OurTown Problem!!!!


Listeners of the World,

Almost all large trafficked websites encounter problems from time to time and OurTown.com is no exception to this rule! We have discovered an error that seems to be appearing on some of our sites that have overloaded front pages. While we encourage all of our local editors to have the most information on their pages, it looks like this encouragement is the source of the problem! We have had our programming team hard at work, trying out different possible solutions, but to no avail the problem consists. We also decided right away that it would be a good idea to have an error page show when this problem happens, but this is not working either! It seems that the browser is becoming overloaded and giving up which times out the rest of the page. Now with the browser doing this there are no error messages sent back to the code so the error message never appears. Well today it looks like we have finally made some process by upgrading some of the hardware and expanding out to use multiple servers while loading one page. We are looking forward to seeing great improvements in on this problem over the coming week and will keep everyone updated!

Your OurTown Superhero,

Chris
