It wouldn't let me access chat just now (11:30 pm eastern central time sunday night).  It's calling me an unregistered user. 

DNS = Domain Name Server. It's the definitive catalog (or database) of the actual physical locations (IP addresses) of all web sites on the internet. ISP's have to "crawl" the DNS database in order to know where the sites are located. Since the internet is very fluid and sites change locations often, the ISP's have to update their database with all the IP adresses on the DNS frequently.

It's simple: it's a "phone book" for ISP's.

Yep. While I have your attention, did they ever fix the .gif problem? I haven't tried in a while.

Thanks

YUKU is slower than my old dial-up connection.

I think of that old tone my modem used to make when I dialed in.... bzzzzzzzztpppbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz boing boing bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt....

Don't know if this is a Yuku problem, a server problem or what......but when I click on a thread I get the following. It even appeared in my dialog box for this reply before I refreshed:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /var/www/html/modules/dbm/dbm.mod on line 101 Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /var/www/html/modules/dbm/dbm.mod on line 101 Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /var/www/html/modules/dbm/dbm.mod on line 101 Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /var/www/html/modules/dbm/dbm.mod on line 101 Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/html/modules/dbm/dbm.mod on line 109 Fatal error: Could not connect to DB:account a1-3 account_reader in /var/www/html/modules/error/error.mod on line 285

They must be doing something with the servers... I couldn't get on last night (502 Bad Gateway). The warning you got tells me the servers weren't connecting to the database.

Looks like Roseanne broke yuku's database with a mass attack of queries. I knew she would manage it one day.

LMAO!  

Getting white pages today. If I refresh, it's ok most of the time..........

They're going to have to fix this soon because they run the risk of losing people and communities. This is an instant gratification world working in an instant access environment.

Things seem to be speeding up and working better in the last half hour or so.  Hope it lasts...

This update was recently posted at Yuku Support ~ I'll post the 'more detailed announcement' when it is posted ~ Sooz

Current Status:

The system is currently stable after experiencing repeated server issues this past weekend.

We are waiting for a chat server reboot. A more detailled announcement will be posted at announcements.yuku.com in the next hour.

Here's the detailed announcement posted at Yuku Support ~ Sooz


Recent server issues have been fixed

Hello everyone,

First and foremost, please allow us to profusely apologise for the server issues this past weekend. We are aware that the repeated outages have been tough on all of you. The technicians have worked throughout the weekend to resolve the current problems.

While the servers are back to performing acceptably, no doubt you are wondering what exactly is being done to prevent this type of issues in the future. What is being done to make your boards and profiles load more reliably.. these are fair questions and we'd like to give you the answers you deserve.

The Crowdgather team has been expanded with extra engineering and support staff. After familiarising themselves with the Yuku network, first priority and focus is on getting to the root of the issues and making the necessary adjustments.

Unfortunately, this cannot happen overnight, it will take time and effort, and until the ultimate goal of server stability has been reached, there may still be some bumps in the road.

Knowing how dedicated the Crowdgather team is towards fixing the system, we here at Yuku have put our full trust in this team, and we hope you will do the same. Experiencing more stability and comfortable browsing for all of our members system-wide is not a mere wish, it is a promise we are happy to make today.

Thank you for hanging in there with us,
Yuku Team

Touch wood...

Not so far.
