Re: The General Chat thread

In addition to the visual upgrade, the forums were moved to a newer version of phpBB. You might notice a number of small functional differences.

Re: Need some Help with Desert Bus Chat

Your IP isn't being blocked on our side, so my guess is that it's being blocked on your end. Are you connecting on a public (e.g. coffee shop) or shared (e.g. university) connection?

Have you tried an IRC service like Mibbit? https://client00.chat.mibbit.com/?serve ... =desertbus

Re: Need some Help with Desert Bus Chat

These connection errors don't have anything to do with your username. It's not even connecting to the server. I can't see what's on the images, so I need a clearer picture and probably your IP address (whatismyip.com). Private message me your IP. **DO NOT POST IT IN THIS THREAD**

Re: CloudFlare

No, this has nothing to do with the wiki slowness. MediaWiki is just a resource hog.

Re: CloudFlare

You can't change the design very much on the free account. You can change some of the blocks of text and the colouring, but that's about it. Graham: Just changing the colouring to LRR colours might be enough. There's an interface to change that stuff in the CloudFlare account. I've also dropped the ...

Re: CloudFlare

That page is to fight spammers, of which there are a lot on these forums. If you don't leave a message, I don't know which one is you (or another human) and I can't whitelist you. Maybe we can lighten the security at a later stage to reduce the false-positives, but until then, follow the instruction...

Server was thrashing. I'm looking into why, and taking corrective action.

Re: CloudFlare

Hopefully this move will also lead to a decrease in forum spam. CloudFlare filters out a lot of spammers and botnets automatically. Post here if you do/don't notice a decrease in forum spam so that I can monitor CF's effectiveness with the current security settings.

This was an issue on our side after some program recompiling and other configuration changes on the server. It has now been fixed and tested, but please let us know if you are still having problems with this.

I've tweaked a large number of Apache settings, as well as general memory settings. I think I've got it this time (famous last words, right?) Let me know if you encounter any more of these errors. Also let me know if you DON'T encounter any after a suitable period of time, so that we can put this to...

Re: General site craziness

Hi all. I've just been made aware of the issue. From your descriptions, it sounds like it might just be the memory allocation for PHP being too low. I've increased it, so hopefully that will fix any problems. What I can tell you is that the server hardware/bandwidth isn't the issue as there are more...
