CF Issues 23/8/08

[Mick]

CF Seems to be suffering from some Database issues at the moment.

Normal service will be resumed ASAP. :)

[Kymmy]

Thanks Mick,

FYI: Before it went down the threads were there just no post data within them

[bill c]

Hope its fixed soon. :) Cannot go without my daily fix on CF :)

[Ramrod]

Indeed....:)

[Zee]

yeah hope its back soon

[druchii]

Hope it's back soon.

Saw last night compression issues with some thread (Gzip malfunctioning.)

[Alien]

Figures, I have a happy thought to post, instead of just a response to someone else's, & CF goes down. :rolleyes:

[dilligaf1701]

Yup - it all went off while I was posting something...

Well at least I get to use an avatar for a change :)

[Zhadnost]

At least we know who to blame then :)

[joglynne]

Hope the problems are resolved soon, I have one early night and everything goes to pieces.

Seems strange being on here and not posting about spam on toast. :)

Oh, and while this forum is open, and if anyone can spare the time, could someone remove my negative rep. Having a red reputation is somewhat disconcerting.

Go on then, tell the select few what it is... :D

Update: The Database issue remains unresolved - Unfortunately the main CF site will be down for a bit until this is resolved.

Good luck - system problems are a beyatch.....

[joglynne]

Thanks to the 2 of you who have tried to restore my good name, but, I still have -14 points.

At least that's an improvement on my original -35. Just goes to show how difficult it is to live down a bad reputation. :D

They are when the main server tech head is away for the weekend. Unless Frank appears, CF may be closed until Monday.

Actually discussing reps is a no-no. Might have to start handing out infractions for touting for them. :D

Hearing that CF may be down for a few days has kinda dented my mood. I just got some new computer bits, that's all.

Back to green. :D Names don't show so you are anonymous doners, so thanks who ever is rep'ing me. Despite the official line. :D

@ Alien. What bits? We can give you an ooooh and aaaaah to be going on with.

3 whole days without CF :eek:

I think some-one should volunteer to go out to Canada & get Frank ;)

Sure, you can go if you wish too, as long as you don;t mind travelling via UPS ;)

I will fit in quite a small parcel - just don't tell Mrs Gaz how to log into the tracking system ;) :p

Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe motherboard (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-254-AS)

PowerColor ATI Radeon HD 3870 XT Extreme 512MB GDDR4 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-079-PC)

LiteON LH-20A1L-14C 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter (Black) - Retail (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-083-LO)

& a 4GB flash/thumb drive [figured it was about time I got 1 :D], & a couple of power cables [1 SATA & 1 PCI-E].

The new motherboard should give me a bit of a performance improvement, as it will allow me to set the voltage properly for my RAM [current board just has Auto, high, & ultra, & I'm not willing to try the other 2 without knowing what they actually correspond to - it doesn't even list memory voltage in power monitoring], as it won't run at the proper settings without more than 1.8v [1.8v is like a default standard for DDR2 RAM, but faster/higher performance RAM usually wants more voltage].

Side note for Zingle [& any other techies]: it's DDR2 800, but it's running at 5-5-5-18 timings, instead of 4-4-4-12. I can manually set the timings, but with the default vaultage it becomes unstable.

Also, current motherboard only supports SATA 150 speed, & only has 2 ports, compared to 6 SATA 300 ports on the new board, so I'll be able to have My OS on 1 drive, swap file on another, & temp/internet cache files on a 3rd, which should make my system a bit quicker [hopefully].

If its geil it needs 2.1 volt

Evening all. Everyone handling the cold turkey ok? :D
