Website crashed & got fixed

System · December 2004

As you may have noticed (we HOPE you noticed!), HRhero.com crashed on Tuesday. We apologize for any inconvenience or Forum withdrawal.

Technical whiz Jim Robb fixed the problem by moving the website to a new, faster server, which he was preparing to do soon anyway. When you use the Forum and some other parts of HRhero.com, you might notice the web pages opening a little faster. :DD

However, there might be some technical glitches - probably not with the Forum but maybe on other parts of the website. We're trying to weed them out, but you might notice a problem we missed. As they say, a hundred eyes are better than two ... assuming that they're on 50 heads and not all crammed onto one mutant head in a B-movie xflash ... oh, never mind.... If you notice a technical glitch, please contact Customer Service at [email]custserv@mleesmith.com[/email] and describe the problem and give the web address where it happened.

Thanks for your help and understanding. Hopefully everything will run smoothly and faster from now on.

Wow James, posting at 11:10 PM. I'm sure that you will be awarded overtime or maybe comp time to cover your extra work.

I'm having a problem this a.m. Can't open the WC/FMLA/ADA section. Also, everything seems to be moving very slowly when I change sections. Maybe it's my system but yesterday and today have not been good days on the Forum.

I am having the same problem as Mushroom - the pages takes a long time to open up.

Did you say faster? Mine's slower than molasses in December. Also all of the features are not there. The file folder that indicates new posts is missing and so are the different logos.

I had the same problems early this morning but after I rebooted everything is fine. Much faster than usual.

ritaanz · December 2004

I don't know what you did, but it's working good now. Did you replace the mice on the computer wheel? Or did you replace Mr. Robb?

System · December 2004

Nah, we can't replace Jim -- he's the personal trainer for the mice that power the servers. It's great to watch them jump rope and lift those tiny barbells.

If the Forum is still slow for anyone, please give it a little time and let me know tomorrow if it's still slow.

I was just about to go into the Forum Addiction Recovery Program. Whew! I am glad I don't have to go cold turkey now.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-08-04 AT 07:01PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Did any of you notice that the crash followed Popeye's 666th post? Ray and I discussed this offline in the interest of the religious implication. Look it up. His 666th post had gibberish across the top of it in the top bar and the bottom of the post had a black band which, strangely, allowed nobody to reply to it, and this was precisely the time during which the Forum crash occurred. This was indeed strange. x}> If you're interested, go to the bottom of the 'Aunt Bea' thread and you'll see.

Oh my gosh, that was the day that I didn't eat my spinach.

Hi James - I did notice the site crashed ;;).

Only glitch I have & I've sent an email to Brad & the customer service link is that my number of postings reverted to zero. So, even though I've been on the forum for well over a year, I've only posted 4 times. Could you guys fix it please? x:*

marc · December 2004

But those four posts were memorable doozies!x:D
