It's an issue with the server. If there is a lot of load, when the site hits the database to get the posts for a specific category, it times out. We've done a lot recently to help increase performance when there is a lot of load. See if it happens to you again in the upcoming betas. Bara
The problem has been resolved. Apologies for the issues. Bara
[quote who="IROKONESS" reply="501" id="2687665"]Something never set right at security reset. Need some help..... I am automatically logged in for forums but cannot log in homepage for downloads.

FYI: Due to a security concern we reset all cookies last night. You will be asked to login again for all of our sites. Nothing crazy, just a precaution :) As for the number of booms per day, the booms only occur at very specific times of the day (which coincide with various jobs that we run which calculate features for the forum and elsewhere, as well as to clean up the forum's indexes to keep it fast). So if you visit and get 5 booms, that doesn't mean others will b

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="18" id="2682012"]Nice idea Fuzzy but how would we know they weren't shopped or "enhanced" a bit? @ Bara. I can see your point. If it complicates things too much or just isn't really needed maybe it should go. I'd rather see something like
The double and triple posting problem is resolved. Things should start to settle down now. And our database guy has found yet another database problem that may be causing lag and forum booms, so he is in the process of re-working it. Bara

Showing a user as being "online" when they visit a website doesn't mean much. The user can close the browser at any time and the database wouldn't know about it. Not to mention we'd have to have a call to the database on every single page to let it know that the user is still "online." I think I might just remove this feature entirely, as it's kind of useless (this is a forum with static content, not a chat with dynamic content). As for the male/female bit.
I'll look into resolving it for the next update. Bara
We are still seeing booms in our logs early in the morning and later in the afternoon. We are moving around some of our database jobs to try and resolve those. Unfortunately, some of these jobs are necessary for the operation of the forums and may take hours to run, so we can only do so much on that end. I'll keep you all updated of any more changes. Bara
Here comes no boom.
