I have retired the Bug Report 2023 thread.
Please use this thread to report any new bugs.
The "Search within this topic/board" bug is a known issue beyond my control. It awaits a new version of the software.
I am getting this:
An error has occurred
The server is currently under high stress. Please try again shortly.
When I click on "Updated Topics"
I've received that message too.

p.s. All fine here today. :)
The Search Function isn't finding.
The forum is mighty slow this morning, at least for me!
It's definitely not just you. The server appears to be stressed out this morning.
Same here. :(

Wery slow forum here just now. I'm reminded of the old days. :)
I've let Rob know. Sometimes he gets busy, we might have to wait.
Rob is online now - so there is hope for us.
Quote from: DavidW on April 10, 2024, 12:11:09 PMSometimes he gets busy, we might have to wait.
Sometimes I'm asleep 😴 in a different timezone.
I checked the server status and it all looks ok. I tried a few things on the forum and everything seems pretty snappy at my end. I've just now rebooted the server (turn it off and on again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2FB1P_Mn8)) just to shake the cobwebs out of the system.
Is all happy good now?

Hi Rob,
Seems the same to me.
Maybe we need to clear cache or sign out/in to GMG?
It's still very slow in my end. Also sign-in is very slow.
Slow and buggy here, too. Wonky as.
No doubt it will resolve...
Here in Ohio USA things are S L O W.
In the Netherlands its also still slowwwwwwww ;D
I signed out some time ago and also frequently clean my cache; no difference there--as in still very slow. :( Nice idea though. :)
Seems back to normal now.
Thanks, Rob!!
Quote from: George on April 10, 2024, 06:14:21 PMSeems back to normal now.

Not for me. Every page has been loadly less quickly tonight.
At the bottom of the page, there is a display showing how fast the page was loaded. Can those of you having slowness issue post the page-creation times?

This is what showed just now for me: Page created in 0.114 seconds with 20 queries.
Thank you, Rob! :)
PD
Right now in the European morning (9:30 am CEST) it's working perfectly (no delays, as opposed to yesterday evening when things were very slow).
Best,
Yep, it's back to the normal speed. Thanks Rob. Appreciated!
Starting to seem slow again. When I loaded the main page the bottom line said:

This day started for hours with GMG being unreachable, which started in the middle of the night. I could not sleep so went on line. GMG would pop up from time to time, but loading slowly like yesterday. Server seems to be stressed. The problem is not over yet, alas.
Yes, very slow just now.
Ditto. :(
Very slow here too.

It's getting better, but not constantly.

I shall delve deep into the server health and settings.
Are notifications broken as well? People are doing stuff to me ( :laugh: ) that should give me notification alerts.
Server relatively slow here today.

Yes, its Ups and Downs.
Notifications are working for me now.
Slooooow when posting, but for browsing it's mostly fast (under .5 seconds to load.)
OK I have done some investigating. The site is under attack from bots, one of them from China requesting hundreds of pages every minute. These bots are automated web trawlers, not necessarily malicious, they are often just scanning pages for content for search indexes, or other reasons. But they slow the legitimate access to the forum considerably.
I am going to learn how to block them at a server level. First bit of code initiated, please let me know if you notice any difference.
cheers

Maybe they are collecting a training set for an AI chatbot. If so if anyone asks it to name the best composer ever it will confidently reply Havergal Brian.
Page created in 3.735 seconds with 36 queries.
One could say that it is slow, very much so. Those Bots are quite aggressive.
I was having a slow time of it around the same time as Harry. Though several hours later it seems to be back to normal speed.
Wow, its lagging now big time. When I click on an email link, I get a black screen first, and 4 or 5 seconds later the page appears. Posting takes even longer.....
Page created in 3.529 seconds with 32 queries.
It takes ages before the Likes appear. This morning I tried to find those that were liked, but non of them showed it. I takes about 20-40 seconds to load a page, and had cases that it took a full minute or more. Those Bots are a aggressive bunch of Toadheads. I had a similar attack of my system 6 months ago, so I know what havoc it creates.
Page created in 1.341 seconds with 20 queries.
This is incorrect. I used my own chronometer and it showed 5.06 seconds.

@Dungeon Master What about installing one of those "Prove that you are not a bot" guards that one has to do before they can access the website? Too expensive or complicated to set up? And how effective are they?
Just a thought. :)
PD
Quite slow here this morning (10:48 EDT in US). A good 5 seconds executing any command, whether moving to a new page or simply clicking the "Like" button.
Adding my appreciation for Rob's work, vanquishing all these bots!

I hope they are benign and not some sort of malicious attack. If they are really spiders creating an index, would it take this long for them to download the entire contents of the site for their index? On the other hand, what could an malicious actor want from this site? To gain unauthorized access to our preference for Bruckner symphonies? :)
Site seems uniformly slow at this point, requiring several seconds for a like to be registered, for quoted text to appear, to view a listing.
It's a trivial data point, but when hitting "Like," normally the site's response is instantaneous, but of late it's consistently disinstantaneous.

The War of the Tintagels, aka the GMG Civil War, is the longest flame war in history. It started in 2024 and is still being fought today. It took the lives of 17,685,432 pages and still counting. ;D

lol No, what I was thinking about (and I should have stated) was that people be required to login...as in become a member in order to have access to the forum. And have it so that one would have to prove that they were a human (so to speak) in order to register (and perhaps for subsequent logins? That might be a bit too much though.). Sorry, but I had thought that the unsaid part of this was obvious, but it wasn't. :-[

Requiring people to be logged in to view the forum would make it difficult to attract potential new members to the site.
I wonder if the site software has features that can be activated to block this sort of thing. Refusing to accept a request from a given address until a fixed time has passed since the previous request (a second or two) would throttle it.

Your first comment had also crossed my mind...wondering how much it might deter people. We classical music lovers are a determined group however! 8) ;)
Your second point is an interesting one. Also, is there a way to block downloading of pages/topics/threads? Would that be possible? Just throwing out some ideas.

I seem to remember on a different classical music site I would occasionally be told that I had to wait a few seconds before hitting like, or something similar.

I have added some bot-removal filters at a server level. Let me know if things continue to run smoothly, or if we run into any more molasses.
I'm more than happy to get positive feedback as well as negative, so I know I'm doing the right thing. Let me know if the forum is running fast for you. It has always run fast for me, but I'm in a different time zone, and I suspect my browsing doesn't coincide with peak traffic times.
It's running pretty well here. Thanks for your always valuable help.
Page created in .085 seconds!
Performing well, pages around 0.1s :D .
Back to normal here as well. Thank you, Rob!
Pretty nippy here. Thanks a lot, Rob!
Speedy and smooth sailing here, Rob! A big thanks!
PD
Back to normal, page generation time typically 0.1 sec or less.
Agreed (0.072 seconds just now) - very cool that those filters seem to be holding up so well. But we are smarter than the bots...for now...I hope.

Rather slow just now. Even logging on and off takes some time.
I notice that a lot of the guests look at members profiles. How is this possible? If I access the forum as a guest I'm not allowed to se any members profiles.
Taking about 5 seconds to load, even for only browsing.
(I counted 5 seconds, but bottom of page reads - Page created in 1.804 seconds with 30 queries.)
Not sure why the timing is so different, but it definitely took between 4 and 5 seconds just to load this page.

The timing is for "page generated." There may be other operations necessary before the page appears on your browser. For instance, if the server is overloaded it may take some time before the page request from your browser is recognized by the server.

Perhaps the server script counts unsuccessful attempts to see profiles the same as successful one?
Slow here at this end. Wonder whether or not that might have more to do with the time of day?
PD
Similar to everyone else: it was going swimmingly the last couple of days, and has slowed down significantly in recent hours. It's definitely not AS slow as on some previous occasions, but the delay is definitely there.
Just when I was about to add another "it's slow" comment, suddenly the board is back to its faster speed. (8:07 pm, EDT)
No idea, but thanks for whatever you're doing, Rob.
-Bruce
Slow again here sadly.
Right now (10:30 PM EDT)it's not as slow as it was this afternoon but it's slower than before the bot attacks.
Slow again. 1.7 sec page creation time.
Slow again at 11pm EST.

1.1s for this page.
Quote from: JBS on April 23, 2024, 01:00:09 PMPerhaps the server script counts unsuccessful attempts to see profiles the same as successful one?
It seems unusual that a disproportionately large number of guests are viewing member profiles. It gives me the impression that there may be something suspicious happening.
Site rather logy at present.
Working flawlessly now.

The posts are in the Mozart and Favorite Tchaikovsky Symphony threads. I read them, thought "I'd like to reply to that one," maybe I just searched poorly for them at first, on my laptop. These days, though, I don't absolutely rule out garden-variety confusion on my part.

If he creates an account, one of us will approve him for sure.
It does seem like Rob problem however... but I would say in the meantime, Bachtoven should try clearing his cache or try another browser.

Yes he has given me his reasons in PM conversations, I've communicated with him for years. Regardless he would like an account again and it appears to be a general bug as when I tried logging out and creating an account I got the same error.

Important information, this problem would prevent GMG from getting any new members, and people who are blocked from joining have no way to repair the problem (unless they have an acquaintance on GMG).

@Dungeon Master as it appears from the member list that we have not had a single new member join since April 12 (23 days ago). Unfortunately there is a possibility that the anti-bot filter measures Rob implemented on April 14 may be related - although I am only guessing based on timeframe. It could certainly be a coincidence.

It could certainly be a coincidence.
Hmmm...As someone who has and wanted to be a member of the forum (or using other sites) sometimes has had problems...occasionally, I've had a hard time deciphering the "Captcha" writing. Perhaps it's that? Just a thought.
PD
There is a reCaptcha anti-spam system working in the background when people try to register. I looks like version 3 of reCaptcha no longer works. I have now changed it to V2. Tested and working fine for me. Lets see if we get new registrations.
Yes, it worked! :)

Rob, you are the best!

Won't you stay a little longer....... ;D
Seven more new users signed up in the last eight hours. It looks like they might all be spambots, but it clearly shows there was a pent-up demand over the last few weeks! ;D

Oh you have no idea! We (the mods) see bots on a nearly daily basis.
