New webserver installed around 14:20, but was hit with around 50,000 simultaneous "users", causing some considerable slowdown.
We're a poxy little car forum, who the opps would want to ddos us in that way - I assume bigger ddos are expensive to run...

Yes, its buggered. And will remain buggered for all users except me until I say its fixed.
The secondary server, which nobody other than me is using, is working spot on in every way, apart from one critical thing that I'm trying to sort before swapping them over. |

Sorry, spoke too soon!
Just had again a very slow response, with THAT message appearing, until after 4 attempts we got back on. CORRECTION: It has just taken another 6 attempts to post this.................................if the system now accepts it!  |

Yes, for the first time for me, I have had great difficulty in getting onto the OOF.
Repeated messages of "mmm.....page cannot be reached", followed by briefly the site being opened, then that message appearing again. Finally, after six attempts, I have entered the site and successfully posted this at 1059. CORRECTION: It has taken 7 attempts to post this, with repeated pressing of "post" giving me either no response, or THAT message again! It seems TB the poor server has been overwhelmed by us! |
