Forum Discussion/Suggestion Thread

It's a forum thing. It's at the bottom of every page.

I'm pretty sure one of the links attached to this text at the bottom is not the one it's supposed to be.

Link in the footer, the tricolor referral is out of date

Code: Select all

http://tricolor.x-tk.ru/

The link appears to be for a scam site who had has bought the domain when free

Please remove it or change it, sorry I couldn't find a new referral maybe the wayback machine can help?
Oh the site is taken down on the archive - it is a scam site, sorry

Not sure if it's a scam, it's an actual russian satellite tv company, although that particular page seems dead. Still it's probably not who we should thank for the SCS forum theme.

Why is loading and signing in on this forum so awful slow?
and takes loading topics on this forum so awful long?

Are there other users of this forum experiencing the same problem?

As every other internet side load in less than 1 fraction of a second.

Please : a suggestion or solution would be very nice.

kind regards Tinusman,

I've been getting a lot of 502 and 504 errors, especially in the evening (central time, GMT-6). This has been going on for over a week; there must be a problem with the servers.

Week? It's been months. And the people responsible for it apparently are incapable of fixing the thing.

[plykkegaard]

I'd say years but that just me
It usually happens during OB or when new content is revealed or released

Maybe it's time to ditch the old data from forums / discussions in the past?
Have a kind of archive instead?

phpBB supports distributed databases but it is not for everyone to deal with it
It requires funding to be able to get it sorted

I really don't think it's about data volume. Its something more basic about infrastructure.

The database is over 8gb.
