[fatboy99]

Has any one else had a problem with the forum quitting around 2:30 am eastern ? Some times it last for 10 min some times 30 min.I have no problem with any other web site during this time frame and Ive cleared my cookies and history with no result. It's been happening for about a week now.

Thank's In advance for any help

Yep...does it to me too. Once in a while its a random time...but mostly at that set time.

At first i thought it was my Internet provider but resetting the modem and wireless router didn't help either. What web browser are you using Brian B ? Im on Firefox.

I get it too, around midnight to 1 pacific time. IE or Firefox. I figured it was just site maintenance.

Same here. It either slows to a crawl or stops entirely. It's like clockwork every night, just before midnight PST. I was actually getting ready to make a similar post and ask what the issue is.

Seems like it is 11:15-11:45 PM in California. Every night.

Must be site maintenance since so many of us are getting the same thing.

The other weird random thing (once in a while) may be my ISP.

I have gotten the random one on chrome, firefox, and I.E.

Usually when I see this on a forum, it is during the database backups.
Mysql gets pretty "locked" during a backup dump, and freezes up a site.
That's my guess as to what you're seeing here, but I wouldn't know. I'm asleep at that time most days.

I have been paying more attention in the last few days. Mine is loading...but takes forever to open a new thread. It starts at 1:48 AM central U.S. time. I have not quite figured out when it goes back to normal speeds yet.

EDIT: 2:27 AM it went back to normal this time. LOL

I have been getting on the forum earlier and haven't had an issue. Ill have to log in around 2 am to see if its still acting up for me.

that's why they should implement a redundant pair of databases with replication. temporarily break replication and backup the offline database with no impact on the online one. then turn replication back on and let the offline catch up to the online one and all is back to normal.

or do file system snapshots and back up from the freeze.

I guess Ryan may be doing server updates as the same issue has been raised over on the HAMB forum.
