ubonjoe Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It is a migration to a different server provided by the forum software suppliers and they will be responsible for maintenance and etc. That puts any problems on the their back. TechDoctor will be overseeing what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Thaivisa has members and non-member readers in almost all time zones one could say that the sun never sets on Thaivisa. It is safe to assume that the times given in the announcement are for the time zone applicable for Thailand, ie UTC+7, aka Indochina Time (ICT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAKAPALITA Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Will be a sad day when TV is fixed. I will be forced to read Brit Driving Licences in the Car section for enlightened opinions. Fear not though Thai Visa Connect will still take another 6 years. Dont realy believe that even when fixed it will still have more useless clutter than our eldest Daughters Bedroom.

It is safe to assume that the times given in the announcement are for the time zone applicable for Thailand, ie UTC+7, aka Indochina Time (ICT) funny that nobody posted about what the problem was. I once got caught with one of my forums in the "cloud server" trap - supposedly these servers are fast because they store content in RAM, but databases are typically stored on "storage arrays" located on different machines. What happens then is that there is a bottleneck of I/O bandwidth between webserver and database server and database-intensive applications slow down with similar symptoms as those shown by ThaiVisa. I/O bandwidth can be simply checked on Linux using the dd command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 As usual no explanation and outage still listed. As we are still at thaivisa.com/forum there has not been the planned switch. Or we have time traveled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got so used to not seeing them I hadn't even noticed. Either that or I need new glasses. Perhaps it is time to buy a guide stick and a white dog. I hope the dog can drive a pickup truck.

There were complaints made about Thai Visa being down while the storm was causing problems for our members or people just looking for info. It will likely be done early next week.

balo Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 I'm just happy they canceled it. After the site suddenly " fixed itself", everything is running smoothly. I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
