Unresponsive website (at times)
« on: April 06, 2012, 08:49:49 pm »
I believe this started about the same time the bot filter was installed. What happens is that every now and then when I click on a link on omnimaga (just an ordinary link), omnimaga just becomes unresponsive. Stop/Refresh doesn't do anything at all and if I let it go long enough, chrome will ask me if I want to force close it. The only way I can get the page to load is to x out that tab and try again.

Also, it usually happens on the third omnimaga page I open. For instance, www.omnimaga.org > Forums > *click on topic in recent 15* <frozen> That topic will not open and the tab simply hangs on the Forum section.

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

Yeah it seems the server limits your amount of connections to Omnimaga, because it thinks you're a spambot. IIRC Netham45 went with that soft bot filter because with the other one, some legit users were just plain locked out from Omni completely.

Btw if you open the Register page, do you get an error?

Nope, I could theoretically register a new account.

I see. Maybe he still allows it, or maybe something else is affecting your site connection.

Agreed, this is a legit problem. Perhaps chrome only, though. (At least in my experience).

Question to you two, guys: If you logout then try logging in again, is there a CAPTCHA/security code form thing that appears? If so, then that's definitively the bot filter that is affecting you.

I've never had this problem but I use firefox so it may just be a chrome specific bug. I'll try browsing in chrome later to see if it happens to me there

Don't you have a Pentium III 768 MHz, though? ???

Then maybe Netham45 set something up that limits the connections, or it might be an issue on your end. I'm thinking this might be because the server is running in safe mode now, though.

A captcha? when was that installed? O.O
I think the problem I have in google chrome is that sometimes I load an omnimaga page and chrome says that the page is not available. It's like the whole site is offline. This only lasts a maximum of a few minutes. Usually force reloading or loading the home page eventually works.

Huh, now it's happening to me too (with Chrome). Once in a while it just stops responding in a particular tab.

It seems to be in loading the page, because posts I make load fine even when the page after submission doesn't load.
