Database Tests Complete (for tonight)

Hi everybody,

Our testing identified a table in the database that was causing problems with server performance.  It was not a table that contained any vital user data, so we were able to rebuild the table into a new version, and performance on the site has improved dramatically.  Additionally, database errors seem to have been resolved, but we will continue to test to make sure that there are no further problems.

Thanks for your patience,

The DiaryMaster

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Hahaha. So much for no more problems. At least the mobile site works.

Why can I access OD on my phone but on my comp it’s still down?

October 18, 2010

Thanks!

Hello. I can apparently read OD on my phone but not on my laptop. I am getting the message online “Microsoft VBScript runtime error ‘800a01a8’ Object required: ” /includes/dbdisconnect.inc, line 2″ Is the site fixed or are certain chunks of it still offline?

Same problem here DM, I’m accessing the site mobile, but on my computer it still shows it down 🙁

October 18, 2010

same here, mobile site works but not the computer version.

main page still says “Active Server Pages error ‘ASP 0126’ Include file not found /bookmarks.asp, line 2 The include file ‘includesdbconnect.inc’ was not found. ” when I try on firefox. (accessing this via the mobile site!)

So is the main site ever coming back up? I mean, “database errors”…that’s pretty vague, and you’re being pretty quiet about it. Is this the end of OD? Might as well be.

Same here I am accessing the site via my computer but using m.opendiary.com the mobile site

This is bullsh*t, just so you know.

^^^ What she said.

Thanks, DM! People apparently seem to forget that you can’t just snap your fingers and voila! all is fixed again. Technology doesn’t work that way. THANKS!!

Can only view od thru my cell.

What joyful.girl said. Also, m.opendiary works but not the main site – still. As a few other noters pointed out already. I think that you should offer everyone the opportunity to download their diary in ANY format, even if they aren’t paying members. I don’t want to lose my diary, or pay to download it in a decent format because I’m nervous with the site being down so often and with a serious lack of updates/contact. Let us download our dia

Yes, it’s weird that I am accessing it on a computer but through m.opendiary.com but yet the normal site doesn’t work. What’s the go? It’s been days.

October 18, 2010

Same issue here – able to access it through m.opendiary.com but not through the main page. At least I know all is not lost, which is good…

October 18, 2010

Any idea when the regular full site will be up and running……

I am also here on my ‘puter, through m.opendiary.com. I am glad it should be back full throttle soon. Thanks for all your hard work!!!! BigHugz.

October 18, 2010

I’m so glad OD is back. I hope for good. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Again people you have to give the DM a chance to get the rest of the kinks out of what happened! You can’t just expect a site to work top glorious notch after an outage happened all the time. You have to learn to think of these things too! If you really love the site for what it is and what you think you do then just. be. grateful. for. it! Be grateful it’s up at all! Stop constantly dwelling
