Life In 19x19

I'm getting that error page when following this link: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11205&start=20

Intermittent, no problem loading any other page when this happens. Has happened a handful of times in the past few days.

how many posts per page are your personal forum settings? If its really high, you might try reducing it.

20, shouldn't be enough to affect it.

mine are 10, and I get the page

Yeah, I started getting the error on multiple threads again so I dropped it to 10. Quick fix but eh, not good.

Same problem for me. It appears to happen whenever I try to view a page with 17 or more posts.

yeah, its a common problem that's been plaguing this forum for years now. There are a number of threads about it already.

I believe and suspect its a problem with the database running out of connections, or running out of memory. Its hard to say exactly without looking at the logs. I suspect also that its a problem being on a shared host with other applications using the same database perhaps.

This problem creeps up from time to time until, I believe, the host owners reboot either the database, or the applications, or both. Then the problem goes away for a while, but eventually come back.

Reducing your posts per page is a workaround, and one that should not be necessary (and one that I really hate).

Since it’s been a problem for a long time I assume it will have to do with … money. CPU time, connection number, memory, traffic load, all these are things that money can buy.

Consequently, some time ago I decided to support L19 by donating, and I hope that if enough people do so, some day things may improve.
