Just had such an error.

Dan, I told you where to change to, or, take the godaddy, which one plan at around $14 per month, which is amazing, and ask to be added to the new grid (they will know what you are talking about).

Worst come to worst, I add you to my account (I don't pay taxes*)

*never like paying them.

Super, the site you recommended Dan to switch to is a joke. They resell hosting - or at least it looks like it from their website. Anyone who charges a buck a month has to be doing something wrong. I'm sorry, but to get decent hosting that can handle an intense wordpress blog, you need to be paying. I guarantee you that flyertalk is not hosted on the site you mentioned, and neither is any major blog online. On the other hand, the guys we're hosting with - mediatemple - have all their own servers and a pretty unique way of distributing the load. They do all their own stuff and big companies use them for hosting. They are mid-range in pricing for what they call gs. We have been happy with their support. It just so happens to be, embarrasingly enough, that there were SQL injections into WP blogs that affected many of mt's websites.

But it seems that there are scripts either on the blog or the forums that are causing server use to be above normal. We are looking into it. Hence one of the reasons we started using a cache, to reduce server load.

And godaddy? SF...seriously? Godaddy is the biggest joke. Their backpanel is one of the hardest backpanels to navigate, their website is slow, their support is lackluster etc.

If anyone wants to recommend a serious host, let me know. But we've switched twice already and don't plan on doing it again.

One.com isn't a small company @ all, I've been using them a long time already.

Godaddy is a disaster in navigating within their backoffice, agreed, however, its just setting things initially which is a headache, but they have an excellent customer service for that.

Once you use them, you just use phpmyadmin and an ftp program.

They are slow, hence I told you to ask for the new grid.

A couple of thousand hits a day is a joke for a server, and some scripts must be doing some unneeded loops or so.

I'm responsible for a bunch of sites, also with much heavier traffic with streaming audio and video.

A quick question: do you keep on updating/upgrading the forum to newer versions, dragging along the old mods, or do you just keep the data, and install new version from scratch?

If you don't start every now and then from scratch, well then you will be running into more problems soon.

Do as you like, just know that I've had forums in the past with more members (on one.com), and it worked like a charm.

I'm sure you've had, and I understand that dansdeals.com and the forums are a drop in the bucket compared to whats out there as far as blogs and forums, but one.com just doesn't seem to be the solution. We don't upgrade the forums often. Only the old version and this version. We don't have too many plugins. I just need time one of these months to go through everything and see what's causing it.

Easier would be to install on a different place (or sub sub folder if a lot of sql's), make a clean install, and if its good, you copy paste the forum to dd.com/forums/ , and change the link to database in batch.(I'd use for the latter edit plus, the best editor around).

One.com is cheap, and runs very well, and a lovely admin panel. If you want ask if you can pay them more to make it look better.

The two quotes are different? In what way?

It seems it's just that file (modesetting.php) that is causing the issue. No other pages are having problems. There is no way to tell the cache not to cache that page...unfortunately. I noticed that the modesettings.php file was modified from the original to support our extra profile field of  "programs" and I switched it back to the original but we are still having issues. I think we'll move back to no caching until we can find a better solution. Thanks to the people who reported the errors.

Weird. You may have click one of the links all the way at the bottom, which set you as mobile.
