i get that alot too

 

haha. the saddest part for me is that the same thing happened to me. It kinda stings

 

Yea, I was expecting a little more of an explanation...

 

I'm sure that once they figure out what they did that caused the problems, Adrian will give a much better explanation of what the problems were.

For now it appears they are still trying to figure out what caused the problems.

At least we are back "on-the-air", even if we are running unbelievably slowly at times.

Hang in there.

 

yeah atleast now its actually letting u on the site and let u view threads. posting is a tad bit slow and every now and again i still get PHbb error yada yada. hopefully this will all be done soon!

 

Well there were a number of concerns, we found the main culprit which was a script that was causing corruptions in the database.

This was doing a couple of things, one, generating the php errors you were seeing, but also it was overloading the database and causing the slow load times.

We are 99% certain that the issues (both this script and a couple of other concerns) have been rectified, and our monitoring of loading pages on the site from various locations indicate the page load speed should be good.

Let us know if thats not the case in your part of the world and we will investigate further.

Our apologizes for the inconvenience.

If you don't mind me asking - when did you get the last PHP error?
Thanks!
Adrian

 

I got the PHP error once today, the site seems to work just fine during the day but once it later it starts to have problems. Last night around 10 pm eastern time it started messing up a lot

 

Adrian, was that problem "script" something surreptitiously placed by an unknown, or was that script something purposely added by Internet Brands for some purpose?

If so, what was the purpose?
How long ago was it added?
Was it one of the doubleclick, jbrlsr, postrelase, or analytics scripts?

ok - let me know if you have the same problems again - the issues around 10pm last night are when we finally fixed the problem we found.From what I understand (bear in mind I am not a tech person here) is that the script existed on the server was associated to another site hosted on the same server and specifically associated with the search function on this other site.
It wasn't associated with Scionlife, but for some reason it was causing a corruption with phpBB.

 

Worked fine tonight, was slow a couple of time but havent had any problems.

 

seemed to be working fine tonite atleast its letting u on the site unlike 2 days ago. last PHP error i received was maybe this morning once and its been pretty fine since then

 

Still seems to be working. Slow sometimes, but for the most part it is better than it has been for at least a month.

Wonder what in all they've done besides kill that script they installed on the server that was eating us alive?
