I'm working on it.  looks like the server got hacked.  Appears to be the same BS as last weekend, yet last weekend the hosting provider told me everything was clean.  This weekend, I clearly got someone who knew what they were doing and confirmed that yes, the server was compromised. 

still trying to figure out how to go about fixing the issue.

Is the server playing up again?

For the last 20 minutes it was becoming stressful and I was asked to try again later.

I was running my monthly backup a week late... it's probably been slow most of the day.  I'm done now, just downloading them.

It did crash yesterday, but DavyBoySmith happened to be using the server at the time, so I got it back up pretty quickly.

I thought so... I'm just glad it wasn't being hacked again, like last month.


Meanwhile, I notice that the board clock didn't change along with DST; it's now an hour behind.

That's because you have to do it yourself.  Profile -->  Look and Layout Preferences -->  In the "Time Offset" box, put a 1.

I think in the past it has handled it automatically.  The server is running the latest kernel of Linux, no idea why it wasn't patched for this, even my Windoze box at work handled it.

Yes, in the past it has handled the time changes automatically. Maybe it's still programmed to handle the old time changes (ie, it'll probably change on April 1st)?

The boards went again about five minutes ago for a short while

The board has a clock?

j/k  I never even look at that. I use the clock on my computer desk.

I do too, but I was curious and looked at the messageboard clock.  I didn't touch it, but the time had changed automatically.  :)

The boards went out on me last night, just as I was submitting a super score on that Frogger game.  Pissed me off so bad, I nearly put my first through my monitor ;D

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

The boards just went again, only lasted about 3 minutes this time.

I get on again, off again screens that say ...

Database Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

I was fearing the server was to blame here

Yeah, it was about that time for me too. I never know how long these things are gonna take...so I decided to come back later.

was down about 3-4 hours for me today

Me too. I wasn't too sure whether it was board because I have been having problems with my computer most of the day. I'm about ready to take a sledgehammer to it.

I wasn't quite at the pound it with the sledgehammer mode, but I was wondering if anyone else was having trouble getting online.

Same for me, I was thinking did that hacker come back?

For I was getting page not found, not the stressed out server message.

I was getting the same and it was frustrating, but I was confident ChuckyG would have matters straight soon as possible

Does ChuckyG own a sledgehammer too?

yeah, it must have gone down right after I went out for the afternoon.  It was a hard crash, not just flooded with traffic like the night before.  I've been working on the archive scripts for the messageboard a lot, so it's entirely possible I wrote something bad and it brought the site down.  Not sure really.

I do not like the sound of the words "I wrote something bad and it brought the site down"

ok, I coded something poorly, and it misbehaved and possibly locked the server up

If it misbehaves, it should be grounded?
