
Thread: MySQL vs. PostgreSQL By: apotheon

which links to the following:
https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-22title=MySQL%20vs.%20PostgreSQL-0.html?forumID=10&threadID=97450&messageID=2410386
https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-22title=MySQL%20vs.%20PostgreSQL-0.html?forumID=10&threadID=97450

yet both give me 404 pages.
apotheon can view both the blog and discussion, while I'm getting the 404s

even starting at the front page, I cannot find any link but the one from the posts from my contacts.
4:10 pm PST [ server time ]

by debuggist

It's an application error, which I can duplicate, since Apotheon is a contact of mine, too.

I'll forward this to Engineering. Thanks for pointing it out.

P.S.: I should clarify why it is a different kind of error. It is different, because that is just a bad URL. The website should not have URLs like that.

by jaqui

I was able to get to both the discussion and article from 2000/2002 from those links only a few minutes later.

if we don't tell you about the errors, how can they be fixed? :)

by debuggist

The problem thread doesn't show in PFMC anymore, so I can't verify. If you see this again, please let me know.

Doug

I have had a few, refresh didn't work so I logout and then back in and could then browse to the page.
