I am currently getting intermittent connection problems.  I assume that this is a related issue

Yes - I am working it.

Probably rebooting / may be down for an hour or two during the night.

A clear restart / reboot during the night ... and I think we're running OK (famous last words!).   

Technical note: The combination of software versions we're running with - old (open source) code logic on a bed of more recent operating system and utilities  - is not as stable as I would wish and occasional restarts tidy things up.   Work done to clear an instability the other day had left the restart procedure calling for a service that wasn't available so the other night the restart locked up while it waited - it timed out / gave up after 30 minutes or so; I made pessimistic provision in last night's estimates that this could happen again - however, it seems that the fix I had applied to replace the service call actually worked, so that the gap in service caused by the restart was/is no longer noticeable.

In English:  I can fall asleep quickly, but not as quickly as the server can restart  Grin Grin and in any case it's all working automatically again once the process is kicked off.

Famous last words, indeed ... I need to take a further look.   Good news is that the fiddling should not involve significant downtime.

when posting on the thread ... however, I've had a couple of funnies while doing some admin work and notice there's been a gap in posts - so have rebooted the server.   To some extent, this is a test post - as well as an apology if others have had issues.

Graham,
I am seeing some posts with just a white page, eg second page of the charlbury platform extensions is completely blank (white, no banner etc) but the index page is indicating that there are posts there.

And if you say "print" ... you see the posts.  Noting an earlier post reporting problems with at attachment ... I suspect that's a clue.

I'm going to give you no confidence in what I'm doing by saying "never seen it do that before" ... but I am pretty sure the problem is limited to a single thread and won't spread.

Phew!  ... I have my suspicions / will look during the night when the forum is quiet and I can add test code and turn debug flags on.  If anyone has any further examples please let me know.

Only page I have seen is page 2 of Charlbury.  It did not load last night, but I left it to see if it loaded today.

I've had the same issue with that thread.  I was going to post that it looks like the end of March aspiration for the new platform extensions opening is heading towards an end of April one!
