Sometimes I am able to see the embedded videos, but at other times they are not visible, like present. Is there a bug or some application in the browser that seems to be blocking this display?

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 06 Feb 2015 09:04

probably incorrect embedding by the poster. just the video ID needs to be put in youtube tags, not the whole url.

click quote for such posts and check in the editing box.

I did that and the embedding seems to be fine. Look at this post in the STFUP sutra for instance

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6954&start=360#p1792130

All the videos are invisible to me. I don't think all of them are embedding issues. I'll have a look at my browser settings as well. Juts wanted to know if others are facing something similar?

Mods,

This corporate spying case seems like a biggie with rot running deep. A dedicated thread for news and discussion?

Comer · Post by **Comer** » 21 Feb 2015 20:28

Mods, can you please change my id to madrassi? Thanks in advance.

archan · Post by **archan** » 22 Feb 2015 07:46

Why would you want an ID which has negative connotations to it? I know it's not a slang in itself but the history associated with it.

Comer · Post by **Comer** » 22 Feb 2015 09:12

If that's not OK, can I have cooumer as id? It's based on a river in Madras. Thanks.

Ancient Sciences in Bhaarath thread is locked???

Mod Saars,
I can understand that there may be some inconvenience due to the nature of the thread. Fantastic claims would be made in the thread. The idea is to slowly sift through these claims and separate the truth from the myth.

So, please allow the thread to develop a bit. If you still think that the thread is useless, then please close it. But, just give it some time to develop. Please...

JohneeG garu,

Let it rest Saar. Like JEM/Ramanaji said even Truth needs to wait for Samayam and Sandarbham. You triggered the thought. When right time comes someone like Shivji will start this very discussion in open forum

Thanks Amber G garu.

{Self Edit: Browsed Math dhaga and noticed that all types of problems/puzzles are discussed there already. Shouldn't be an issue to discuss some of JohneeG's ideas there.}

P.S: Which thread is more suitable for this post in your opinion; Math or Physics thread? I will be glad to if this post is proven right/wrong by math/physics gurus

RamaY · Post by **RamaY** » 26 Feb 2015 20:24

Mods,

Noticing frequent SQL errors (too many threads error that one sees during maintenance hrs) nowadays.

Hope this is due to increased traffic and not DOS attacks.

Please do the needful.

Picklu · Post by **Picklu** » 26 Feb 2015 20:36

^^ Same here for last 2 days.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 26 Feb 2015 20:38

mods can't do anything about it.

perhaps the php developer can share his code here for analysis, and we may able to give them some suggestion how to correct these errors.

this is not DDOS attack per my analysis

I blame Mullah RB, this happens because he does not henna his beard

Too many connections [1040]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Another thing, besides this latest hiccups I have noticed that around US 2-5PM CST daily the site will be down - some error message about too many SQL connections...

Is this site hosted in cloud or some old-school data centers?

This is the usual twice a day backup time (around 3-4 PM and 3-4 AM CST), so it's expected. The latest hiccups are outside this band.

Suraj · Post by **Suraj** » 27 Feb 2015 03:10

There's a daily site backup that lasts 20-40 minutes. It has gotten longer lately, because of a profusion of threads, and expensive poster requests, e.g. delete profile and all posts.

The latest problem was ISP related.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 27 Feb 2015 06:27

the following configs one can do:
Increase the number of DB connections you can open simultaneously from 1024 to 4096.
share connections, or use a connection pool mechanism.
of course those require some work and testing.. the cheap and best would be ensure, the connections are closed for every post. it can slow down, but would not deny anyone like it happens now.

That is a feature, not a bug. We BRFites need some free time to get our regular work done.

Looks OK to me - probably something with the rendering engine of your Browser. Happens especially on Mobiles
