whenever i do searches it always times out...
i dont know if this is becuase of my browser or that i use a macintosh (ox) but its really a problem because it makes it so incredibly difficult when i try and take other sages advice and try to search for certain bits of lore buried deep in say Eds threads...
i can soemtiems search when i select "match any of the words" but idk
any help?
btw im computer illiterate so i dont know if i can really describe the problem well.

| This has been a problem for quite some time; I'd suggest using Google to search the forums by appending site:candlekeep.com/forum/ to the end of a Google search. |

Well met
Indeed, uncannily myself and the Sage have been in discussions only recently. I can only apologise for the inconvenience for now. Try refining searches if ye can. The database is getting quite large these days, mayhaps some archiving is in order. |

Strange events happened today when I was roaming this forum, when I clicked on the Chamber of Sages Icon, the whole page changed into a blank page with two big words "Server Unavailable" and it happened again when I tried the Realm Events Icon. I swear it is true and I am not lying about this.
Also, when I tried to refresh the webpage, the message appeared:
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/forum/default.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.
Strange, did anyone got this?

We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

| Shadovar, I also encountered those words "Server Unavailable" and worse, when I exited the forum and tried re-entering the forum webpage again, the message was simply "The page cannot be found". |

Aye,
I got this as well. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Yes, I've received the same message a number of times actually, since yesterday afternoon (my time) in fact. And early this morning (around 1:00 am), again my time, the entire forum was unavailable for just over half-an-hour.
I'm assuming our nasty little server bug is making its presence known again here at Candlekeep.

I was getting that error, too. I first got it at around 12:50 PM Eastern, and then kept getting it every few minutes for a half-hour or so. |

Yup. Four times in the last 15 minutes. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

On the "search" topic, while I know we may have gotten to the point to where we just have a bazillion posts to search through and that has speared our ability to do it, I think the search function is an important thing to have working, if only because I think we have had several topics come up, over and over again, that may have just turned into a conituation of older topics if the search was done, or perhaps would not have been posted if the established thoughts of some of the regulars were already displayed from earlier threads.
Just a thought, and I know that this is a problem that is being worked on. |
