Hmm that's strange. I've restarted the database service, since it was started since long time, maybe it accumulated some issues, a fresh start may help.


Do you mean the new make system? That was more than a month ago, slowdowns on edits were much more recent than that. In the last days there were two new agressive bots, these didn't help for sure, but possibly there is something else.
Maybe we hit again a limit of the current server, at some point the growing of the site may cause an issue for the current architecture, limiting useless vehicles would be easier than finding real solutions

Yeah, I'm wondering if something from the latest update is causing edits and comments to time out. That seems to be when things are slowing down.

same here , each time i post a comment or change a car's ID i have a " envoi d'une requete a www.imcdb.org " on the bottom left corner of my screen , then it sits from a few second to over a minute ( its never the same ) before the comment appears or the ID page closes

even had
" Error in database request - Failed to read auto-increment value from storage engine

You may try to refresh the page, or try again later. If this error persist, you may contact us to report it.

Go back to home page"

on the last comment i posted

Indeed, lately some bots were very active
I'll also try to limit some types of searches to registered users, to avoid bots following some links that could slow down the site.
Some are already blocked for bots, though.

The site has been a little sluggish since last night. I've had to enable the bot blocker a couple times.

Indeed. I'll check that. Thanks.

edit: it is now fixed

I don't know if anyone is aware of this but the page for vehicles owned by IMCDB members is not working, it's bringing out an error
http://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?owned

I found the culprit: it is the "display options" box: it is wrongly positioned, pushing all the contents to the left. I'll fix it
edit: done

But the words always stay on the same line before update 🤔. I didn't even change the screen settings or change any options in user page.
