Timeouts on the 'Unread Content' Link

[Michael Hardner]

This is still happening.  

It seems to work fine immediately after I "mark all read" but slowly it goes away to the point where it times out when you try to use it.

A shame, because it's a great way to get caught up quickly.

That's odd, I've never gotten a timeout from this section.

I just rebooted the server, please give it a try again, and see if this timeout still happens. 

Please update the thread again if it happens, and the exact time that you got a timeout. I can then check that against the logs.

[Greg]

Strange, I can't get this error to happen for me.

Can you two clear your browser caches and try again?

[Michael Hardner]

I cleared cache and files and it's been better so far today.

[Greg]

Ok, thanks for keeping me in the loop.

I may need to resize the VPS that the site is running on, it looks like we're getting more traffic, and that's impacting server load.

[Michael Hardner]

My issue came back mid-day...

[Greg]

OK, I'll be booking some downtime sometime this week.

I'll be resizing the VPS, which shouldn't take longer than 30 min.

I'll post a notice shortly before I begin the process.

[Greg]

OK, I made some serious changes to the database this afternoon (which caused some downtime, sorry about that), and these changes should solve most of the problems we were having before.

@Michael Hardner, @Contrarian can you revisit the Unread Content page, you should not be getting any 504 errors anymore.

If anyone else wants to try, please visit this page:

And report back success or failure.

Thanks!

[Greg]

Ok, thanks looks like I’m gonna have to resize the VPS.

thanks!

These timeouts stopped happening for a few days; happening again today
