Jim's Lab Notes — Site News, Baseball Talk, and a Bunch of Other Stuff Wednesday, September 09, 2015Site SlowdownsA number of people have complained about slow load times for pages at different times during the day. After spending some time monitoring the server a little more closely the last few days, I’ve narrowed down the cause to a few Mysql queries that have been locking some of the database’s biggest tables. When that happens the other queries pause and fall into the queue until the table lock is released. I’ve already fixed some issues created within the forums by archiving the old Lounges. I need to spend more time researching some of the other queries to work around the issue by rewriting or disabling the errant queries. When that’s done I will spend a little time tweaking the Mysql configuration to get thing working to satisfaction. Thankfully, the issues are not related to the site’s hardware. I apologize for the inconveniences and for not setting aside time to fix things sooner. |

Someone probably forgot to close italics.
Also, the Nationals fired Matt Williams today. Coincidence??
Thanks, Jim.
Now they're ready to resurrect even PETCO!
I hate to complain about much of anything. I appreciate all the work and effort it takes for Jim to run the site so we have this place to hangout, and I thank him for the efforts. I've enjoyed this site for over 11 years now. But I will use this opportunity to say I just gave up after 3 efforts to submit an article. I was simply choosing the word General in the primary tag, and as I typed, it appeared in the drop down. I clicked on the word and it was there in it's entirety in the field. But after clicking submit, I kept getting error message saying I didn't fill in the tag field. And of course when I click on the link to go back to the submission page, everything is blank and I have to start all over. After 3 attempts, I quit.
Here is the article I was trying to link by the way.
Thanks
If they are a problem, why continue the OT threads?
Most of the time you can get to the desired page by hitting the back button on your browser. It seems like the browser loads up the proper page, the thinks that the ad should be shown on a new page, so it jumps to the ad. Clicking Back takes you to the page that you wanted.
However, lately that doesn't always work. Sometimes it takes me to the previous page and I have to click the link again. Maybe 25% of the time.
Chrome likes to tout how each tab runs in its own separate process so the whole browser can't crash due to one web site, but I don't find that to be entirely true. I rarely use Chrome on my desktop so I don't have a baseline for comparison.
Now I closed the unresponsive BTF tab in Chrome on my Nexus 7, created a new tab, and went to BTF via a bookmark. It loaded the page elements, then the banner and sidebar ads (same advertisers) and went idle as normal. The whole thing took about 35-40 seconds. Hope this helps.
This was true for me - content now appears on my iPhone.
Haven't checked the iPad, but desktop Safari is fine while iPhone, as of 30 seconds ago, still gets stuck at the Nissan ad.
Haven't been here as much lately, but desktop site seems much faster and more stable than a few weeks/months ago. Thanks, Jim.
Same here. Won't load on iPad or iPhone, but appears OK on the PC.
But if you can't see the site content because the ad blocks it, then that is truly the ad blocker from h3ll.
FYI, if you've donated at least $20 to the site within the last year and aren't viewing the site ad free (which happens because the email with the donation isn't the same as your site email), contact me directly with info related to you donation and I will make your site visits ad-free.
For example, I first came the site this morning through the main page. Everything was fine. Then I clicked on the link to this thread, and I got the Comcast ad, which showed up as the only thing in my browser. I clicked the back button and that took me to this page. So it seems that I got to this page, but when the browser loaded the ad, it took me forward to just showing the ad.
Now, there's an American Family Insurance ad at the top which does not have the same behavior.
EDIT: Sorry, it's not Xfinity, it's Comcast B4B that causes problems. Mazda ad: fine, Chevrolet ad: fine.
Direct links to the homepage, or the newsblog page?
For me, it's any page on baseballthinkfactory.org. I get the banner ad at the top, and nothing else.
I just donated $50.00 a minute ago. How long does it take for the ads to disappear?
ditto on iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air2.
The Founding Primate's apparent lack of action or concern is a bit of a problem, IMHO. The iPad is the only way I'm going to access the site while watching the World Series or other sports programming, and I doubt that I'm the only one, although I'll try bookmarking the NewsBlog in addition to the main page.
If you still are having an issue, I'm sorry but I have exhausted my options.
Odds of me buying a Nissan after 30 years of Honda Civics were low anyway :)
Well not with the Air National Guard to protect us.
