Looks like the second link is just redirecting back to the mod panel.

Interesting. I am able to replicate the problem. I am currently unable to resolve the issue. I'll have to keep working on it over next couple of days. It's a different problem from the typical issue that causes the Kremzeeks. It could be an error in code somewhere or a special character in the user's post or something that is breaking the phpBB code. I'm not certain at the moment but will continue working on it.

Deleting the user and their posts should fix it.

The problem was that we were unable to delete the user or the posts. None of the administrative tools were working.

After doing some code tracing throughout phpBB, I isolated the problem. Somehow one of the phpbb reporting database tables didn't make it to the new server. I restored the table from one of early last week's backups and all is working.

Now I have to figure out how to restore First-Aid's user account which I accidentally deleted when I was cleaning up some spam bots in General Discussion. Always something!

The site is being a bit slow today, with some pages either taking much longer to load than normal, while others just don't load and instead lead to "502 Bad Gateway" warnings, forcing me to reload them.

No Kreemzeeking, at least, so it isn't that.

EDIT: I literally just got a "502 Bad Gateway" warning while trying to make this very post.

I'm getting lots of slowness and 502 Bad Gateway errors too. I also got a 404 error every time I tried using the main and "First unread" links to go to this post; I had to use the direct link instead. So it seems like the "First unread" thing is acting up as well.

EDIT: And the site actually did briefly Kremzeek on me yesterday.

Just had some major Kremzeeking on Page 2 of the new Generations Prime thread, when trying to either quote another user's post, make a new post of my own, or even just trying to load the page.

And only on my laptop, too. It got so bad I had to switch to my phone in order to confirm if my post went through or not (it did, thankfully, despite the Kremzeeking).

Which post specifically were you trying to quote? Maybe the post had a special character in it that the server didn't like. Everything seems good on my end with the server at the moment.

Getting quite a few "Too many connections" DB server Kremzeeks today.
Encountered mostly on main forum pages, also on HMW at one point.

[Seibertron]

Thanks for letting me know. Looks like the DB server is running a very high load avergage. I cleared out a few database tables and rebooted the DB server. Monitoring it. Load average went down from 48 to 24 but still very high.

Yeah, yesterday evening, there was a period where I couldn't even go to the site at all for at least an hour.

Just got a 503 trying to post in the TF:One topic, couldn't load the rest of the site either.

Got to work this morning and it seems like it's still experiencing some problems. I'm running some maintenance commands right now and making a few adjustments to server settings at the moment.

Site was down for past 30 minutes while it optimized the massive forum posts database table.

A minor issue has occurred over the past few days. I've been having to login each time I come to visit the site for the first time each day, despite having not logged out at any point prior and having had the "Keep me signed in" checkbox checked each time. I just now had to login again in order to make this post.

Of note, it's mostly happened on my laptop rather than on my phone. I think it's happened only once on my phone, while the other times were all on my laptop.

It sounds like a problem with your browser. I would recommend clearing the cache and cookies for seibertron.com in your browser, closing out your browser and trying again.

For the past hour, I kept getting a "503 Service Unavailable" Kremzeek message when trying to make a post in this thread. The problem seems to have passed now, as I was finally able to successfully post in it without issue. But the fact that it occurred at all I felt was worth reporting.

Boosting this bug report from the HMW forum in case it's missed there:
hmw-bug-reporting-thread-p2184894.php#p2184892

Seems like we can't buy armor for our bots anymore. The result comes back "Invalid"

From what checks I've been able to do in userland, my guess is that something happened either to the Armor table data or with the armor_id variable being passed in from the armor.php form?

[Red Sentinel]

I know this has been posted everywhere (although I'm hoping the squeaky cog can get the grease), but is there anything that can be done about the armor purchase issue?

[Seibertron]

OK. Is there armor available now?

[Red Sentinel]

Not at this time- it still says "an invalid armor identifier was given".

[Seibertron]

Not at this time- it still says "an invalid armor identifier was given".

I'll have to look at the code to figure out why tomorrow. I thought adding quantities back would fix it but apparently there is another issue.

[Glyph]

I'd be happy to look at it.

Anyone else having a lot of trouble with the site lately - last week or so?

I keep getting really slow page loads - especially on the forums - plus Kremzeeks and upstream server errors referencing the database connection that don't even make it to the Kremzeek page. I don't know if it's just the times I happen to be on, but haven't really been able to correlate to any particular times of day atm (though early afternoon GMT is often pretty bad).

Yeah, it was really sluggish for a few days last week for me, and then barely useable over the weekend. Seems better now.

Just now it kept crashing for me. Took me forever to reach this page.
