Morrowind

Site problems today

Update
The backup has been restored and everything seems to be working again. Please note that the backup was from 10am GMT, so any posts made between 10am and 2PM GMT today will have, unfortunately, have been lost in the restore process. Apologies for this issue, but if it's any consolation, the table corruption has now been fixed! Yay!

Original post
I've been working hard today trying to fix an issue with a key database table that has become corrupted. I still haven't fixed the issue and I'm having to revert to a database backup made about 4 hours ago. This means that forum posts and file and image comments from the past 4 hours will "go missing", never to return.

I've brought the sites back online so you can still use almost all the functionality during this time consuming process, but please be aware that file and image comments will currently be blank. I'm obviously aware of this issue and working hard to fix it!

    Ive been a Nexus user since Morrowind first came out and have had my fair share of frustration on days when Nexus is overloaded so its not exactly news when a mod cannot be downloaded on the same day you see it because of this overload ! lol thou i would suggest a mirror site as this might reduce the overload 'just a suggestion'. oh an steam I keep it in off line mode if I put it to online id feel as if someone was 'perm' looking over my shoulder. folks who look over my shoulder in an internet cafe get a squashed nose.

    Comparing Steam Workshop to Nexus is like bringing a plastic knife to a gun fight

    The Nexus site is way better then steam Workshop. It just does get annoying when we look at files, and would like to discuss them and we can not. We like to check out discriptions, and pics in said mods, and we can not. We would like to bypass the site, and get on the site through the NMM and we can not.

    Skyrim portion is famous for not responding, and all we get is a notification stateing that the servers are answering over 500 posts per second, and how excited Nexus is about Skyrims success, and sorry for the inconveiance. I say its about time to create a better server, do to the success of Skyrim. If Nexus had a faster server, then all the waiting will be over. People will soon get tired of not being able to advertise any of their great mods, do to the Nexus site being overloaded, and not responding, and will move on to a different mod site like, Steam Workshop.

    Since Skyrim is fairly new and many modders of Nexus moved onto Skyrim Nexus. That site is the one that only works sometimes, It is to overloaded and it can not handle the traffic. It is getting old.

    I'd choose this site over the steam workshop any day.

    Good work for such a fast fix. My experience is that restore is just a lead-in to more banging on the monitor (I so miss the big monitors that could be hit and take the damage). I appreciate your effort and we are back in action.
    I'm thinking a corrupt table must be one that provides information you said there to your enemies for a price. Betrayal and money under the table.

    I was wondering, is the NMM so very different from FOMM? I have tried NMM and I find a great many more features in FOMM and they both tend to do the same thing, install mods. I don't mean any disrespect to the makers of NMM. I will have to look at the Youtube tutorial and see what kind of features NMM has.

    When you have a consistently stable-running website with traffic consisting of millions of hits a week, with content that eats your bandwidth up everyday, you may complain.

    Uh. My downloads were stalled in the middle of the night. None of the downloads from the 4 other sites I was using, or my bittorrent downloads had any trouble. Only Nexus.

    Don't forget the pony jokes and Minecraft references.
