Uptime Or Downtime?

In general, when you come to this forum is up and running for you or do you find that it is offline for some reason? What percentage would you give for uptime?

Downtime Uptime

When I first joined you were having trouble with uptime. However, since your last server move, many months ago, I have had no trouble connecting at all. You are up all the time! I am glad too, because I am very addicted to this forum and would suffer great withdrawal if I couldn't connect when I wanted to. :computer:

Downtime Uptime

I lost the post when I clicked Add Reply. I received the timer, and then a blank page. By the time I got back to the thread, the post was not out there. I realize saving to the clipboard is wise, especially when the threads are long, but I usually dont do so because it involves an extra step (yes I am lazy )

Uptime Or Downtime?

Hmmm... that is strange, it must have been a connection problem, I am sorry about that. The script does have a feature that if something goes wrong it will give you the 'watch dog' and then post your text in a box below the error message, but a blank page... well that is a whole other scenario.

Uptime Downtime

Alex, I always try to copy my post, specially if it is too long on notepad, and then I just copy and paste, I have lost several posts in the past and they were really longgggg posts and I learnt my lesson.

The other night we had some downtime due to server trouble but generally I think we are doing loads better than we did when using YaBB, in fact I doubt YaBB could have ever taken the strain this script does and we would have experienced more downtime - thanks be to MySQL.
