Massive Site Issues: Help?

Entire site is a disaster

Monday, July 11, 2005 by TheOtherGods | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

Hey all.

What is happening with Wincustomize?

For about a week now, I cant even navigate this site... every time I come here, the entire site is "broken-up", images not showing up or loading, load times (for whatever does load, just text, mainly) is totally lagged-out, and if I'm able to even open a page for a WB skin, the image wont load at all when clicked.

The entire site is a horrible disaster, obviously the CSS used for the site isn't working (layout and large text tell that tale) and it's completely unusable! Gah!

I'm using IE6, am having no problems anywhere/any way else and have seen this happen once or twice briefly, but never last this long. I could barely get here to create this post.

Are you guys aware this is happening? And will it be fixed soon?

Dying to get some new skins!

Thanks.

Pat...would this 'bug' have the capability of locking up IExplore.exe?

Well, I don't think any site bug should be able to lockup IE.  However, it may expose a bug in IE where IE does lockup   But with that said, I have seen IE hang when WC is having problems.  So it is possible that this problem we are having may be related to IE locking up.

Strangely....what seems to happen is when it's locked up it becomes unskinned [loses WB] ...non responsive....then when I open taskmanager there's 2 instances of it both 'not responding'.

I kill them and reload and it's fine....till the next time....

I am getting frequent "server too busy" error messages along with several other intermitent errors. Navigating this site has been a nightmare for the last two days.

Jafo, I've had the same happen to me....but not just with explorer becoming unresponsive and showing 2 instances in taskmanager....so maybe it's an internal thing rather than an external. ThemeManager is another that freezes on me and shows 2 entries when only one instance can be running. This has been a very recent thing and I wonder if it's somehow connected to recent OD updates, as this has only been occurring since the last updates around a week ago.

Hopefully somebody can find an answer

At last... I've tried to display this topic about 20 times now, and finally it would show more
than the first post before throwing out a Timeout, or a HttpException with the same cause, or "there is no postings as this time" (something like that),Server is too busy and so on.. quite irritating when it happens a lot.. Earlier I have been quite lucky with regards to the timeout problems, but now.. no such luck anymore..

I have that error as well
Server Error in '/' Application.
File or assembly name zhdp21ll, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
I know mine might be cause i have some MS Beta software on my machine but i have been able to surf to every other page with no issues what so ever. I have a .NET Framework of 2.0 running. Like i said no other error on any other pages except this one. Any news on what the problem might be?

**Update**
I just updated my video drivers and so far have been able to navigate the site with no problems. I will keep you informed. BTW i have a nVidia GeForce 6800 video card.

Amidst speculation that updating with Windows Update or other software upgrades will solve those type of errors, it should be known that the particular error where the server is complaining about an assembly is a compilation error. It's mere coincidence that your pc was updated in some way shape or form, at the exact time that the error was resolved by one of us forcing a recompilation on the server

I have seen some related issues using Firefox that I had tweaked to allow more simultaneous requests to the server. When I dropped my number of threads down from 16 to 8 some of the problems went away.

It does look like a firewall problem. And also, somebody is writing on your monitor with a pen and some white out.
Honestly, do you have a firewall running? Disable it and see if you have the same problems.
