parrotfeathers #401 Posted January 21 So glad I finally got here. I can load Celebrity, HAL and the departure forums. But no RCL last night or today. It seems crazy to me how one can get to one and not the other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks...obviously MySQL is unable to handle CC & the previous system had fewer issues than the new system. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astro Flyer #405 Posted January 21 (edited) Jenn...in addition to the MySQL server going away message I sometimes get this message which might help with troubleshooting the problem. Edited January 21 by Astro Flyer 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I just wanted to double check that everyone is able to access their forums today 🙂 Happy Monday I have repeatedly gotten the error message today, January 21 when trying to access the “main” boards for the cruise lines. I’m still able to access less busy boards such as Ports of Call. They are slow but do eventually load. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An error occurred (500 Error) We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now. MySQL server has gone away You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later. seems like the database server is overloaded with requests and cant handle the traffic Edited January 21 by fstuff1 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mking8288 #411 Posted January 21 (edited) Ooops, Norwegian board came back late night & was fine earlier this morning, UTC time & then, boom - 500 error, again. NCL's Roll Call forum is working, however. Roll Calls are still working, not a total meltdown but pretty annoying. Heads shaking & eyes rolling, someone isn't delivering the promised performance benchmark ... IMHO. This SQL cloud-based database - partial server shutdown and going offline, getting to be rather frustrating, aggravating ... whether this is a scheduled maintenance or unscheduled one, it should not - common sense logics - be done in the middle of the day when end user traffic to the sites are expected. What else can we say ... Edited January 21 by mking8288 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glenn Since implementing the new system one time they had a green banner at the top of forums to notify us about an upcoming scheduled outage for maintenance. By reading Jenn’s earlier post it appears the recent unavailability of forums is an unanticipated failure & not any scheduled maintenance outage. Not many have located this thread which unfortunately doesn’t provide much information from CC about it’s status. Guess these continuing issues shouldn’t be a complete surprise after the couple of days outage to implement the new system dragged on for nearly a week. I’m not an IT expert but based on these recurring outages whoever they got to make the changes still hasn’t been able to provide a reliable system nearly 4 months after implementation. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krazy Kruizers #421 Posted January 21 Okay -- very frustrated -- twice I have been able to open the HAL board -- saw that other people are able to post. But when I open a thread, all I get is the SQL message. Why can some people post and others are not able to? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astro Flyer #422 Posted January 21 (edited) Is anyone else experiencing very slow loading on this thread? That’s happening to me & wondering if this thread will also slowdown to crash. When that happens I eventually get a message when the page fails to load that I am not connected to the internet. That is not true because it’s not happening on any other websites but only on CC.

Kenswing #423 Posted January 21 The "upgrade" was bad enough but this reliability issue is really something that shouldn't be happening in this day and age.. They need to find a solution whether it be different servers or different programmers. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
