RWO site changes, bugs, disruptions thread

Sorry about the frequency and length of downtime. I have been regularly rebooting but mostly to little effect. The site seems to be behaving best from around 11am until mid-afternoon to early evening but after that it's a lottery.

I don't believe the fault is with the server host, or with the volume of traffic being too large for the capacity. Instead I suspect it's the forum software and or the database configuration that is working highly inefficiently and putting too much stress on the server capacity. But that's a guess only, and there's nothing I can do about it. I just have to keep on booting and hoping.

It might still be the host - do other users frequently report outages and needing to reboot?

Thanks for your efforts, liz.

If it's determined the issue could be fixed by some investment, I'd be happy to make a donation.

Ditto re donation.

Could archiving or deleting some very old threads/posts help with performance?

Smaller amount of indexing etc?

Yes, I don't think that there's been a fund-raising drive for a while, so I'm sure some of us could chip in a few dollars.

Wanted to see if anyone else is having an issue where RWO lets you log in - or stay logged in - on one device, but refuses to accept your password on another device? I even went to the point of changing my password on the one that worked, then tried to log in on another device using the new password, and it still went - nope.

would love to contribute and would love to buy some merch if Mods went down that path.

I'm enjoying the site functioning well again.

You spoke prematurely. I have no idea why the site behaved perfectly from Saturday evening until mid-Monday morning and has since gone haywire. No matter how often I reboot, it either has no effect or resuscitates for a short period before sinking back into a coma.

I better start the other games thread quickly, then.
