Now it is working.

Error connecting to mysql

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet but if you're accessing Specktra from a Google search, the page will take you to the index/blog rather than the thread. But if you just insert a 'forum/' after '.net' then it'll load up as normal. (Not with caps though which is odd.) HTH

I don't think your modem has anything to do with it actually. Personally, I have the most issues accessing this site during PEAK USAGE TIMES. I think there are probably load issues with this site. Too many people hitting the site at the same time. Did you guys share with your developers how many hits you get a day when you started planning your migration?
You probably need to upgrade your hosting

There are a mixture of issues, one is indeed that peak usage times thrash the hardware and cause mySQL errors. A few pages ago I stated I have procured new hardware, we will be making the migration once we're fully prepared so that we have as seamless experience as possible (minus the time it takes for DNS updates which will be out of our control).

If you've never had issues accessing Specktra before with that same modem then you really can eliminate that as a theory.
I do this for a living you can trust me on that.

excellent
you also might want to think about setting up a redundant site on another server. If for whatever reason your primary web server craps out you can set up an automatic cut-over. That way, there's minimal impact felt to your visitors.
Let me know if you need help at all. I can make some time for my fav message board.

issues with the new site
Hey! I've noticed that ever since the site changed over to the new format, i've been having a lot of problems! If i go back to a page i previously visted (even hours before) i always have to refresh it to see the new posts. I also had trouble getting into my inbox. It kept asking for my passowrd even though i was already signed in and i kept signing in but it wouldn't let me access it! That was last week and so far, eveything seems ok but then today when i tried to PM a member back, it brought me to google and it said this link appears to be broken! I tired about 5 more times to re-send the Pm and it finally worked! Anyone else encounter little bumps?
And thanks to all the mods who keep making Specktra better & better! Its my fave forum!

I'm not seeing any ads now either so thanks for sorting that out.
However, since the upgrade, I've been unable to access any Specktra pages at all from my work PC. I've cleared out my cache and cookies etc., refreshed pages endlessly, all to no avail. I get a network timeout error every time. My work PC is running Windows XP Professional and the same error occurs with Firefox, IE and Chrome. From what I've read in other MAC-related comunities, many others are having the same problem.
I assume at least in my case that it's unlikely to be related to peak usage times as I'm in the UK. Anyway, for whatever reason, I'm having no problems using Firefox on my laptop running Vista.

Re: issues with the new site
I wasn't having any major problems until today actually. (a few minor ones with pre-saved links and updates...nothing big) I can't access the sale/ISO forums at all. A friend of mine just posted her sale and wanted me to check it and it won't let me in to see her sale or to even see my own... Definately a bump! Hopefully everything will be up and running soon
I'm having withdrawl from one of my fav sites!!! <3

I haven't been able to access specktra for more than a week. I've tried everything including deleting cache & cookies, turning off my modem overnight, different browsers, changing my IP address, and still I can't access the site. I hooked up my bf's ps3 to my internet and it still won't work. I can access from my cell phone and from work though. Thank goodness I'm still logged into my username from my work because it won't let me log on through the cell phone. I have been spending every single lunch at my desk at work for the past week just to peep the newest threads. I can't wait till Specktra is up and running again for me.
