Despite having 'Remember Me' checked and my browser set to not delete cookies etc. every time I close the browser the site logs me out and never remembers me. Anything I'm doing wrong?
Howdy!
As weird as this may sound you may still have the old non-ssl cookie in your cache. Scroll down and click the delete forum cookies icon/link. You may also have this happen if you aren't using the secure https version of the forum. Let me know.

Thank you very much. It's all secure now, I hadn't clocked it was on the old version. Thanks for the quick response too!

Hi @Alan_K
The server had just come back up after a routine reboot during that time. Once rebooted, it takes about 5-15 minutes for the load to equalize.

You can stay up-to-date on any service issues or related at:
https://twitter.com/ElviCItiesIntl

The server is now back to optimal load values.


All the best from Memphis,

When trying to search for my posts it says "Sorry, search could not be performed. More information about this failure has been logged in the error log."

Also a few minutes ago it took me quite some time to edit and send a message. The physical memory on my computer went up to 57% and I feared everything would break down or freeze and my message would be gone. Luckily enough this wasn't the case.

Thanks, Jordan! :)

Weirdness all around. The custom search process I implemented when we initially upgraded decided on its own that it wouldn't accept connections.....From anyone.... That has been fixed.
As for the second issue, not seeing any spikes in the server CPU(s) at that time to account for the behavior you describe. I always end up with the haunted servers. Never fails :P

:smt005 Thanks a lot. The 2nd issue might have simply been my internet browser :smt021

The update that would let us utilize Php 8.1/8.2 on the forums, vastly speeding it up, as well as some new features, and some "under the hood" improvements has been postponed d/t high incoming traffic to the site.
But within a week we (knock on wood) should be enjoying the benefits of the update.
