Hi everyone,

We've had it before, and it was fixed,

Also I couldn't get into the Board Announcements section,
where this should have been posted!!

Hi Bill,

Got that, I've sent Kevin all the information,
regarding both the Bad Thread, and the error problem,

Best Wishes,

I've been getting that top message aswell, a few times in the last dayt or two.

Hi guys,

There has been a rash of these trolls that have joined to only post there garbage. This has caused me to moderate the sign up process. This will give me the chance to review all ne sign ups before their allowed to join the site.

EDIT: Some tweaking was done to the database so hopefully the error messages go away.

Hi Kevin

I have had quite a few problems with this site today, on several occassions when I tried to access it, I was confronted with the following error message.

IPB WARNING [2] mysql_connect(): Too many connections (Line: 115 of /ips_kernel/class_db_mysql.php)

In addition to this every time I leave this site and come back to it, I am logged out and subsequently have to log back in again, even though I have selected the tick box which states 'remember me'. This is the only site where this happens,

Thanks
Robbie

Hi Robbie

Hi Arther

The site has been in real disarray today for some reason (I hope its not hackers again).

Another problem that has confronted me several times now is that upon loading up dukewayne.com the page is too wide and it take a while for it to revert back to normal size.

Im not quite sure what the problems are but hopefully they can be fixed.

Hi,

It appears to be the same problem as we had last week.
as per the link below


Technical Problems

Hi Keith

Thanks for pointing out that link and if its the same problem again then I afraid that trolls are to blame. Its a shame that these people can disrupt things so much, is there anything that can prevent or minimise their disruption in the future?

Hi Robbie,

This happened a few months ago, same error message etc.
At that time we were not experiencing any 'trolls' etc.

The bad threads, that we experienced last week, have been eliminated
mainly due to the measures, Kevin has installed at registration.

I'm on-line, all day (UK) time, most days,
and I haven't seen a violation since.
I think, therefore, it may be technical, rather
than 'trollable', if you see what I mean

I know Kevin, is aware of it.

Cheers Robbie

[Kevin]

Hi Guys,

The issue we are experiencing is server related again. Hopefully things will settle out soon.

[Robbie]

I'm glad its not trolls this time.

[Kevin]

No trolls, well no trolls are being allowed to join. I'm currently screening new signups for possible trollers. And if I'm satisfied that the user is legit then I approve them. But there is a possibility that one could slip thru...

[erthomp143]

I think the ones we have been hit with lately are bots, it is not a real person sitting there filling these out.So adding the extra step of approving the signup should stop them.
