Some site features temporarily disabled
« on: April 26, 2012, 03:28:25 am »
For the time being, some site features have been temporarily disabled:

-Spam forum: For some reasons, page #1 of the spam section takes an unusually high amount of time to load and caused the site to hang. Every other page there loaded perfectly. It has now been disabled completely to reduce risks of downtimes while the administrators figure out the issue on that page and improve the server performances.
Spam forum has been re-enabled.

-Search engine: Due to the new database format, the search engine no longer works. It was resource-intensive too, anyway (even on AspirationHosting it took ages to load). If you have a question, just make sure to check the first few pages of threads in the appropriate forum section and if you cannot find your answer, then create a new topic. As always, we got Casio, TI and computer programming and support forums for you.

Search is re-enabled, though it isn't the fastest.

-Board statistics: The weekly/monthly top 10 posters mod installed on that page is very resource intensive, as if the rest of the page itself wasn't enough. For the time being, only the static posting graph, along with download stats will show up there. If you want daily post statistics, use this for now.
Stats are re-enabled.

-OmnomIRC: The shoutbox will remain disabled until server load issues are resolved, as it is one other resource hog. For now, use Mibbit or a real IRC client and connect to EFnet to join #omnimaga. If that doesn't work, you can use OmniNET (irc.omnimaga.org) too.
Thanks to jimbauwens, OmnomIRC is back up.

-IRC post notifier and OmniNet relay: Alberthrocks have setup a temporary bot to replace them for the time being. If that bot fails too, then use this to view the latest posts.
Bots are now functioning properly.

-The Game: Losing is not as common, but is still possible, especially if you notice this bit of text.
The administrators are working hard during every bit of free time they have to get the server issues resolved ASAP, so wish them luck. The good news is that the site loads incredibly fast, now, and lag is much less frequent than it was a few days ago.

Well, I guess it's fine for me. Good luck, our beloved admins.

First off, I Lost

Secondly, I noticed the search engine was disabled yesterday, lol :P

Is there a timeframe to when we'll start being able to recover these features?

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Yes I noticed the stats bars had been removed with unable to load the 'main' template.
Awww... I checked that page over 9000 times a day!
Yet overall I feel the website has slowed down considerably even with these features off...

Strange, for me it loads fine (except at a few occasions of course, which lasts around 5 minutes max) ???

Well kinda but maybe it's always happened to me just not significantly. Just took a while for buttons like quick modify to pop up. I think it's better now.

Also here's a screenshot of the stats page error:
EDITT: Where's the attachment option?? ???
Oh maybe you can't do it in the news board?

Nice, thanks jim :D. Hopefully netham45 and the others can figure out a solution for the rest too.

What about doing one of those custom Google search bars? They seem to do well with forums and such, and the resources wouldn't be used on the omni server.

Lack of search makes things really difficult when there's a specific thread that you want to find...Is there really no way to implement it back in?

Not until a solution is found to the slowdowns problems. Search was even slow on AspirationHosting (our most performant host in Omni history). For now I think it could possibly be replaced with Google search, because indeed it's hard to find stuff.

Otherwise there's site:www.omnimaga.org <search query> in Google until that's done.

We can have people search site:omnimaga.org on Google themselves, but IIRC we can't use it as our official search engine (it's against their ToS because it could replace their paid Custom Search service).
