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

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)

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

Invalid page URL error for 'Working from Airbnb' post in Accounting/Legal.

[WTFH]

Is it just me?
Once this morning, mid post, the login screen appeared. After logging in, the post was still there and posted OK
Then I closed out of here and went back in a few minutes later, again it's asked for my login.

Getting the Invalid Page URL error again when trying to view some newly created threads.

I got this error message again today when trying to view the 'The courts say/we say' thread in the IR35 Reform sub-forum.

The Spectrum was available as a 16k unit if you were cheap

Zx81, the Spectrum supported 48k

You only got to 16K with a strap on!

and the 2k upgrade didn't help

its bust and not in a good way

[eek]

I'm maxed out at 16k. Just like the Spectrum.

Excellent news. Can we also double the amount of RAM in the mods?

We doubled the RAM on the server - on AWS - no expense spared for you all. Hope that also helps. Any probs post here.
