NHRA WEBSITE issues (1 Viewer)

[perf n restore]

We all need to express our sincere disappointment with the website performance this past weekend. If we dont let the NHRA know that they have a serious problem, they wont fix it.

"As a PAYING member, you seriously need to get new servers. Could not connect without serious delay.

I think there should be an announcement to members stating what is being done to address this situation."

LET THEM KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM

 

[JF]

That would be a great idea, IF NHRA CARED ABOUT ANYTHING BESIDES NHRA AND MONEY.

In my opinion, it was a ploy to drive the 10's of thousands of fans to the ESPN2 show to pump up their dredfull ratings.

What's wrong with: Drag Race Central | Presented by Summitracing.com 1-800-230-3030 ?

I learned a long time ago this is the place to get NHRA results quickly.

Drag Race Central is a fine site, unless you want to listen in to the live audio feed, which was something I couldn't do at all on Thursday. The site was dead-in-the-water useless to me. I gave up for the rest of the weekend.

I'm NOT a paying Member anymore... I'm now, once again, the person they are trying to attract... after 5 years I let it Drop... just didn't see any value-added to being a member... Don't think they need new servers, I had no problem getting on Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday.

sometimes, I have as much trouble opening Comp-plus... but maybe that's because I'm trying to get in as Bobby is uploading new content... 6am lmao

When it works, locked up my computer and a couple of others on multiple occasions on Sunday.

It's not improving. Was just now trying to connect to NHRA.com for getting some information for the Gators but was met by "Server error" and "Runtime Error".

Same here this morning, Par. What a freakin' joke. It is either hit or miss. Last night, everything loaded rather quickly. Now it's back to "runtime error".

Now it's:

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

IIRC, this is a Microsoft IIS error issue, making NHRA.com one of about 2% of major websites using Microsoft software while the vast majority sites use Linux/Apache. Wonder why that choice was made?

 

[Paul]

Both the website and the App are not working.

Huh? Where did you get those stats?

Windows is +70% while Linux is +20% of the server market. My profession is web development and I can't count the number of web sites I have converted to .NET Framework which requires a Windows server.

Btw, most "server issues" are admin and/or programming issues, once the server is properly setup and running, it is very rare for it to fail.

Exaggeration for effect, I apologize. But I can't find server market share statistics that show IIS anywhere even near 25%, and it's declining. Here's the million busiest sites on the net:

You'd think after 12 years they'd have this sorted out by now. I remember their site crashing frequently way back in '99 when I got my first PC and high-speed internet.

I hate to see companies (or similar organizations) do "dumb stuff" (especially ones I like).

You'd think any outfit (that gave a flying fig about their "customer") would monitor a site like Nitromater a post a "Mea Culpa" with a brief explanation as-soon-as-possible after a SNAFU like this.

Somebody in Admin Management needs to pay attention.

Maybe I missed it but, I didn't see any explanation on their OWN site either.
