Ach! Was ist los?

Am I the only one getting an HTTP 500 error every other time I try to visit the B.net forums?

I'd assume it's an aftershock from the recent upgrades, but damn is it annoying.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

There are currently two issues with the forums. The first is that moderation actions (delete/lock/pin/move) aren't properly interacting with the cache, which is why you can see a post on the front page of a forum and then go to it and see that it is locked, even though it wasn't marked with a lock icon. We know what that is, but it isn't as serious as the second problem, so we haven't taken the time to fix it yet.

The other problem is that the primary function that returns the listing of topics in a forum is being VERY slow - it is accounting for about 80% of the database server's workload for an individual session, and that's causing everything else to slow down and timeout. About five minutes ago, we think we found the cause, I'm currently working on the fix and testing it.

Hopefully, much of the weird behavior will cease when we get those fixes up... hopefully by tomorrow.

That was funny, on a more serious note though ive been having a different problem letely. When ever i try to view stats while im logged in. Some large error reference null data stuff comes up. When i log out however, everything is fine. this problem started when the website went down to make the gold omderator icon stuff. is this being worked on also?

sorry i don't like to capitolize im to lazy to hit the shift key

Your best bet for all these problems is the bnetbugs alias.

At least the forums work properly.

And another big round of applause for Achronos and the web team!

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Quite a few people seem to be having similar problems. On a personal note, everything is fine except one thread which went very weird last night, anyway, all you can do at the moment is wait for the fix and hope.
