    The site hardly even loads today, at least for me. Also, I'm seeing ad codes all over the screen instead of ads. Strange.

    No problem for me today, but then I block all ads.

    I've got Safari set to block the popups...maybe it's something else? I only deal with computers at the user level, so I'll have to plead ignorance. Something's not working right. :rolleyes:

    edit: Here's what I see on this page, for instance: \r\n\r\nvar _ifid = Math.floor( Math.random() * 100 );document.write(""); try{var ifr = document.getElementById("_cwif"+_ifid);doc = ifr.contentDocument;doc.writeln("");var f = doc.getElementById('_cwsf1');f.method = 'POST';f.action = "http://tag.contextweb.com/TagPublish/sc.aspx?cs=504693_4_25748%40EMPTY%40.contextweb.com%4005%2F26%2F2011%40%252F*504693_4_25748%401306441232671%40.contextweb.com%4005%2F26%2F2011%40%252F*V%402y8YVXOfu3dh%40.contextweb.com%4006%2F07%2F2011%40%252F*vf%401%40.contextweb.com%4005%2F27%2F2011%40%252F";f.submit();} catch(e) {}

    The turtle glitch is gone, but the ad codes are still a mess.

    i noticed the other day, the last thing i was surfing for showed up as an ad at the top of prius chat when i went to the site. these advertisers are getting trickier and trickier.

    I got some malware from PriusChat recently...like on Tuesday? Possible that slow forum could be related? Don't know, just wondering...

    I hit a period of slowness again at ~1:35 am Pacific time. It took >5 minutes after I posted a reply for control to return and for me to be able to see my post.

    I had turned the nightly backup cron back on (it starts around 1am Pacific). I just turned off the nightly and changed it to weekly since I'm now using Jungledisk to backup incremental changes on the site every 6 hours. Let me know if it happens again to you.

    Thanks! I think the prob if it being slow around 1 am Pacific is fixed.

    However, I just had a bought of slowness when posting (~4:14 pm Pacific). It doesn't appear to be my net connection as other sites are quick in loading.

    I also have trouble logging on.
    I have not trouble with any other sites.
    What's going on?

    Priuschat was virtually unreachable at around 1:50 pm to 2:10 pm Pacific time or so. It seemed to be responding to pings w/o packet loss but if I did a telnet www.prisuchat.com 80 and sent a GET /, there'd be no response. I eventually errors from my browsers but later eventually got "fixed".

    Priuschat became VERY slow around ~12:45 am Pacific on 8/20 (Saturday morning/Friday morning). I had a reply take FOREVER to return and I received a "Page not found error" but with Priuschat banner and graphics surrounding it. Some of my attempts to visit other pages on Priuschat also eventually timed out w/the same prob.

    Is this the weekly cron job? Can it be dialed down a bit in terms of the impact to the site?

    At about 1:25 am Pacific, one of my post attempts timed out and in one of my tabs, when trying to view an area, I even got a database error page.

    Slow? You mean like - this post I'm making? ... which began 3 or 4 minutes ago? Even though our cable downloads at 20megs/second right now? Yep - I feel your pain my brawthaw ... it's like going back to 1987 on dialup 24k baud modum. All I'm missing is the, "koooaah eeee aaaahh bremmmm bremmm sounds.

    It seemed very slow today (9/23) around 11:45 am to noon-ish Pacific time. Was it just me? It seemed I was able to visit other sites w/o issue.
