Forum issues - revist

GotNet · Wed Nov 01, 2006 4:44 pm

Anyone else been having forum issues in the last 24hrs? No page loads, blank pages, timeouts, etc...

fatonk · Wed Nov 01, 2006 5:20 pm

ACK me also

firebat · Thu Nov 02, 2006 10:31 am

Me too. It took 3 minutes just for the page to appear to post this reply.

csickles · Thu Nov 02, 2006 2:21 pm

Started within 1/2 hr of B2 anouncement (I had just started my download)
I think it was an issue of too many users on their pipe..
It seems beter now...

it was not related to downloads. such traffic we can handle.

cmit · Thu Nov 02, 2006 3:12 pm

Hmmm, not really better here.

Still taking up to 30 seconds and more for a page to load...

Best regards,

janisk · Thu Nov 02, 2006 3:15 pm

as normis have said - this is not download related, period.

if it was download realted, then after few hours it would be ended... but it is not.

cmit · Thu Nov 02, 2006 3:18 pm

I have never said this was related to download traffic.

From my net connections (tried over different German providers) it's simply a lousy connection with ping times over 200-300ms and a packet loss of up to 60% sometimes...
Most of the problems I see are in the NTT backbone area (AS2914).

well strange, tools like this show no problems now:
http://www.gomez.com/registration/instant_test.html

cmit · Thu Nov 02, 2006 3:41 pm

Well, when trying this tool, it won't work, because a JavaScript function "checkURL" is not defined....

But whatever the problem is - I'm on holiday this week and don't really care

Best regards,
Christian Meis

Thu Nov 02, 2006 3:43 pm

this tool requires IE

cmit · Thu Nov 02, 2006 3:48 pm

Indeed (although this is not mentioned anywhere I could see it) - how could I dare to use some other browser...

But this does not say anything - the measured from different nodes in the US. What I wrote was that connections from Europe/Germany were lousy, and I'll leave it at that.
Back to holiday

Did you try that test with an actual topic link? Thirteen seconds to load this one.

firebat · Thu Nov 02, 2006 11:05 pm

It a little better than it was yesterday but it is still slow.

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here but something is not right. I'm keeping a second browser open to read the news while waiting.

watching the clock on my computer, about 12 seconds from click to this page opening. some times it's far worse.

I am actually "browsing" the forum with 2 browser windows at once, one to read/respond, and one to load what I'm going to read soon...

GotNet · Sat Nov 04, 2006 5:50 am

Moving *snappy* tonight!

Edit> Also a change for the better at some point: The forum remembers posts not read!

firebat · Sat Nov 04, 2006 6:18 am

Yes, its working good today.

GotNet · Sun Nov 05, 2006 1:19 am

Posted too soon - the rabbit is gone and the turtle is, is, is "Page cannot be displayed".

jo2jo · Sun Nov 05, 2006 2:14 am

thanks

BrianHiggins · Sun Nov 05, 2006 6:55 pm

seems fine to me now... no problems that I can tell...

jo2jo · Wed Nov 08, 2006 2:38 am

Last night (GMT+1 zone) the forum was horribly slow ...
seems as if it changed the server: ip: 12.22.39.145

Old ip was the same with http://www.mikrotik.com: 66.228.113.26

Still running slow - the reply icon took 55 seconds to appear. As I type here, there are 5 items remaining "Downloading picture forum.mikrotik.com/image..." Most pages don't completly load before reading the entire post and hitting "back".

dawam · Wed Nov 15, 2006 7:51 pm

works ok here GMT +8.

yes it was bad 1st week of Nov

changeip · Thu Nov 16, 2006 7:29 am

sadly enough the forums have been so intermittent this past week I've finally gotten a life and not logged on in a few days : ) Whatever is wrong might be a good thing for me : - )

PS - it took this page about 20 mins to come up.

practically impossible, we had a problem but that was a long time ago, nobody's complained since then. maybe you have some connection problems? other sites working well?

cmit · Thu Nov 16, 2006 10:17 am

Forum itself is pretty normal here, but some icons (especially the "new posts"/"no new posts" icons) take ages to load.

Acutally, I'm usually finished reading the whole topic before that load...

Best regards,
Christian Meis

freebird · Sun Nov 19, 2006 12:39 pm

OK, it's back online, after more than 24h offline duration ...

Anyone else been having forum issues in the last 24hrs? No page loads, blank pages, timeouts, etc...

I've had this problem since 2 years ago. anything odd? apparently mikrotik is even using proxy server for outbounding traffic !!!! they always do it for clients visiting web not web server serving global internet....

GotNet · Sun Nov 19, 2006 6:56 pm

"practically impossible" aside - Forum is working very well this morning.

jp · Mon Nov 20, 2006 6:37 pm

Forum, wiki, and routerboard site didn't work for me on Friday or Saturday. Didn't check it Sunday.

I was trying to get to the routerboard site to get product some detailed specs so I could order some stuff.

Seems we rely on these sites for documentation, it's pretty important. Mikrotik's website has been the least reliable (but perhaps most useful) of all the vendors I deal with.

Tue Nov 21, 2006 8:50 am

it was a dns issue, we are working hard with our internet providers to solve these issues.
