Strange Errors

I loved the new version and even bought the license key less than an hour after installing it (yes, I was THAT happy with the forum).

Server Error in Forum Application

An error has occured while writing to the database

Please contact the forum administrator

Support Error Code:- err_SQLServer_getUserData()_update_last_visit

File Name:- functions_loginasp

Error details:-

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server

Timeout expired

 

And a few moments ago, when I clicked on a topic, I got this:

 

 Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

Transaction (Process ID 81) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

/forum/forum_posts.asp, line 429

 

What's going on???

 

Version 8 is much, much, faster than version 7.x and uses far less server resources, with many pages loading over 2000% faster and database hits also reduced by the same amount.

It sounds to me that it just a coincidence that this happened soon after the upgrade and the errors you are getting are usually associated with the server running the SQL Server running out of resources and being overloaded.

You should get onto your web host and get them to look into the issue, as this is an SQL Server issue.

Also: even when it's running fast in most of the forum, it slows down when dealing with large topics. We have a topic with 1189 pages and it takes up to 3 minutes to load a page of this topic (with v7.97, it was normal).

Ok, borg, I'll look into that.
