Title: Hosting Plan Change
Post by: Erik L on December 02, 2014, 02:57:25 PM
I initiated a change in hosting plan with the current provider. They will copy everything from the current domain and install it to the new server. This means that 1. Things posted after this may or may not make it to the new server. And 2. The site will not go down during the process.

Once I have an all clear from the host, I'll pass it on to you.

Thanks Erik for the heads up, and for trying to find a solution.

Just an FYI, it seems the change has gone through. I can't completely verify this since I'm at work, but the billing and emails I received all indicate it has been changed.

Well, not to dump cold water on this or anything, I'm glad it's working well for you. 

For me, I rebooted my system before checking this.  Other forums I frequent take 2-3 to 6-8 seconds between pages depending on the site.  Here it is very consistently a 30-second delay.  I'd like to hear from others what they are experiencing, maybe it's just on my end in which case I don't know what to do about it but that's better than it still being that slow for everybody obviously.

No improvement for me yet either.

It will take a couple of days for the DNS change to propagate through the internet. If you do a trace route to pentarch.org and reach lahut.lunarpages.com, that's the old version. If you reach creon.lunarpages.com, that's the new one.

Ah, that would explain why I didn't notice any change. Tracert still goes to lahut.lunarbreezes.com (216.97.225.50)

Seems like the posts of the last 9 days didn't make it though. Good thing I postponed making anything serious.

Maybe it's an effect of the Naughty/Nice list.  Do you know which one you're on?

Yeah still can't do it.
What's weird is that it's persistent across browsers and devices and hotspots. Doesn't work here or at work, doesn't work on my laptop or my desktop, doesn't work on chrome or firefox.

I might just create a new account. Or I'll just start posting everything on this thread.

"Forbidden

Looks like this:
(http://abload.de/img/whate7rqj.jpg)

I did not get this by starting a new thread by the way, but just by trying to reply to one. I am happy I could at least reply here for some reason, because otherwise I would have just fallen silent and vanished.

After just this text in a reply, I already got an error, not mentioning what was to come after:
...screw that, I cannot copy it in here without getting an error here too. Well, I can tell that the letter count was 2241 without text extras such as links quotes, or styles, so only the sign count seems to be what is too much. (former limit was 10k with clear mentioning that this was a limit, rather than just some error)

Update: It is not the sign count, as I experienced errors with smaller texts, but could post larger ones once the composition had changed. I was able to prevent an error window by removing some brackets like these (), but the symbol alone does not cause the error, as you can read this. The brackets appeared random in a stream of nonsensical signs, so I really cannot deduce any pattern.
Title: Re: Hosting Plan Change
Post by: Vandermeer on December 28, 2014, 11:35:47 AM
Yepp, so my newest and final results: This is completely redonkulous. There is literally no rule to when there is an error or not. It happens always at the same moments, but yet still somehow no pattern.
So I was replying to a message and updating the text by one additional word at a time to see when and what would cause an error. ...I got 3 words, and it would always bug out at that exact same position.
I just tried to put in a copy of that text here, but yes, it results in the above error, so here it is as picture:
(http://abload.de/img/benanntc0uy5.jpg)

If I wrote "from", error. If not, fine. There is no special sign, no function, style, or sign count. It just doesn't like this word. It is not that the word gets blacklisted though, nope. From from from. You can write that. Just in this constellation, it somehow causes an error after only 277 signs. If I write another word than "from" in the text above however, it works.
So, yes, redonkulous, and completely nonsensical.
Title: Re: Hosting Plan Change
Post by: Erik L on December 28, 2014, 11:56:10 AM
I've scoured the options and settings, and I can find nothing that would cause these issues.
Title: Re: Hosting Plan Change
Post by: Vandermeer on December 28, 2014, 12:16:11 PM
Hmm, it is definitely something here, because I do not have ever encountered problems like this, which includes of course the present of other places. Since Theodidactus saw the same error window once, there is some chance that his error was related to the same issue and only incidentally fell on new thread creation.(if this error is anything, then random :P)
So I challenge Theodidactus to copy this text and try to post it here.

Hopefully this gets through now. Piece by piece until there is an error.

Could you elaborate a little more on this? The eventual slowdown of the game is starting to get to me  :-\
[/quote]
Well, aside
Add "from", and see what explodes or not.


I also had the error when making my first report here btw., but I do not remember what caused it exactly, only that it had nothing to do with "from" and was slightly over 500 signs(/just to prove that this has no influence). I thought I could not write here again for some time before this was fixed.

Oh, so it applies to everyone it seems. Really weird problem with that there is no pattern, but just some unaccepted letter combinations or something like that.
@CharonJr : I also thought it was sign count at first, but tested around and then found the same thing. If I simply erased the word that was causing trouble after the above quote, I could continue writing no problem for quite some length. In another text then I could remove the blockade by just deleting some brackets "(" that were randomly placed in between nonsense.

"from" to this beginning we weave a stream of consciousness to attempt to break the forum in the manner than has so many users confuzzled. Even the red underlining of words poses no issues to the stream. There can be only one forum software that functions in the manner described. Maybe it is time to upgrade to SMF 2.0? Who knows? The Grinch certainly does not. Typing with one's eyes closed can lead to numerous typos if one does not know where to place ones fingers on the keyboard. Fortuitously I can type fortuitously with my eyes closed. There has not been any interruption in my stream. The words flow forth like the nasal drippings of a leaky nose (sorry for that visual, still a bit under the weather). And evidently "stull" is a word. Who knows what it means?

Do paragraphs have any impact on this? Not that I've seen. Nor can I find anything in the configurations that would cause these issues. Perchance I should look on the SMF forums to see if this is a known issue. Does formatting have any weight in the issue? None that I've seen. Who knows? Only the shadow knows. And he only talks to Kato. Who is on loan from the Green Hornet because Robin was busy tending to his recently laid egg. Now imagine how much more bizarre this post would be if I'd been imbibing Nyquil?

But obviously there has to be an additional trigger. If you take a look at my AAR text I had to split it pretty much right there, I could have added another word, but regardless what I would add after this I got the 404. But I think that some of my previous posts were longer as well.

Does it have something to do with using quotes ?
No, that isn't it. I had the problem with this post here in the middle where the weird signs started: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,7477.msg77455.html#msg77455 (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,7477.msg77455.html#msg77455)

+@CharonJr
This post is short. This post had no special formatting, and no quotes. There was nothing special about the post at all, yet still error. (smiley came in later btw.)

The thing is though that even when the error seem to be random, they are repeatable. If I still knew where exactly I placed those "(" brackets between this extra jumbo mumbojumbo, you would be able to reproduce that result when trying to post it too. So there must be a rule, but after all the testing I did, I can only conclude it is too complex and unforeseeable for humans.
Large posts only tend to look like they fabricate the problem, because through the laws of statistics it becomes of course much more likely to encounter the true error reason in a large text rather than a short one. It has nothing to do with length directly though.

It's intentionally scrambled Latin, used as filler text. It comes from a work called "De finibus bonorum et malorum" (On the ends of good and evil) by Cicero.

Have people seen the failure with freshly-typed text (i.e. no copy-pasting or quoting)?  If not, then my bet would be on a "hidden" (i.e. one that doesn't print in the GUI) character embedded in the corrupt block that's screwing things up....

If so, then "Never mind, ...."

This weekend, or tomorrow depending on how I feel, I'm going to just upgrade the board from 1.20 to 2.0. This will probably change the look and feel somewhat but should not affect the functionality.

Screw that, the error is still there. Just had a mere 3945 sign post give me the error on the last sentence here: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,7647.msg77592.html#msg77592 (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,7647.msg77592.html#msg77592)
There appear to be two cases of errors. Sometimes you just cannot write a certain word or rather sign for some reason, so you need to black that out and can continue as if nothing happened. I had however also two times now had the case where I literally could not write anything more after a certain point, no matter what it was. Has nothing to do with sign count again, as the other time this happened was with a 10k+ post.

...It could be though that maybe the " " free space sign was bugged in those instances, so it was only a different face of the same error, hmm.

[more errors :-X]

Post by: Vandermeer on January 07, 2015, 02:33:55 AM
Ok, I wanted to have a quote in the above post, but it would bug out yet again. Same when I instead tried to describe that something was blocking again.

Let's see how this fares in a new post:

No, I can pretty much disprove that, because when it came to figuring out where exactly the error in a given text was, I only copied up to the error producing sentence and then went word by word. Naturally, this is more easy to do by typing anew instead of copying, so this error indeed comes up every time you fresh type the very same constellation that lead to the error.


// Well, it worked. So it really is just the combination of signs in some way. The part here was causing a problem, but separated it works fine again.

That is bizarre. The only time I've seen anything remotely similar is when the video drivers need a serious update, or the card is about to implode.

It wouldn't surprise me if my card was about to kick the bucket, actually, It's probably unrelated :P

Something else odd is the spacing on periods.    I'm new to the forum so I may have missed a thread, but it seems to me that the boards are adding extra spaces after a period.    This post may even be an example. 

EDIT:  Aha, found it. . .  it seems to be an anti-spam feature in place, and until you have 10 posts you get the spacing issue.   This kinda sucks, because I started posting my story right away and it's been driving me nuts with the spacing issues.   I'll just have to find a way to get to 10 posts - legitimately - and then proceed from there.   :)
