it's satruday night

i'm drunk, kind of

tomorrow i go to work again. I usually i look forward to something new going on around here when I go to work on Sunday, if only a picture of a toilet or a short poem about footy.

Unfortunately lately nothing seems to be working- people have conversations and replies don't appear -it takes ages to load the page-

Is there a software upgrade, or a database cleanup that can solve this problem ?

I'm only posting this thread because I really like this place, and I'm concerned with recent developments. The technical malfunctions, and the fact that the link via the main page towards this bulletin board has not been reinstated, make me wonder how much of a future this place has.

Please correct me if I am delusional.

if this place is not working you can always go to the old " THE SHOW" forum... nevermind that one is closed to new members. Maybe the Org.--that one is by invitation only, but it is not closed yet.

At least this one is still open and allows new members. Take the bad with the good and the good with the less than horrible.

this is the first time all day i've managed to get this site to load without hitting "refresh" 50 times.

so while it's working, this is for you, dear tipper.

What is he reading ?

"Turn Your Life Upside Down: How To Become An Alcoholic"

"Why Pirates Always Lose at Cricket".

"On Call -- a History of Alcoholic Surgeons"


I used to think the SDMB had a lot of time-outs.

hear, hear!

I would've posted sooner, but it's taken around five tries over the course of a day to log on...

:D

"New Age Bling: How to Make the Most of Your Mystical Jewelry"

i thought it was just me

:(

I'm feeling quite fortuitously left out here; for some reason I'm not getting those problems (touchwood!) The pages are slow to load and sometimes my browser tries to download a file rather than open the link I click on, but it only takes one or two goes to load the page and I haven't had trouble logging in. Actually I leave my account logged in, so that might not be an indicator.

i'm sorry guys, i've emailed ze again about this database poop going on with the board. i hope he can help!

if anyone has any clues regarding trends in downtime please post it here~!
