I just got this error when going directly into the Test gear section. It only happened once.
I think we have seen this recently.

It was me hacking in a order fix, a bug in the query, missing a conditional :), ordering is correct now.

I've always been amazed how well SMF just handled this stuff, like it's bullet proof.

Some major sever changes have been done which at the moment can be selectively turned on for individual users.
If you'd like to help out testing this new upgrade please message or email gnif your IP address and it can be enabled.
This will affect the main website and the forum.
It's important to test it before it's enabled for everyone.
Thanks.

It works fine for me (quoting it, etc.).
"Bad Gateway" doesn't sound like any kind of database-related problem to me.

The gateway error you see isn't specifically database related, but the root cause of the issue is. It's a universal law that error messages can't be too helpful  :P.

I'm more than happy to test things. The IP I'm posting from covers 99% of my forum use.

Hmm, a bump in the road, just a moment ago (524 timeout), but it's fine now.  Also had a couple 502s and outages the other day, but obviously, you Aussie bastards were doing the maintenance at local downtime, which is primetime for us... so inconsiderate  :horse:  :-DD

Doesn't seem faster or anything, but my experience might be limited by network speed, and anyway, do whatever it is you need to do with the database to make it less resource intensive / more stable / easier to maintain. :)

I had only yesterday, for a few hours, the "Bad Gateway 502" error.

Today was something strange, but with the EEVBlog main-site:
Tried to load the main-site. Browser freezes for approx. 90 sec. with a blanc screen, only showing a (translated from german) "transmit data with apis.google.com". After that the site loaded as usual.
What the hell is "apis.google.com"?
Had anyone else this problem, too?

Yes, the overall performance seems noticably slower. But that is the difference between 500ms and 1500~2000ms

Forum is feeling very sluggish at the moment.
My IP is on the testing list if it matters.

Tapatalk has been unusable for me the last few days for EEvblog. Best case is that it is very slow to load, but most of the time I give up and go to a web browser. Same situation with iOS and Android.

Reports are no longer required of poor performance, we can clearly see the issue in the server's monitoring metrics. The root cause is that switching the remaining tables to InnoDB has blown out their size and they are unable to be cached in ram, as Dave stated we are getting a RAM upgrade after which there will be some tuning in order to take advantage of the additional RAM which should alleviate the issue.

That RAM upgrade last night seems to have resolved any problems I was having. All good now.

We are aware there seems to be an issue with a database query, I am investigating and will update shortly.
