MyGamerCard Problems

[GamerMan316]

I've noticed quite a lot of problems on the forums when showing our respective gamercards, so i've been on their forums, this is what I found.

Since more and more people are asking questions, it sounds like it's time to make a post about the MGC GamerCard service.
First, let me apologize for not posting about this sooner, but my attention has been mostly focused on testing and attempting to resolve the issues.

Over the weekend, a number of upgrades had taken place to the existing servers. It seems that all of them have been impacted in some way, but none moreso than the 'primary' GamerCard server, which has taken on some very odd issues. Most of the up-and-down nature of the servers have been due to me attempting to dive into what the deal is.

Just be aware that I am absolutely on top of it, and actively attempting to solve it. Most of my waking hours have been devoted to investigation and testing, and I haven't had more than 4 - 5 hours of sleep any night this week. Since any changes I make require at least 30 - 60 minutes of 'warm-up' time to gauge the effects, it's been fairly slow-going. One large downside to being the creator of many of the technologies that make much of MGC possible is that there are often no resources to consult when things go wrong!

In the interim, I've brought up one of the older servers to help deal with the load. This will also give me an opportunity to study how it holds up versus the current machines, once it starts serving a decent number of requests. Right now I don't know if it's Operating System-related, webserver-related, interpreter-related, etc. Once I get more data, I can potentially fix the problem once and for all.

I deeply thank you for your patience. Things will likely be bumpy for the next few days, but be assured that I'll do everything in my power to get things running as smoothly as you're used to.

GM your sig is amazing but it killed my work internet which is running off a dongle.

You should have the little Berbatov flick on the corner line, where he rounded the defender with a deft flick and chipped to Ronaldo to smack home! That's class.

Or a certain Giggsy run

Or...

Suddenly I feel nauseous.

I found the Berbaskill    against West Ham on the goal line but it was from an angle where do you don't really see the flick properly, as soon as I find it i'll stick it on here, i like the current Berba one because he makes Crybaby Terry look like a fool & that's always a good thing

See if you can find the video of the world's worst left back lobbing Van Der Sar.

I don't ever recall Ashley Cole lobbing Van Der Sar
