Server Error Reports

[tautech]

Now the only real nuisance that needs attention is the first attachment in a reply when for some reason another attachment you've previously uploaded gets added to your post instead of the one you wanted. 

For some time we've been skipping the 1st attachment and only using 2nd and subsequent which results in bypassing this problem. 

I have some time today to try to track this one down.... see what bad thing SMF did to break this too

IIRC it was associated with a plugin that gave problems and Dave disabled. That also killed the pic insertion feature so everyone had to go back to using IMG flags.
Not such a problem for those of us that have been around here for a few years where it was just standard practice.

Maybe a few pages back in this thread you can find Daves comments and actions about this.

We must be thinking about different issues then, I am talking about the one where the full size image gets replaced by a future image post. My investigation points to an issue with GlusterFS.

[gnif]

Sorry about the short outage people, doing some quite extensive server upgrades to allow us to upgrade GlusterFS

Edit: Please be aware that this is still in progress, minor interruptions are to be expected

[gnif]

Work has been completed, if there are any further issues please as usual post the details here and I will do what I can

Is this fixed yet?

I didn't noticed any downtime, but right now each page has a terrible slow response.  It takes 2-3 seconds to return a page.  The pages were loading without any noticeable lag in the previous days.

Browsing from Bucharest/Romania/EU.  Other sites are working just fine, only EEVblog takes many seconds to return a forum page.

It was quite slow for me until yesterday but it's all good now. YMMV of course.

[SilverSolder]

I am also seeing slow page response times on initial load.

[PA0PBZ]

Yeah, never post 'all good now' because after that it slowed down again

It should be, time will tell.

Performance metrics show the website is loading about 5% faster then prior to the upgrade, it's likely due to your geographical location.

[RoGeorge]

The speed seems back to normal right now.  The lag is gone, thanks.

[S. Petrukhin]

Another small bug: it seems that if the user did not specify the country, the place of the flag is displayed crookedly.

[S. Petrukhin]

And I still can't attach the inserted full-size image. See previous post: I specified inline full-size, but it still inserts as a tumb.

[gnif]

Neither of which are server issues but rather quirks of SMF sorry.

[PA0PBZ]

And I still can't attach the inserted full-size image. See previous post: I specified inline full-size, but it still inserts as a tumb.

The plugin was disabled, the options still show but they do nothing. I think it was disabled in search of the mysterie picture swapping.
If it stays disabled it would be best to remove the options too.

I will suggest to Dave to re-enable it as I am pretty confident it was not the cause.

But I can see how other users display full-screen images...

Can someone fix this? It seems to me that there is simply no file 00.gif in the directory with flags.

You're posing into `Server Error Reports`, not `Forum Error Reports`. I am the server admin, not forum admin, this is up to Dave

[PA0PBZ]

Attach the image to your post and save, then copy the link for the full-sized image, edit your post and put the link between img tags.
Anyway, this thread is not for this stuff, so I will not post more. If you can't work it out ask in general.

[RoGeorge]

Not really an error, but it is very slow and very laggy again.  Text is reasonably OK, but pics are unusable slow to me.

Took about 10-20 seconds to open the two attachments here https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/software-for-automated-testing-(scpi)/msg3402554/#msg3402554 (less than 200k).

This happens only with EEVblog forum, other websites are as snappy as last year.   

Happens with all the pics, these took 3-5 seconds to open each:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-dsxxxx-gel-firmware-file-format/msg3402398/#msg3402398

Even the forum elements, like the black grid with circles background seems slow, in the sense that it feels like the page is waiting for them.

[gnif]

Loading extremely fast for me, and I am not local (AU vs US) to the server. Local route or ISP issue for you sorry.

I'm seeing a lot of weird "pagespeed" URL's, don't know if a week or so ago, when the forum was working great, was the same.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13113383/weird-pagespeed-url-for-png-image

Already deleted all caches and cookies, and it is as bad as before deletion.
Does by any chance Google Pagespeed was somehow turned on this year?  Usually browsing from a desktop with latest Kubuntu/Firefox.

Just tested moments ago with Pale Moon, and EEvblog forum is almost unusable, will install just for a quick test Chromium...

We have had pagespeed installed and active on the server for well over 2 years now. This is not the cause of any issues you are having. I collect performance metrics from 4 countries every 2 minutes across all of Dave's cluster, at current, there is not, nor has there been any degradation in performance and all pages are rendering correctly. If you are experiencing issues it is on your end.

For what it's worth: The forum was really slow for me intermittently today as well. At the moment it's better, but still somewhat slow.

EDIT: Debatable whether this is a server issue or a forum issue 

What i see in the network tab of Chrome, is that mainly external stuff takes long to load. The main culprit seems to be supplyframe.com. Almost all requests to them take 500 to 1000 miliseconds to load, and there are quite a few of them.
