Site question

[DougBob]

Actually its nothing to do with our end, its the fault of the server player feeds.
It happens from time to time.

Its just that the server is taking to long to reply to our page request, with in your page request,
even thou its separately ran else where, if the time taken to get the info is just too long it faults like that.

I changed stuff a month ago to remove this...
I tweaked a few settings, again, hopefully sort it finally.
Its been an occasional issue from the start.

So your saying if we update our profile to not show our stats, we won't see the error again?

Oh and by the way, I'm glad your satisfied with T-Mobile, but on our last trip to Omaha, NE my bud didn't have any service on the interstate or anywhere in between until we got inside Omaha, not even roaming.
If he would have been alone and had an accident or a car break down he would have been out of contact.

My sprint kept right on giving me voice and the only thing I lost a couple times was data connection.

For as many people complain about Tmobile. I see equal if not more complaints on the web about sprint, ATT, Verizon. I remember several years back everyone was leaving ATT to Cingular and look who bought them out. I hear alot of mouths on Cricket and its coverage. So I'm just glad Tmobile is not the worst of the list.

Its not to say Tmobile is the best. I had several issues too like the 9-11, major tornados, service equiment upgrades and last year when half of the US, Tmobile service was down cause of computer error (so they say). I'm ok with the service.

WHY DIDN'T YOU VISIT ME?!?!?!?!?

LOL. Omaha is a verizon city by the way, that's the best network here.

Nope, it wont stop the error.

[mapes]

Yeah as Sirex said PHP is a server side script language. So your client visits the page. The server runs a script and the script on the server side times out.

[Infamous]

I've gotten that timeout error probalby 10 or so times that past few days.

That's one fine looking avatar, i tell you what.

[Sirex]

I'll explain a little more detail what the issue here is.

Every so often a visitor will trigger updates of random things.
Normally these are ran blind on the server, you never trigger them.
But these ones are what are considered to be 'eaters'.
If they ran constantly then, we'd be likly to cause a slow down totally.
So, randomly one or two of you might trigger one these 'eaters', things which question outside sources for info.

ie the server status >>>>
yours, and other peoples user bar info if they have it.

All it takes is for one server outside our world here at CL to be slow.
Once that happens, it can occasionally cause a 'timeout' on our end.
Mainly due to the fact its having to wait for say bfbc2s to respond, or game tracker, or something.

I do limit the eaters each user runs per visit, but all it takes is 1 to be slow.
