    I did make some more changes on the 12th to address performance issues. According to my instrumentation, things seem to be working much better. Vastly fewer 500s, much lower IOwaits.

    Had another timeout issue(Communication error) on my mobile this morning at 9:05 AM EST. Wouldn't load another page on DLP from where I already was at.

    Had another 500 Internal Server Error just two minutes ago(12:45 PM EST, 6/22). The site has been going a little slow and taking longer to load some pages from my actual computer but they usually pull through. This is the first time its failed, and I loaded another page(about necroposting) in another tab within moments of this error with no trouble.

    I found the issue at 11, I'm working to permanently resolve the situation.

    There's a certain process which when run can sometimes get stuck and hold memory needed by other processes. It runs periodically, so can take up a lot of memory quickly.

    Another error at 2:10 pm AEST (GMT+10). Dunno if it's from the same issue you've already identified, but figured I'd report it anyway.

    I've had two of these errors tonight, though I admit I didn't pay good attention to when. I'm 90% sure they happened when I either (1) went to my profile or (2) clicked on 'new posts.'

    Also getting some text at the top of the screen that looks like this:
    Got several between 2:00 AM Central and 2:10 Central while trying to edit posts or create threads.

    Just an FYI -

    Clicked "submit reply" on a post, and it took much longer for it to post than normal. Not that it means anything in itself, but I've been on a couple other forums where that's usually a harbinger of problems to come, so I just thought I'd share. Happened a couple times, actually.
    Edit: It didn't time out.

    Thread: Questions about YOUR FANFIC that don't deserve their own thread...
    Time: around 11:30.

    EDIT2: talk about irony. My edit did time out.

    I know this thread is a bit old but the whole time I've been a member of this site I've been getting 500 errors about half the time I reply to a thread.
