New Posts and Search Engine is disabled!

[mol]

Folks, the search indexing has been running for, what, 11 hours now...and it is on post 290161 out of over 2 million posts. Hehe. Hopefully this will make the index job go faster ans help from slowing down MW.

I am sorry for the inconvenience. As soon as the job has stopped I will re-enable everything and send out an email telling everyone.

If someone says something about the search and stuff not working....direct them here. =] Sorry!

Back to code!

[Infinite Grey]

cool! So I'm not insane after all!

[mol]

cool! So I'm not insane after all!
Nope. Night all. Hopefully the job will be finished by morning.

[DragonsChest]

cool! So I'm not insane after all!

Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say that!!! :hahugh:

[Shanti]

Ok, I'm not nuts either! LOL

Yes. Must have bombed while I was asleep. Just started it running again and it is on post 360996. Bleh. I will watch it like a hawk. It will finish today. Sorry, folks.

Your av made me laugh. :)

Thanks mol!

Thanks mol!
Why? Cause I am ugly or because I look perplexed?

[mol]

Boom! It just totally bombed. I have to start all over. Sorry folks.

[DragonsChest]

Why? Cause I am ugly or because I look perplexed?

You've got a kinda "rut roh, Shaggy" look on your face. :hehehehe:

[KiNoRonin]

I hope you dont hit the wrong button and erase the whole message board like what happened to the Druid's Head Pub message board of Druidry.org about a month ago.

They set out to do some modifications to their message board when the hit the wrong code and the whole message board Crashed!

A lot of People's Writings and Postings got lost forever!

KNR

[Kalika]

Why? Cause I am ugly or because I look perplexed?

Because you just have this goofy look on your face... that is rarely caught on camera. :D

[mol]

You've got a kinda "rut roh, Shaggy" look on your face. :hehehehe:

Well, that's the way I feel right now.

KiNo: Impossible. It's called offsite backups. =]

Kal: GEBS catches some really goofy looks.

So, folks, the reason the database reindex bombed because it came upon a post by Staryy DI a long time ago that was nothing but that damn :boing: . Thousands of them. So, therefore, I am going to put a limit to the amount of smilies that can be in one post.

SO, here we go again. Prepare for slowness. Yay.

[Lucidia]

yay for slowness!!!

[GEBS]

Kal: GEBS catches some really goofy looks.


That one was not my fault. It was the sun. It was so bright I couldn't even see what you looked like. I could hardly keep my eyes open that day! :sunny:

[mol]

yay for slowness!!!
It's actually not that bad. Seems to be moving ok. I didn't have to start from scratch. I was able to remove that post with all the smilies and start from there.

GEBS: =] I know, sweetheart!

[RavensEye]

Staryy DI a long time ago that was nothing but that damn :boing: . Thousands of them. So, therefore, I am going to put a limit to the amount of smilies that can be in one post.

Now you know why I use text smilies! =]

[GEBS]

yazzir! we just need to synchronize our watches . . . :D
Cat, I need to review that last PM. We'll make plans very soon. I can't wait to see you again. It's been waaaaay too long! Even if we can't do any of the things suggested we can always meet for dinner until we can make better plans.

[mol]

Update: We are processing at post #659944

=]

[Pesha]

OK! So that is why suddenly I went a blewy and could not go to either MW. Sheesh.......Boss will it ever end?? LOL.

[Lunacie]

Ooooh, I remember the post with the million bouncing smilies. It was hilarious...




then.

Now... it's not quite so funny.
Gods, this is like waiting for a really small processor on a dial-up connection!

[Tzhebee]

I NEED my new posts button! I *need* it...I'm so lost without it.... :( *whimper* Please make it work mol-man-boss-sir. :sadeyes:

[Evelline]

I know, I hjave the same feeling. Let's just wait though.

[mol]

OK! So that is why suddenly I went a blewy and could not go to either MW. Sheesh.......Boss will it ever end?? LOL.

Yup. It will. But, it's going to last well into tomorrow. It blew up again on a big smilie post.

Lunacie: Now you are feeling my pain.

Tz: I know....I am lost without it, too.

Eve: It will be back as soon as I can get it back up. Promise.

[Flaire]

Ooooh, I remember the post with the million bouncing smilies. It was hilarious...



Ew. That was the browser crasher. :ack:

Um, wait a min... why am I channeling my father? He's still alive, eh?

[mol]

We are at: 821362

[Alkhemia]

I guess I am now proof positive that it pays to actually read the stuff in the announcements forum. Heh heh :-)

Earlier today, I spent about 10 minutes looking at my monitor and wondering if I was going blind or crazy because I couldn't find the search function. Now, I have a certain satisfaction in the knowledge that I am neither blind nor insane. :clapping:

[mol]

Where are we at: 881752

I take it that's good? :hahugh:

Sleepy time. Must take nap. See you all tomorrow.

[RavensEye]

Keeping fingers crossed .....

:damnpc:

[GEBS]

It just died again. It's at #1414161. :grrrrr:

[DragonsChest]

Do we have any way of knowing what the end total that we're shooting for is? Some sort of wonderful blue Microsoft status bar? _inabox_

[mol]

It just died again. It's at #1414161. :grrrrr:
And the wonderful GEBS got the database job started again. Folks, this could last well into tonight. So, just be patient.

I miss that 'New Posts' button, too...ya know!

Anyway, I am off to work...not MW...actual outside work.

Love!

[GEBS]

I love you.

Come back, New Posts! :(

Keep your fingers out of the hammer's way. Just saying.

[Lunacie]

One by one you're finding the posts that pose the problems and eliminating them. It may be slow but it's still progress.

I'm going to the library this morning to check out more books. I'll take the girls to the swimming pool this afternoon. Maybe I'll play my PC game for awhile. But I miss my MW and all the activity here.

[Evelline]

it says I have 663266 or something likme that karma touches, but I've onl;y had one from instinct, and my acount isn't old enough for it to count.

You just did with that post, so now I know. _inabox_

[Lost_Sole]

You just did with that post, so now I know. _inabox_
sorry....

[Sennefer]

You don't have to apologize. :) You're right. I was just embarrassed because I didn't know it causes problems.

[GEBS]

Do we have any way of knowing what the end total that we're shooting for is? Some sort of wonderful blue Microsoft status bar? _inabox_


I can give you periodic updates if ya want :)

We're currently 64.01% done.

Cool! It's the geek in me, always watching that blue status bar.... :hahugh:

[wolf]

Would the reindexing run faster if you just shut the board down for a couple of hours?

[GEBS]

Would the reindexing run faster if you just shut the board down for a couple of hours?
*gasp*

I think there'd be outrage if he did that! ;)

[DragonsChest]

:yikess: <--- That should be you, after a suggestion like that. BOOOOO!!!!! :)

[KiNoRonin]

So when will the Search Icon be Re-enabled?

I use that a lot.

KNR

[GEBS]

As soon as the job has stopped I will re-enable everything and send out an email telling everyone.

If someone says something about the search and stuff not working....direct them here. =] Sorry!

We're getting there.

[Flaire]

*gasp*

It would cause mass hysteria! :awilly:
Especially for those of us who get on chat by IRC and can talk about it. :deviltail

[wolf]

*gasp*

I think there'd be outrage if he did that! ;)

As frustrating as it might be to jones for a mysticwicksfyx for that period of time, I think people would understand it's for the good of the board and of the community.

(I'm big on unpopular suggestions, I know)

[GEBS]

Cool! It's the geek in me, always watching that blue status bar.... :hahugh:


good lord. We've moved 2% in the last 2 hours.

We're at 66.34%
Does that mean we have another 33 hours of this??? :ugh:

[Lucidia]

wow, i'm back for like three days, and things have fallen apart, it's all my fault, I know it!

[mol]

wow, i'm back for like three days, and things have fallen apart, it's all my fault, I know it!
Naw! It will be well worth it, folks. After the indexing...I have a few more server tweaks and things will be running golden again. =]

Be patient!

[Shadow Dreamer]

uhm...oh mighty Mol, yer webmastership.......could we please have our search back? we promise we'll be good! Don't we EVERYBODY?!

-*gollum*-

j/k...rough guess: how long?

~SD

[mol]

Well, my guess...it will be at least 2 days. My dsl connection bombed during the process and there was no way to figure out WHERE it left off. I had to empty the search table and restart.

Sorry, everyone. I hate it, too. I am very upset right now.

[AutumnWitchie]

So that means that by the time the hubby and I get back from our 2 days of "adult" time, MW will be running beautifully!:boing: :boing: :boing: :boing:

Been working with the guys at Jelsoft and have figured out a way to turn the engine back one while it is reindexing. The search engine wont work very well, yet...until the database job it done. BUT...view new posts will work.

At least that is something.

Getting a little tired. Might need a nap. More work in the morning.

Don't worry about it, Mol. Things like this are inevitable and part of having such an enormous forum that needs constant maintenance. We're just grateful that you are doing this at all. After all, a better faster MW awaits us at the end of this technical tunnel. :D

Hello there,
I am actually glad that you close some threads when they begin to get a bit, strong. I really did not mean to get upset with that person, but they were becoming quite disrespectful to everyone on the gay marriage thread.
I hope things are going better for you.
Hang in there,

[amakaliani]

good work Mol.....GReat work actually

[Amythyst]

Oh God...I thought it was me! I'm still new and clumsy enough with the computer to be afraid of doing something wrong and screwing something up.

Whenever something doesn't work-- I just figure it's me.

What a relief.:)
