Locked out the net

[Woody70x2]

Why? Thought logged in .net users were okay?

[Dan Sarf]

Me too! It's back now though thank goodness.

Thought I was going to have a heart attack! :fuming:

[leemel]

me also ?????

[DaveF]

Registered users were locked out for a short spell due to sheer volume of people on here.

[Weststandwanab]

Why? Thought logged in .net users were okay? Me too. We were two up as I was locked out and disappointed to see we drew 2 each after I got back in ! Still the glass of Vintage Port went down very well as I read the Hear7s going down today.

The little iSpy function is worth the £10 annual membership alone :agree:

[Mikey]

We were getting database errors because of the number of users online so cut it right back to Private Members only.

[hibeeleicester]

Make sure everyone pays £10 now!

[Glory Lurker]

Yup. I got locked out when I tried to post a comment. I just assumed that at long last the admins had installed a quality control system on posts.

[Weststandwanab]

Registered users were locked out for a short spell due to sheer volume of people on here. It would have been handy to have warning of that possibility

[Mikey]

The little iSpy function is worth the £10 annual membership alone :agree:

The i-spy feature was freely available on the match update thread but people just won't use it!

[scotiaf]

Yes I was kicked to the curb also

[O'Rourke3]

First time I'd used iSpy "in all my days as a member" far better than faster than the BBC where nothing happened in the game for 7 minutes, including DU having a goal chalked off. My £10 is probably due later this month too....

[BarneyK]

The little iSpy function is worth the £10 annual membership alone :agree:

I-Spy isn't a PM thing. I'm not a PM and got logged out whilst on I-Spy. Having to rely on the BBC, I mean come on... :boo hoo:

[Mikey]

So people logged on were bumped for people logging on?
Can understand it if it's private members getting on but how is it decided who gets turfed?

Nope. It was cut back to PM's only.

[DaveF]

It would have been handy to have warning of that possibility

It would have been, but unfortunately it's not really possible. When the volume of users is so high, immediate action is needed.

It's not ideal, but that's the way it is.

[Dan Sarf]

The i-spy feature was freely available on the match update thread but people just won't use it!

Sorry, but I use it all the time - it's brilliant - but I couldn't access it towards the end of the game!!!!! Nor the main forum.

Deeply upsetting. I thought I'd been banned. :paranoid:

[Jones28]

I was too, all sorted?

[Mikey]

Make sure everyone pays £10 now!

This isn't about conning £10 out of people, it's about making sure the site didn't fall over.

[iwasthere1972]

I was locked out. Hope nobody with a lesser post count than me wasn't locked out. :hnet:

[Weststandwanab]

Make sure everyone pays £10 now! Not me. Last time this happened I donated the money - to costs of running the server - but I did not request Private Membership whatever that is.

[DaveF]

Not me. Last time this happened I donated the money - to costs of running the server - but I did not request Private Membership whatever that is.

You did indeed but you also refused private membership which is entirely your choice. If you'd taken the PM option then you wouldn't have been kicked off earlier today.

[Dan Sarf]

This isn't about conning £10 out of people, it's about making sure the site didn't fall over.


Fair enough.

[Pretty Boy]

Make sure everyone pays £10 now!

It's not about making sure everyone pays a tenner, it's about ensuring the site continues to run. No one wants us offline for several hours.

[ColintonHibs]

How do I upgrade the £10

We were getting database errors because of the number of users online so cut it right back to Private Members only. Dare I ask why as someone who knows nothing about databases ?


So people logged on were bumped for people logging on?
Can understand it if it's private members getting on but how is it decided who gets turfed? Controversial or what ?


It would have been, but unfortunately it's not really possible. When the volume of users is so high, immediate action is needed.

It's not ideal, but that's the way it is. When yu say not real" does that mean it is but.......


This isn't about conning £10 out of people, it's about making sure the site didn't fall over. The poster did not us the word conn ! they typed pay


I was locked out. Hope nobody with a lesser post count than me wasn't locked out. :hnet: I do


You did indeed but you also refused private membership which is entirely your choice. If you'd taken the PM option then you wouldn't have been kicked off earlier today. With respect, I did not refuse, I declined primarily because it was less than crystal clear what the benefits were.

Thank you :agree:

refuse \ decline - Is there any difference?

It's not less than clear, if you take a few minutes to look for the info. Or even ask an Admin and they would direct you to it.

http://www.hibs.net/content.php?5-support-hibs-net Of course there is a difference if they were the same they would be called the same thing.
I did not refuse to join the PM club I just declined to do so based on the little information I had at that time but was content to contribute to the server costs.

Many thanks for the link I will look at it

[McSwanky]

Of course there is a difference if they were the same they would be called the same thing.

Sorry for being pedantic, but from where I'm sitting, to decline is to refuse (albeit politely) so by declining you are refusing.

It's not a 'club' although in the not so distant past some folk were trying to make it it was a secret society or something

[Saorsa]

[Gettin' Auld]

Oh well. I couldn't access the site for a while and now i know why.

No big deal really.......:aok:

[Weststandwanab]

What.
I asked a question and it was answered, the board was kept open to private members only due to the heavy traffic.
That's understandable.
Didn't mean to sound off about it just asked the question. I thought it was a very reasonable question. Did you get an answer from ......


Sorry for being pedantic, but from where I'm sitting, to decline is to refuse (albeit politely) so by declining you are refusing.No apology required.

From where I sit to refuse is absolute whereas to decline is conditional.

For example I refuse to ever be a Jambo under any circumstances but I would decline going to match at the PBS

[Danderhall Hibs]

Sorry for being pedantic, but from where I'm sitting, to decline is to refuse (albeit politely) so by declining you are refusing.

Refuse sounds much more final to me, much more definite. Whereas decline could be a not just now thanks, maybe later.

[Weststandwanab]

It's not a 'club' although in the not so distant past some folk were trying to make it it was a secret society or something Apologies, if it is not a club what should I refer to it as ?

I will refer to it as that in the future if the subject rears its head.

If it does, I'm sure you'll be all over it :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'll go along with your daft game for a little longer.

It's called

Membership

and one of the benefits is that it get's you access to (though you declined or refused it)


The

Forum

Think DaveF has answered above

[McSwanky]

Look it up in the Oxford English folks, I just did!

[Hibercelona]

Could it not be made that so whenever the server becomes over loaded, users are automatically redirected to i-spy?

[Weststandwanab]

Think DaveF has answered above I concur but I did not start this thread and most certainly will not be all over it or play any daft games when we non "The Private Members Forum" is mentioned again.

Capisce ?

That aside I am not adverse to contributing to the server costs out with "The Private Members Forum"

[easty]

I'd suggest random blackouts where non preferred club .netters are kicked off. 3 or 4 times a week. That'll keep them in their place. :wink:

[Mikey]

That sounds a reasonable proposition if it's practicable.

Sadly it aint.

Today was a rare "perfect storm". There was no live coverage and no open mics so people were relying on .net for their updates. That means a lot of people refreshing the page almost as soon as it's loaded and that's not good when we've got around 4000 people online.

The server only uses a fraction of its capabilities 99.9% of the time but it needs all the oomph it can provide towards the end of an away game, so that's roughly once a fortnight. It's coped fine in the last few years but the load today was exceptional, partly because of the recent upturn in fortunes on the park.

And yes, we will be doing something about it :wink:

[down-the-slope]

This will happen again.......Given the resurgent interest in all things Hibs :greengrin such as late on Friday night coming (away at Aberdeen with it being hard for many to go)......last hour of the transfer window is always a bandwidth crusher....:wink:

I'm kind of glad we are having this issue...its a sign of progress...unless your an admin or have the (electronic) door slammed in your face :tee hee:

Friday night will be fine because it's on TV and probably Radio Scotland too.

:aok: good point....thats why you are an Admin :not worth

So just transfer deadline day to worry about then :greengrin

Any need. You called it a club. I said it isn't. You asked me what you should call it. I told you

[Just Alf]

A year or so ago I was told that iSpy was a "good thing" because it lessened the chance of a server over load and if one happened, non registered folks would be bumped then as a last resort, ...... Then registered, but non PM, folks would go the same way if things were still going pear shaped, leaving the PM bods with access.... I signed up to stop being bumped and for many months never even noticed there was a PM board... Surely if it's not your bag than don't click on it?

[cabbageandribs1875]

i've had a few database errors this morning

[HiBremian]

Cannae get ma heid roond people complaining.

.net costs to keep going. Admins offer people a chance to help keep it going with PMs. People who value keeping .net going pay a tenner a year. People who dont might lose the service sometimes.

Seems 100% fair to me.

Our hosts carried out a server upgrade without (properly) telling us!

[Sanger]

Why? Thought logged in .net users were okay?
I hear it was a test of Hibs net's new filters which blocks negative vibe from getting through!

This. People whining that a website that's essentially provided to them for free wasn't available for a bit. Website was swamped by people wanting on. It happens. Deal with it. It's not like it was a life threatening situation.

[Mikey]

Our hosts carried out a pretty big upgrade yesterday which should avoid the need to switch servers. We'll be keeping an eye on it though.

There was a new style added recently - duller colours and no sigs - perhaps it's defaulted to that? I know someone else had this issue earlier.
