    AnandTech's host is back offering a VERY HOT deal, $1 for 6-months of Web Hosting!

    Buyer beware for CookieHost. I've never heard of them, so I did a little digging. I find it odd that their WHOIS information is private, their SSL certificate is a low-level domain control validation certificate only, and I could not find their ToS/AUP without some serious digging. There is...

    Arbitrary (javascript) code injection allowed through profile page

    Hello all, it's a bit overdue that I'm posting to this thread, but I was made aware of the issue last week and we took care of it to the best of our ability. The code injection was corrected last week and there is no further risk for that happening. Security is of the utmost importance to me...

    DailyTech Article Pages Scroll SLOWLY

    As I posted here we replaced the firewalls for this problem.

    Forums were down

    We were migrating to new firewalls and ran into a small unexpected problem in doing so. That was my mistake. I apologize for the downtime. :)

    Dear Anand,

    We had some issues with the admin yesterday (as well as some other things on the backend). I can assure you any issues have not been network or bandwidth related though. Anand has *gigabits* of available throughput and we've yet to touch on the vast resources that are available. Problems that...

    Slooooow Page Load

    Alright, problems have been periodic and repeated as traffic overall has really been up on the sites. We're facing behind the scenes technical issues all over everything (not network though, just software related and/or hardware restrictions), so just so you know it's not forums or fusetalk...

    RTPE broken again?

    It's being escalated to the persons who handles these servers. We should have something soon..

    Is AT Going REALLY Slow For Anyone?

    mb, thanks. I replied too. I can confirm lately there's been no additional network issues, and since we have over a 99% success rate I can only assume it's software related. Some have mentioned Kaspersky/AVS as a culprit, I've also seen IPS systems and firewalls cause problems as well.

    Is AT Going REALLY Slow For Anyone?

    Today was an unusually busy day with 3x the normal load on the main site due to a few articles being released so that caused a few problems. That has also since been resolved. Network issues are clearing up and escalating these issues are helping, so keep the traces coming.

    Is AT Going REALLY Slow For Anyone?

    Thank you all for the info, you have been replied to accordingly. Most problems are in the Level3/GBLX network, however there have been repeated routing problems with Savvis as well. I have escalated these issues to NOC so they can contact the appropriate ISP's. Frankly, the Internet overall...

    Is AT Going REALLY Slow For Anyone?

    Alright, for those of you experiencing problems please PM me traceroutes to forums.anandtech.com and be sure to tell me YOUR IP as well so I can check the return paths. These problems will more than likely not be network related, but I want to rule that out. Thank you.

    Ooops! You encountered an error, we have let the webmaster know about the problem.

    This morning was just due to a DB server reboot, it wasn't related to the issues before. I just double checked and everything appears to be OK now. :)

    No more emails?? **FIXED**

    The overall 'health' of the forums is something that has not had a lot of attention on the software side of things for quite some time. I too have been promised this will be taken care of but it's out of my hands. I will look further into the Email issue however as that appears to be unrelated.

    when are you guys going to upgrade this forum?

    Well, I'm going to be working on the replacement servers. It's time to retire the old APPRO's as well as bring in yet another database server, so we have some beefy hardware to replace that with. These changes won't effect the frontend much at the moment, but it's paving the way for the future...

    Upgrade problems?

    Not sure what to tell you, I can't replicate the problem. We're not doing any additional upgrades at the moment though.

    when are you guys going to upgrade this forum?

    An upgrade is in the plans for the future, but as Duality mentioned it's pretty low on the list. There's a lot going on behind the scenes and we're working towards improvements, but it will happen.

    Forum outage - Nov 7, AM

    No, I'm not Jason Clark. That has been clarified in the past. He still posts under the same handle he always has. Although I cannot comment on the prices and reasons for choosing the forums software as I am not involved with that aspect of the business.

    Forum outage - Nov 7, AM

    Why it's never my fault! ;) Problems with specific ads or coding related issues I do not handle. As far as I'm aware, those various parties do perioridically check this forum for issues though. We are in the process of building new servers and will be doing some minor software upgrades along...

    Forum outage - Nov 7, AM

    We were performing an upgrade to software related to the ad servers and the new software had a small bug. It has since been fixed.

    Anand can you please install KILLER NICS in the forum servers?

    Jason's still around, but he's backed off some from his role(s) to focus more on the more important things in life. :)

    Anand can you please install KILLER NICS in the forum servers?

    That would yet again be another role, specifically the forum administrator (aka head moderator)

    Anand can you please install KILLER NICS in the forum servers?

    No, FuseTalk just happens to be the forums software we use.

    Anand can you please install KILLER NICS in the forum servers?

    Hi, I only administrate the servers and network, I do not administrate the applications, database, or do the coding. These requests would best be directed to the site administrator as you mentioned. :)

    The forum extremely slow?

    Hello everyone, we are aware of the problems and we are working towards their resolution. dynamic should be fine now, and we're still waiting on the report for labs/rtpe. Hopefully that will be finished soon. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.

    Forums SLOW

    We were experiencing the problems with the dynamic server over the weekend, although that has since been resolved. As far as I can see everything is running very smooth now.

    Ugh...what the heck is going on with the forums?

    We had a small problem with the dynamic server which required a reboot to the master db. All is well now.
