Update on DU's database issues (Saturday afternoon) [View all]

Hi everyone,

After the work that was done yesterday and today, we've seen a marked improvement in database performance. You may have noticed that the site is running much faster today than it was yesterday or on Thursday.

We are hopeful that the worst is behind us (fingers crossed) so we are soon going to attempt to re-open the site to registered non-Star Members. We will observe the situation and if everything looks good, we'll try opening back up for everyone.

Please be aware though that during the next couple of hours we may see performance start to degrade again, while we perform these tests. If that happens we will revert back to Star Members only and then consider our next steps.

This has obviously been a rough couple of days, especially coming just before the election. We appreciate you all hanging in there while we try to get things back to normal.

I'll post another update when we have more news...
