Subject: Errors getting a bit irritating.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Now don't worry, I'm not here to bash Bungie. I'm just stating that I believe that the number of errors I have been getting from this site are ridiculous. It could be my computer. I doubt it, but it could be. I'll list all of the errors I have gotten. Mabye it could help Bungie fix it when they do.
Today I have gotten these errors trying to access the forums page.

* Could not bind repeater
* NullReference
* OutOfMemoryException
* Internal Server Error
* InvalidCastException
* Authentication Failure: Cannot find specified users' profile data.
* Account Creation Error: You cannot create an account since you are succesfully logged in as Daveman929 (What the hell?)

I also got this one, and I have no idea what the hell it was so I'll just post it.

Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>



That is excatly what showed up.
Now, once again, I'm not here to bash Bungie. I'm trying to help solve a probem by posting this.

If Achronos could respond (or anyone with knowledge of the answers) and explain what to do in these situations. ie. email, ignore it, pm him etc
it would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure.

I am getting errors, about half the ones you are. They are getting more frequent.

And it's just not the forums. I can't view stats and I get errors on different parts of the site to.

Some people get different errors. Some people can view stats, but others can't.

Once today I tried to get on the forums. It took me about 20 minutes because of the 8ish error messages I got, combined with the slow server. Now the slow speed isn't what I'm complaining about. It's the error messages.

I have been getting errors today. I got an error when I went to the front page and I can't go to any groups here without getting errors so I do not have access to any of the groups I'm in.

Yeah, same here...recently I've probably been getting about 5 of those type of errors a day or something. Usually with those errors, or errors like them, refreshing it normally helps me, but occasionally it just keeps on bringing up the error if anybody who knows what's going on, please let us know. Thanks.

I think that this has something to do with the amount of traffic. My theory is, if you're really annoyed by them don't go on much on these days:

Friday
Sunday
Saturday

I'm not saying you shouldn't go on at these days as i like an active forum, but if you want to get less errors, it is my belief that the days stated above are days that you will probably experience more errors.

I am also not saying that the errors will stop even if you don't go on on those days. They will no doubt still occur.

-Hope it helps, a little.

I've noticed that as well. It was fine during the week, but then once friday came all hell broke loose. Today's monday and it's running fine. That could be because it's 7 in the morning, but oh well.

"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."

Two things happened - first, a change was made two weeks ago that seemed to expose more errors to users that were normally caught and hidden. That wasn't the intended effect, obviously. Second, with the spike in errors, the site slows down, and with the influx of users due to the autoupdate and the maps... well, you can see why they are struggling. That, and the Disembodied Soul is still occassionally banning people for duplicate accounts who don't actually have duplicate accounts. We're working on all of the problems and hope to have a fix soon. In the mean time... please be patient. Go play some Halo 2 instead.

Ok. Thanks for the info Achronos. And seeing as the new maps were just released, I think I'll do just that.

Thank you for the information achronos. It is pleasing to know something is to be done about it.

I can barely get around this site without getting an error.
Oh well, it'll probably clear up...
