TPD is intercoursed.

TPD is intercoursed.

Not just TPD - any thread with a sizeable number of replies. See The Funny Picture Thread and The Counting Thread - same thing. I also can't get in to the Admin Control Panel, where I was going to try clearing the system cache in case that helped

I no longer have access to the servers, so I can't even have a look in the logs to at least work out what's going on

Curiously I can still edit my last post in TPD using the search (click on user name: brings up list of posts, click edit & voila!). Though it brought up a 524 error it had made the edits.

I think that works because it's only querying the database for that specific post, and the list of posts is also queried based on the user and then the posts. For a normal thread page, it's trying to get a bunch of posts and, due to how relational databases work, that requires a fair amount of memory to filter it down to the ones to display.

My guess is that the database server is having memory problems so it struggles on threads with x,000 posts or more where x is greater than or equal to 3 (Dead Celebs is nearly 2,700 and still loads)

You can still read TPD by looking at Latest Activity and reply. A sub-optimal experience but ok for the interim.

Hurray. A 542 error when posting to TPD

[ladymuck]

And a 500 error when posting here!
