I removed 50,000 comments from the database today, images and forum. Pretty sure all were spam. Maybe some non spam got caught up, dunno. Shouldn't have but can never be sure, I wasn't checking them all

Yeah very strange. I don't really know It's been fine for me since we disabled all the caching system.
The weird thing with that, was it was all enabled on the previous servers, so .. I don't really understand how that broke things so badly. Fortunately the new core is way more powerful and can handle the load of the sites without caching.

What browser? Any security/tracking/ad blocking/etc?
Anybody else with this issue?
I haven't had any problems since we force-disabled the caching

You could try deleting cookies for the site. Otherwise yeah just come to forum, log off and log on again.
The caching issue we had (which I think is now fixed) was well and truly messing up the login status etc. If you eg visit in incognito/private browsing/whatever mode and login I'm pretty confident that session will just work
Shift+refresh on the affected pages might help too. As far as

Yeah, refresh will sort it, if you have further issues you might need to shift-refresh or delete cookies but it should be alright now.

Heh nah all good thanks though
We've installed our new core DB, just doing testing before cutting the site over.

I've changed most things to using SSL / https today. Things like viewing images, forum etc should give you a neat little padlock when browsing in chrome.
I don't know why the gallery doesn't. I don't see any non-https content in there. But whatever.
Either way, it's now secure to send me all your credit card information. Let me know if you see anything more broken than normal.

TISM
Everyone else has had more sex than me -
Greg the stop sign -
TISM were popular on the main youth/alternative radio station (Triple J) in the early-mid 90s. Most of their stuff was banned from any mainstream outlet, with songs like "I might be a cunt, but I'm not a fucking cunt" or "I'm on the drug that killed Riv

Hmm I haven't noticed any particular slowness, but it wouldn't shock me.
Yeah top list and a few other DB query heavy things don't work anymore. The main server is pretty much on its knees these days (the one we installed earlier in this thread in 2012!) .. I've had to massively increase the amount of connection handlers we run (5x increase), because we were running out of them and it was disp

I think I've fixed the image comment stuff; seems to work OK now, so let me know if any issues, I haven't really tested it (and hacking php isn't my speciality)
Forum: plus613.net
The admins around here are downright strange.
I agree it all feels faster. DK also moved it all to php7, which seems like it has a lot of good performance improvements.
The database was all upgraded too, so that'll help as well.
Forum: plus613.net
So we've upgraded all the webservers today; hence the outage for a while
Anyway, so far everything feels a lot quicker, let us know if you notice anything weird
