If you don't see the message "Welcome to the new server!" at the top of the screen, you're not on the new servers yet. DNS has to work its magic across the web before everyone will get to the new servers.

Netbros, it looks like it works fine on the first page load, but then unlike the other pages, the last-visited time gets updated on the first pageview of MeTa so those numbers get reset. (In other words, the first time I come to MeTa, I see the right number of new links/comments in the top right as well as the right number of new comments next to the bottom line of each thread... but on all subsequent pageviews, it knows I've been here and resets them to 0 and doesn't display them.) This is unlike the behavior of Ask and Mefi, yep...

While the front pages loaded ok for me I had to CTRL+F5 reload them in order for any of the internal links off them to load. Maybe try that.

Now I tell you how we fly to America.—Chico Marx, A Night at the Opera
The first time, we get halfway across when we run out of gasoline. We got to go back.
Then I take twice as much gasoline. This time, we were just about to land, maybe feet... when, what do you think, we run out of gasoline again.
Back we go and get more gas. This time, I take plenty gas. We get halfway over, when what do you think happened? We forgot the airplane.
So we sit down and talk it over. Then I get the great idea... we no take gasoline. We no take the airplane. We take steamship. And that, friends, is how we fly across the ocean.

Google Web Text (first stop after clicking "show original item" from GReader on thee iPhone with "format web pages for viewing on mobile phone" option) insists that the server isn't responding. Clicking through to MeFi has it all right (on the old server). Is this just Google having the new server IP, or did Google get blackballed or something?

Nope, they've been separate since late 2004. We're just having issues with apache on the new web server, so we have the old web server serving up the sites right now, but using a new database server.

The new db server has a bit more oomph (dual quad or eight core at 2ghz) than the previous version, so the speediness could just be from all the much faster queries taking place.

Memory will make a huge difference as well if it can cache the most commonly requested stuff. The fact that page views are customized by user and your DB server process is remote can make caching strategies very complicated, though, but more memory is always a good thing.

Anytime you see "The request has exceeded the allowable time limit" in the message somewhere that's code for "The server is bogged down." These are always a temporary error that will correct themselves once the server is back up to speed. Lately that requires a services restart, and we have them about once every hour.
Our move to new hardware should get rid of these timeout errors, and hopefully that will happen in the next few days.

davey_darling, that's because you have 7 billion favorites.

Day 3: still no Metafilter.
backseatpilot, have you looked into HOSTS file hacking? You can command your computer to visit the right server using that.

desjardins: You are probably correct - I just tried looking at your favourites in exactly the same way and it worked fine.

A possibly insignificant data point to add to the pile, since I know it's been said before that LoFi is not being actively maintained - but it doesn't seem to be picking up deleted posts any more.

Ooh, I figured it out. A ctrl+F5 seems to have cleared out the pipes.
Back to slacking!

yhbc, you are correct that you shouldn't rely on any feature at all being present in lofi, as it's not an official or maintained page. And pb addressed the lack of deleted threads here, so you're right, it's the new reality.

Mmm, yeah. I was going to mention the lofi thing too, 'cause that's what I browse on my BlackBerry, but .. shit. Whatever.

Anybody else seeing "32 of 45 favorites" etc. in the Popular Favorites tab? I must have missed something. What's that about?

jabberjaw, at the top of the Popular Favorites page there's this: "Here's a quick guide to what the numbers mean."

And yeah, the favorites count isn't very intuitive. You just have to learn what they mean. It'd be nice if we could find a way to show the counts without needing to link to the FAQ to explain them.

Why not x favorites in time selected out of y total?

Don't forget to turn your DNS timeouts back up, now that the dust has settled. :)
