cowpuc Posted August 20, 2014 #1 Posted August 20, 2014 So,,,, about an hour and a half ago I noticed that I couldnt get on the site and got some message about the data base... I panicked, ran to the cupboard and grabbed a handful of Valium, washed em down with a pint of Vodka... I now know how Yammer feels cause I am having a hard time finding myself here.... Anyway,, did anyone else experience that blip or was it just a sign that I need to become a drug addict??? Was Freebird leaning against the wall in his garage while he was changing the oil in his bike and maybe bumped a light switch or something? Maybe Eileen found out you guys didnt support her ordering a new Slingshot and pulled a fuse behind Dons back? What ever it was, if it was something you took care of for us THANKS FREEBIRD!! If it was something I did please forgive me:whistling:
Freebird Posted August 20, 2014 #2 Posted August 20, 2014 Yes, I caught it almost immediately and was talking back and forth with our service provider. Got it resolved pretty quickly but not before I received about 95 "database error" emails. Don't know what caused it but am trying to figure it out. Hopefully it won't happen again.
The Tooch Posted August 20, 2014 #3 Posted August 20, 2014 What ever it was, if it was something you took care of for us THANKS FREEBIRD!! If it was something I did please forgive me:whistling: Puc if I told you once...........Do NOT touch the red one!

I cant even imagine what you go thru dealing with the stuff Don,, seriously my friend, THANK YOU for all you do!! YOU DA MAN BROTHER!!!:clap2::clap2: Puc if I told you once...........Do NOT touch the red one! Ya know,,,, these guys are sooooooooooooooo fortunate they have Freebird at the helm and not some prankster who would purposely play with that little red switch Tooch... I mean really,,, I can think of all kinds of fun games I could play with that kind of doohickey...
etcswjoe Posted August 20, 2014 #5 Posted August 20, 2014 If it had happen to me I would have just chalked it up to PEBCAK and Don thanks your hard work is appreciated.

Would this be something to do with the router limitation that has been in the news lately? The number of web addresses has gotten too large for some of the older routers to handle so some URL's are getting dropped.

Is that PEBCAK thingy anything like a FUBAR thingy Joe? I like hanging with you military guys who use all kinds of cool lingo.. I gotta start learning more of the meaning of these strange words...

cowpuc Posted August 20, 2014 Author #10 Posted August 20, 2014 Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard Here I have PEBCAK all these years and never knew what it was,,,,, THANKS JOE!!
Prairiehammer Posted August 20, 2014 #11 Posted August 20, 2014 Here I have PEBCAK all these years and never knew what it was,,,,, THANKS JOE!! Most of mine are because of PEBSAH.

Freebird Posted August 20, 2014 #13 Posted August 20, 2014 At this point, I'm not at all sure what caused it. Had to rebuild the database to get it back. There is a suspicion that it was caused by somebody trying to upload attachments to the classifieds that were WAY to large. It is not the first time. People try to upload HUGE pictures that cause the upload to fail. The maximum picture size is 640 x 480 and no more than 200,000 bytes but some folks either forget or don't know how to resize a picture so try to upload pictures that are over a megabyte in size. I've added a note about max picture size to the top of the classifieds. Don't know if that will help or not.
Flyinfool Posted August 20, 2014 #14 Posted August 20, 2014 I'll bet there are a lot of people that don't even know how to check the picture size let alone resize it.

So, the Classifieds upload doesn't have an automatic rejection (as does the forum threads) of attempted too large uploads?
Freebird Posted August 20, 2014 #16 Posted August 20, 2014 No, it doesn't. It tries to resize the picture but when they are TOO big, it times out and fails. No explanation or anything.
