Notification issues

We realize that there have been some issues with notifications and other things while the site is running slow during peak hours. We have put in a couple of fixes to help alleviate this problem. We have been on top of it the whole time, just have not been able to communicate it out to the end users due to a lack of time.

  Squeaky did say this on Facebook:
  
  Yes we are aware of the recent bout of outages. It is the database continuing to act up. We are looking for a permanent solution that doesn't involve taking the site offline for an extended period.
  
  Just so everyone knows we do restart the database 6 times a day to help alleviate the problem. So if you see an outage at the top of an hour, try again in 5 minutes. We know about any extended outages within 30 minutes.

    Ahh; well, not everybody uses Facebook: didn't even know that Squeaky had an account at a competing blog site.
    
    The refresh-the-page solution still does jack; the server time-outs. X3

      He's mentioned the IJ Facebook page several times, actually, as recently as a couple of months ago: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/announcements/80314.html
      
      Works for me, but your mileage may vary
