In-ter-esting. Inflection is everything...or sometimes not.

Thanks for the correction on something I bet you've had to answer a hundred times. sorry

Has anyone else been having problems, the last couple of weeks, with the site just hanging? It doesn't time out, just hangs. I keep getting it, both at home and at work, so it's probably not my ISP.

More thread sucking problems.

I know people have had trouble sucking an entire thread. I decided to threadsuck the Bitches thread from the beginning to post 3000. I don't get an error message. A page comes up, with the thread title and blurb, but there are no posts. It's happened twice. I'm off to try a smaller number of posts, but wanted to let you know, in case this is a new and different issue.

---

Tom, are there any PHP or Apache settings that could be cache or buffer or timeout related that make this happen?

---

Cindy, does the web browser keep spinning when this happens, or does the page stop loading altogether?

Has anything shown up in the error log?

We might be able to adjust some timeout settings, but IMO the best way to fix this problem is to stream each post as soon as it gets pulled out of the database, rather than loading all the posts into an array, and then dumping the array.

---

My curiosity is that it used to work, and hoped there was some re-adjustment outside of code that could make it work again. If it's quick, I mean. I'm still one release behind, code-wise.

There might be, but we need to understand how it's dying first.

Does it work for you?

The page acts as if it has loaded, completely.

I use IE (I think version 6, and a broadband connection). I am sorry I don't know the proper terms for things, so I'm going to get 'splainy. In the bottom bar in my window ie (status bar?), a little white retangular box opens up (over on the right, but to the left of the little globe that appears next to the word "Internet").

On slower loading websites, as a page loads, that little white box fills up with green bars. When I'm trying this threadsuck, it take about 15 seconds to get each green bar for the first three or four bars. After a while. Then it fills up with green, and the page fully loads, but it is empty of posts. The browser is not waiting any more, and there's the little ie "e" and the word "done" at the bottom left.

Here's a copy and paste of what I get on the page:

Natter 30: Piss off, Bitches!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

then a solid line, the "Buffista Home" link, and another solid line, then nothingness. I hope that answers your question. Thank you, Tom.

eta...

The same thing just happened when I tried to threadsuck 2000 posts, and then 1000 posts.

I'll need to test later tonight.
