You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
I'm repeatedly getting this error when trying to open threads:
500 Server Error
FastCGI Handler Extension
Error 0x80070102 occurred processing request.
The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout.
Refreshing often helps in getting to the target page despite it. Sometimes trying later is required though. It appears before the metadirect intermediary page gets displayed.

I have an open service ticket for the FastCGI issue. I'm leaning on the host as much as I can to get this resolved permanently. Please bear with me while I threaten them to the best of my ability.
The same issue has been affecting Nifty off-and-on for the past 48 hours or so, so it's getting the attention is deserves from my end.

Could someone please fill us in on what the problem was? Perhaps a little transparency would go a long way in this matter. We are currently hosting several domains with several thousand regular users between them. We cannot just throw our hands up in dismay, we need something to tell our users. Your lack of information has made us look _very_ irresponsible and/or incompetent to several whole online communities.

We had recently enabled some PHP modules and apparently these were the cause of the problems you experienced.

Code: Select all

Okay thread breakage demonstrated in the nWoD post is caused by unatched quote tags in posts.
A fix is to enforce the matching of all tags in the post with some sort of input validation. so each close needs to be matched by an open etc.

Just to clarify what you mean here... do you mean when somebody puts a quote tag in a thread but doesn't have a /quote to close it?cthulhu wrote:Okay thread breakage demonstrated in the nWoD post is caused by unatched quote tags in posts.

Yup. Sorry not to be clear. You can fairly easily reproduce it.
Start a new thread with a post with something in it.
Then follow up with
Then the formating breaks. And if you follow that up with a post with
It fixes itself. You can see it in the test thread I've posted in this forum.
It appears to happens with quote tags too, it correctly doesn't do anything with non matching

Okay, any rogue quote tags, either [quote] or [/quote] Completely break the forum.
Suggested fix:
As either the open or closing tags break the forum if not part of a pair, I suggest you either need to
A) Strip out unmatched pairs of quote tags
B) disable unmatched pairs of quote tags similar to what happens if I add a random

C) Add opening or closing tags as required to the start or end of the post respectively.
B is clearly the optimal solution, but any would work .
