Thought Spark flipped the switch and put the forum on timeout for a bit. :eek:
 
That was weird. Seemed to last a bit over an hour. Mostly better now. :shrug:
 
Just a heads up; we're waiting on new replacement VMs & other hardware to be provisioned from our provider, but this involves a move as well because the datacenter we're in has been sold & our data has to be migrated to another city. They wanted to set up our webservers in the new spot and leave the db backend in town, but that would have required some finagling that would have caused more issues.

We're also going be making some front end changes shortly after the new solutions are in place. More on that later.

Is this the fix?? After almost a yr I do hope things get to the way they used to be..:D

The answer is "I hope so"

We've looked at multiple issues and have been made all sorts of promises. This happens randomly but most often at peak traffic hours (9-12AM EST, particularly Friday and Sat). At this point we're doing teardowns and replacing equipment; new firewalls, new servers, etc.
 
Sounds like there's light at the end of two tunnels: One is the server and DB issues, and the other *may be* a forum upgrade after it all works out? :)

Ever-hopeful.... :thumbsup:

Thank you Kevin.
 
The latter requires changes to the former as well. Trust me, I don't like paying for software licenses I can't use.
 
Screenshot_20210113-120849_Brave_copy_810x1710.jpg I've been getting "IP address blocked" or "banned". I can't remember which, but it happened today around lunch and last week as well.

It comes back online by itself, not sure what's happening. Its working now.


Edit to add..

Took a screen shot when I tried to get on @ lunch today and got the same error.
