Server Restored

[yash101]

Yes, the backups are pretty fast. However, this is a big site, so I believe it takes up to an hour normally, which can get a little annoying!

For some reason I remember them being max 15 minutes long(I could be wrong though so please correct me if I am). You only have to back up new information, so I can't fathom it being that long. Very few people are on from 1-4AM anyways(except for the people in Israel), so I think most people prefer the quick backup every day that almost always doesn't affect them over a much longer backup every month that would likely bring the sight down for a significant amount of time. The daily 15 min backups would turn into a 7.5 hr backup.

Sometimes I'm still up at 4AM eastern.

Yeah, my "Bed time" is when CD starts to back up.

I've been noticing a long delay (10s of seconds) when reporting a post. Has anyone else seen that?

Yeah, I've noticed it too. If I'm not mistaken, was reporting a post previously considered making a post? Because I'd always get the "one post in 47 seconds" message, up until recently, which I'm guessing that change came with the delay...

[yash101]

I thought that was just a bug. Now I think that the mail server could be acting up and causing a delay

Yes, It's been like this for a long time. I sometimes worry if it goes through, especially when reporting from my phone.

I was just able to report a post and it took 1-2 seconds to do .. not sure what would cause the delay you're seeing.

Also -- I've added some additional IP filtering. Any IP originating in certain countries will be blocked, and given instructions on how to unblock themselves (e-mail me). I have initially blocked out the countries with IPs that have been causing a lot of the spam recently (India and Bangladesh).

Doesn't that mean you'll be getting hundreds of spam emails from India and Bangladesh?

[Brandon Martus]

Most likely the spam bots will just move onto another vBulletin site.

It just worked for me in about 3 seconds, much faster then before.

[Brandon Martus]

Next time it takes 10sec+, send me an email with the approximate time, so I can look through some monitoring I have set up.

It may be related to the number of moderators it is sending an email to. I just reported a thread in general forum (with 35 moderators) at 1:50 PST, and it took almost 30 seconds. Our previous tests would have only sent emails to a few moderators.

It happened to me just 30 minutes ago, at 4:22 when reporting this thread http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...93#post1317493

I explained my concerns and clicked Submit, then waited maybe 10 seconds before it responded.
