IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT HFBOARDS - Please read!

[OldCraig71]

Changed today with the new update, as Markovsknee said.

Friday evening should give it a fine test drive.

 

[bsl]

Ditto

And sometimes when I log back in, the format is skewed and I cant even see my notifications.

I’m bloody glad not to see my notifications.

Friday evening should give it a fine test drive.

That's exactly what will happen when the Habs select Katchuk with their 3OA. Followed by trading for Lucic. Good times ahead.

Kudos on the recent ad spots appearing on your site.

One of them is this ad which appeared repeatedly throughout yesterday: Exclusive: Passenger Wins Big

And when the ad appeared, it made a pitch using the following pic:

Great job attracting these quality advertisers to HF.

Isn't that website legit? With their Journal de Montréal vintage 2010 fake logo as their header? They had a cool trivia poll that combined people's SSN with Birth Date, Childhood's Best Friend name and your four favorite digits, I just couldn't resist posting mine, it was so fun!

Go to Mandatory.com and see the content there. They need chick pic seekers or else no money.

I can't get the cookie workaround to work, for the constant logging out on Opera. Logs me out every time I refresh etc.

Same here, and I've been heralding the advantages of using Opera. That trick Fenchy linked to doesn't exist in Opera and I tried clearing cache and cookies. Then when I click on a thread, all of a sudden I'm logged on.

Make sure you're accessing the site via HTTPS -> https://hfboards.mandatory.com

Update your bookmarks/quickdials/whatever so you never access the site via plain HTTP again.

That did it, not sure why I never thought of that.. thanks.

https was the fix with Opera.

My Opera don’t allow me to reply to any messages? Same with Internet Explorer. When I reply or create a new message, the message part of the window is not there.

Posting this on my IPhone cause it’s the only way I can right now

Everyone’s avatar is gone too

For whatever reason nothing corrected the constant logouts for me, since the upgrade, except for disabling javascript for the site. Certain functionality doesn't work, mostly embedded videos/tweets, but it's better than logging on every couple minutes.

That happened to me for a while yesterday, but all is back to normal now.

Already getting errors on virtually every click. Not feeling positive about our Draft experience tonight.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

you'd think migration would have fixed these issues

 

[llamateizer]

Nice HFBoards. Server fails on draft , free agency and TDL day

Did you change your bookmarks?

Site is now https.

Bookmarks may be set to http forcing you to log in. Edit them.

HostGator dedicated Enterprise Server (managed)

HostGator dedicated Enterprise Server (managed)

Lol you are apparently not a web guy...right?

They need an elastic package on AWS (they are probably already on AWS) so that they can handle 50x-100x spikes (plus an elastic CDN), it's textbook AWS or any of the cloud competitors with elastic features (Google, Microsoft) or anyone who builds on AWS elastic (hundreds here).

Managed servers are for small sites, this site becomes enterprise grade for 3-4 weeks a year.

They must have significant compute problems (CPU limitations) as these forums software package are all CPU hogs, again elastic is what could solve it (as well as popping on 30-40x more CPU allocations basis for 2 weeks). The issue here: even elastic wouldn't scale fast enough without more allocations available to be able to react.

Thanks for your response. I'm not a server hardware expert, but I've used other busy forums that do not have the constant issues that plague HF, so assumed it was in part at least, a server hardware issue. Especially so since the problems have sky-rocketed since the migration.

I don't know the typical volume of users, but I have seen issues here on
regular days at irregular hours. I'm assuming that the bulk of the work is DB read/write and RAM and cache hungry.

I do know that Client side RAM usage appears higher than typical sites, and I'm speculating that is in large part to the advertising element, possibly the server is also burdened.

Anyone else having major issues even after the draft?
