Hey folks!

Just checking in on how things are for you. Things seem to be a bit faster on my end, but I am still seeing the forums go down a couple times a day (for about a minute) from all the spamming some of these bad IPs are doing. We are considering the possibility of adding a limit to the amount of actions per second users can do to help a bit as it seems some of these spammers are sending nearly a thousand requests within a few minutes. That said, we also don't want to limit all of your experiences either, though I doubt yall are clicking on links or posting as much as that.

In any case, hearing how your experience has been the past week would be great to hear if you have the time.

Thanks a ton everyone and sorry for any slowness you've been experiencing.

I'm honestly surprised any website or online service operates without rate limiting these days. Not that it really fixes the problem, just makes it less worse. Things have been alright on my end, still the rare "service is unavailable", but generally responsive and generally working fine.

Yeah, it's a lot more responsive now than it was. The forum's still eating the pets, uhm, posts, every now and then, but that'll probably never change. Not with this forum software at least.

Having timeouts again recently.

[LadyCrimson]

No timeouts but more frequent long page loading again.
Also, just got a "can't edit post because moved or it's been too long."  --- this was trying to edit a post 5 minutes later.  I assume that is not normal, even if there is still (no clue) an actual edit time limit.

Thanks, LadyCrimson. I will pass this feedback along.

I may have figured it out - it's a keyboard character issue. I think I recall something similar happening before for something.

That error happened again today. I sometimes separate thought/topic paragraph swings in longer posts with a line of "equal" signs. Sometimes I use a long line of "minus" signs instead, it's random/I'm strange. Anyway when it wouldn't let me edit, I removed the string of equal signs from the post and the edit went through vs. error message. Can't say for sure that's the problem ofc, or why a long line for them vs. only 1 might cause an issue -  so as usual ... *shrug*    At least I was able to make an edit.
