Big tech is trying to hold us back

It's up and down. It was fast late last night into early morning, but started crapping out being super slow and unresponsive around 3:30am again. Right now it's quick once more.

We're not sure what's going on, it's been a recurring problem for a few weeks and we aren't sure what is triggering it. Going to have a professional look into it.

Ya'll are awesome, let us know if you need to open up the donations link.

Still having a bunch of instances where I go to open the site and it’s just a white screen, nothing loads.

Glad I’m not the only one. Thought the various websites I frequent were starting to catch up to me.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

It's not a blank white screen for me but it takes forever for a page to load, if at all. Appreciate you guys looking into it, hope you guys can sort it out soon.

Otherwise, I'll have to join NDNation

Just posting in case it has been an issue for anyone else....but it seems that bots have become a real issue for many xenforo sites which has lead to some server errors which put us temporarily down. Apologies for this. I'll keep looking into alleviating this situation when I get the chance but it seems to just be an insane amount of server requests leading to some downtime and I'm far from a server expert.

Thanks for doing what you can, Beau! Would moving off of xenforo help, or is that not an option?

Probably not an option we would like to have to carry out as transferring anything is a pain and I'm just getting used to how this one works! ha

Anybody else keep running into the "Oops we ran into an issue" page? I keep getting it a few times a day. Everything on the site refuses to load.

Hadn't read back on the page. This the issue you are talking about Beau?

Yes I get them as well.

Yeah, I've seen it off and on. Better than the website just spinning indefinitely imo, but it's a nuisance. Fortunately it's often short lived, at least for me.

Doesn't help that our DL has been underwhelming since Al Washington took over from Mike Elston. Our DL is neither stopping the run nor getting significant pass rush.

This is a program problem more so than a website problem, but your concerns will be noted and forwarded to management

 

[calvegas04]

If the site can't handle a large amount of traffic how is our OL expected to handle a strong DL?

The drop down advertisement bar dicks me everytime i try to use top buttons on an Iphone

Is this is a problem for a lot of people? It's kind of annoying to me too. I can look into hiring someone to reconfigure ads. None of us know how to do the techy stuff since Clashmore Mike passed (RIP).

Yes it is annoying, I'll go to close it and then it drops down even lower and clicks the link. I guess I'm keeping the site going with my clicks

Alright let me look into what we can do. Related -- if anyone here is an IT / website professional and wants to do the technical stuff send me a DM.

 

[Bishop2b5]

It does the same on my Android phone. I try to click on alerts and the ad drops down and covers the alert icon. Just as you try to click a button it drops down again and it opens the ad half the time. Very annoying.

 

[ColoradoIrish]

I'm a tech person and have set up multiple websites, won't claim to be an expert when it comes to ads and web design but Im willing to help out and take a look at it. No need to spend money to hire someone if it can be avoided

 

[dublinirish]

site was down a little earlier (SQL errors?) seems ok now?

 

[zelezo vlk]

Idk about y’all but I had issues connecting last night on mobile

 

[NDBoiler]

I’ve had issues getting the site to load yesterday and earlier this morning.

 

[SportsingHard]

The site's been down a number of times over the past 24 hours, and I'm on desktop.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

I keep getting same error. The “Oops, we ran into some problems”.

 

[NDdomer2]

Seems to happen less on my laptop and is almost constant on mobile.

Clearing cache/cookies didn't seem to impact.
