Pinside is not dying! It's more alive than it ever was - in fact, there's too many of you and the server is simply struggling during peak hours. Working on upgrades, stay tuned

Quoted from Skypilot:Robin,not sure if this is relative ? Even when I sign off Pinside shows me as logged on.
I realize I'm on here alot but not 24/7
That's because the query looks at the last 20 or 30 minutes of activity (I'm not sure what it was). So it takes a while before you fall of the list of active Pinsiders.
Quoted from DEWSHO:Maybe as the site grows Robin could have images offsite like Reddit does? On Imgur or something similar?
One of the things I'm investigating is a more scalable storage, as Pinside keeps running out of disk space on the main server. I'm currently looking at utilising Amazon S3 storage for all file uploads.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Of course it can happen on all three... It's most likely to be a dropped packet or a server that never sent anything. Sploogified is my fancy term for "lost in the ether".
That's when most people's code will wait forever for the return (why you see the spinning circle forever, even though the post has been made).
The two paragraphs were meant to be de-coupled, I probably could have written it better. I didn't blame a specific browser, but I am definitely recommending chrome for all the reasons I listed. That was done in response to some people saying they use Firefox.
The issue with the spinning "posting your reply" message is not browser related, it's the server struggling when it's busy. I did build in a timeout check but this appears to not be working, I will look into this and try to fix it asap!
