I would've been able to stay on the site if we hadn't got hit by lightning this afternoon. Now I can only go into the forum, which sucks, because I read that typhlosion bragged about finally loading up images from Funny Car Summer. Unfortunatly, I can't see any of them, and I can't even see the title listed.



it was up all afternoon today!!!

the avatar pic is probably original, but unfortunately not mine :smile: I found it on web somewhere, but was quite good back then as I owned very similar 850 in same colour :smile:


It seems to have been inspired by Yves Klein's performance works "Anthropométrie de l'époque bleue" 1960... :grin:

How do we do to get a picture with our pseudo on this forum?

I checked the site late last night & it was working fine, but I was too tired to add anything then!
I got home early today expecting to add some pics (What was I thinking.! :smile: )
Antp, don't you know anyone like Abby & McGee from 'NCIS'? ..They'd have sorted this out within a few minutes! :grin:

Last night it was indeed apparently fixed but not anymore now, I can't log in :ohwell:
06/02/2010 @ 14:21:04: antp: Maintenance / Connection problems
I restarted MySQL

Seems to work now, Antoine thanks, what did you have to do? :smile:

I restarted MySQL, as I said (the software which handles the database on the server). That's what I did the previous times it was down. Except two days ago: the server seemed to have a bigger problem as I could not even restart MySQL. But there is a problem, it is not normal that it happens, I hope that they will solve that.

That sounds like trouble. :grin: At the bottom of this page you have: Signed In As (Your Account, Sign Out) Click on Your Account and then Avatar.

That's how I got this awesome picture. Logging in seems to be alright for me. Didn't find any problems there, but I wager that it will magically go down in a few hours...

There was a problem in the database: not all contributions waiting were visible in the list. That is fixed, as I asked the server to check the tables, but while doing that it gave me a warning message about the fact that the vehicles table list went from 261012 to 261011 in the process.
Either someone deleted a car while that was done (but it is not in the delete log), or there was an error, or a car was lost... Maybe I should offer a reward for the one who finds it? :lol:

I like money :grin:

Yes, car and colour have caused associations... :smile:

Real story: there is a girl in my company, who had to pay after an identical situation - she had broken off the wipers. :joce:

It seems that they will try to find a solution to prevent such problem from happening, we'll see.

They answered? So we rather won't move on different server and I can add pics? :wink:
07/02/2010 @ 23:55:23: antp: Maintenance / Connection problems
Still not much progress on that, no.
But you can still add pics :grin:
Even if we move, we first have to find a server anyway.

Strange, I'm not able to log into the main page at this time. It didn't seem to work this morning either.
08/02/2010 @ 04:36:57: ProwlerX: Maintenance / Connection problems
Wait..I lied. I'm all set now. Something must have been wrong on my end.
08/02/2010 @ 10:05:04: antp: Maintenance / Connection problems
When you said that you could not log in, it was with a "too many connections" error? Or something else? Please report here only the problem related to that "too many connections problem", so I know when these happen, as other problems are most likely unrelated.

Between 11'30-11'35 CEETime, I began to validate http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=74554

Firts 4-5 vehicles were all OK but from them on every validation needs a lot more time for it. The page takes a long time to be updated after the click in 'validate'
08/02/2010 @ 12:00:00: antp: Maintenance / Connection problems
Yes, server is a little overloaded it seems, lots of pending connections, it may lock again then.
But why do you validate vehicles one by one? Isn't it easier to check if all are ok, and if they are validate the whole page in one time?
