Site Maintenance
Posted by david on 23 Nov 2011 at 06:34 pm | Tagged as: Uncategorized
You may have noticed the site was down today for an hour or so. We shuffled some disks around and it required taking down the computer temporarily.
The end goal is to fix the slowness and gateway errors that people have been seeing lately. We’ve basically doubled our popularity in the past 8 months and that is putting some strain on our current computer:
We’re not quite done yet–we still need to do a database upgrade which will be happening sometime in the next few days (our guess is this is going to be a low traffic week). During the database upgrade the site will still basically work but you won’t see any high scores until the upgrade is done.
Addendum (2011/11/24): The database upgrade is done (only took half an hour) and so the maintenance is more or less done for the time being. Let’s give it a week and then let us know if you’re still getting gateway timeouts and slow page loads.
Thank you again and again for all of the hard work that you do for this site.
My compliments to you for a terrific solitaire site…………I like the bright colors and the “large” numbers on the cards!
Best of all………….not having to move the cards each time………….just clicking is so much nicer.
Thanks……

Luv your website and thanks for your continued efforts to make it better for all…
I have not been able to play lately and not sure why. The cards will not move when clicking on them. Do you know what the problem may be? WHen I click on register or new user…it just stays on authenticating. I love playing this game at lunch break.
Thanks.
