Why?

Why are the boards being shut down at 5? And how long will they be down?

Updating the servers to try to fix the slowness issues

They said the board would be down around 8 hours I believe.

Any one else finding the boards very slow this morning?

 

[WebmasterAlex]

As I said in the announcment we have some tuning to do once they come under load but they are way better now than an hour ago

Thanks Alex for working on the server and the boards.

They may have been slower this morning, but they are flying now!!!!

I'm no longer receiving email notification. Is that for everyone? I had this problem several years ago when you changed servers. MSN/hotmail blocked all Dis emails, but it did eventually get fixed. I wonder if this is the same issue or if it's for everyone.

Yes the speed is better but there are multiple reports of login problems. People are logging in and having other peoples ids show up.

Clearing your cookies will make the emails notifications come?

my cookies are fine and in fact I don't use any windows products or windows or at all. I am on linux and still every 10-15 minutes need to relog on.

I'm not getting my email notifications either, so it is not just you. I miss them!

Linux has cookies also

No it will help the log in issue

I assume the email notifications probably get rejected by lot of providers due to no reverse dns on the main disboards.com ip

Well no, initially it was because it wasn't even a legitimate address, now it's the reverse DNS but we are working on it

Fun Either way thanks for the hard work everyone has put into this, the results will be great I'm sure.
