Yeah, last night I got some weird error about "not being able to connect to the Database"... :blink:

It took me a while, but eventually I was able to log onto the Forum again.... :erm:

I'm having the same problems as Timx4 at the moment. The site can't load and it has taken me 45 minutes to connect to the server. :confused: Kind of frustrating..

hmmm, what night was this? It would've been Sunday night? :erm: I think I was on here then too, Ara, and I got that same message! Or maybe it was Saturday... either way, that happened to me too! But it only lasted for several moments before I was back on. Weird! :blink:

@PD - I think it was either Sunday or Saturday, the latter being the most likely... I wanted to throw my computer through the wall! >.<

Do you think Arweb would be able to fix it? :confused:

I've been getting 'unable to connect' messages throughout the day...it's terribly frustrating. It seems like it's been getting worse.

Well I think it can be said that there have been problems with AU for sometime.

Sometimes it's not a problem, and other times, like now it can get pretty bad. I wouldn't be too worried, there's no strange messages appearing like "3 days 'till universal domination", so all I can say is try different things like deleting cookies, that sometimes helps or if you have the forum favourited, try and access it through the main site instead.

I'm sure it will ease away into nothingness very soon, until the next time is acts like a three year old with a tantrum. :-)

*pokes head in* Ah, so I'm not alone in my very-slow-A-U dilemma. Good to know. :-P


I've just gotten used to it. Like JF said, I'm sure it won't last forever... and wow, I didn't realize others did the whole copy-paste thing too. :lol:

Hahah the copy-paste club... yup, I'm definitely not alone I see :P
Yeah I've gotten used to A-U being slow over time... it's been on like that for about a year or maybe half? Not a huge deal... the forum still works. :)

A-U is uber slow for me. It usually takes me 15-20 minutes to get into the "What are you listening to?" thread and even when I do eventually get it, it might not always process whatever I try to post.

The page either goes blank, shows up as an error or simply won't load at all. And that's how it is whenever I try to click on any forum link that isn't the forum index link.

It's very, very frustrating. I'm not an active poster anymore because of this. There's no point, if you know what I mean...

Oh I definitely know what you mean... I only make about one post a day because of it too. :blink: I'm not really inclined to wait 10 minutes to view one page anymore...

Hmm, I really can't say it's ever been that bad for me. Usually it's just the "page cannot be displayed" and then I either refesh the page. If that doesn't work I close the page down, open up a new one. And if that doesn't work, I go to the forum via the main site, and if that doesn't work I delete my cookies and internet files and then if that doesn't work I restart the computer.

Thinking about it, that's a lot of work to get the form loading, but I'm so used to it by now, I hardly notice doing it. :blink:

The music page has always been slow for me and only works now and then. I'm wondering if it's to do with the amount of pages or something.

Yikes the music thread is incredibly long, seems about time for a new thread I think. I don't think threads without hundreds of pages generally take so long to load.

I noticed that AU has been slow as well, it takes me forever to load pages and stuff. It seems like there are alot of bugs too, like I have to login twice everytime I try to login because it doesn't go through the first time. Plus sometimes when I try to post it just takes me to the forum index. Maybe it is the forum server, perhaps AU could be moved to a better server, even the free ones like Proboards and Invisionfree load better for me. It was just a thought...

That'd probably be a good idea. There are quite a few constant problems with the music thread.

It wouldn't be deleted though, would it? :(
