Posts and threads take from a minute to half an hour to appear on forums.

The same for reviews, which not only take ages to appear, but sometimes my edits wont appear at all. (and some reviews inexplicably disappear)

Updating our lists is also a torturous experience, either they're laggy or they simply don't update at all.

Maybe I missed this, but is there a reason why MAL is incredibly slow and laggy? It's extremely frustrating.

yup, it's taking about 5-7 minutes to show posts, and I think even the web irc is down.

No, it's not just you, but apparently it's all because of a MySQL error.

Sorry guys, but I have to bump this because MAL is driving me insane lately. Does anyone know why MAL is like this? Was there an official announcement or something that I missed?

Yep, votes on polls are indeed slow, and a post of mine half an hour ago still hasn't appeared.

Seems like this site has been acting kinda strange because messages keep getting weird numbers comment appears later than 6 minutes or half an hour...
A simple question I wanna ask is there someone in this site that is doing this by mistake... or maybe it just naturally has too many users that it is currently lacking... so thanks thats all I wanna ask ^_^"...

Hello,,

I'm having few problems which I've never faced before so I don't know if its just me or something is wrong with the server here,

I've updated some entries in my anime list but nothing changed its not updated, also.. when I try to deny/accept club invitations I see that it successfully went ok but I'm still not a member in any of the clubs I joined, plus I kept answering and deleting some messages that kept coming back even though I deleted them -_-

can someone please help me, or at least just explain if its with everyone and you are working on it,,

Thank you~ :)

I've actually experienced this issue a few days ago. I'm not sure if the two incidents are related, but I believe what you guys are experiencing is a lag. Posts, reviews, edits are all taken in by the site, but won't appear until some time later.

In my case, I found that the club comments I deleted wouldn't disappear until a considerable amount of time after I've actually deleted them. This was also the same with edited entries and posted in threads.

The best advice I could give is to wait and see if whatever you've submitted that didn't immediately show appears at a later time. Also, if you're working on a review or a recommendation that you wouldn't want to risk disappearing, take measures to save it on a different medium for the meantime.

And please please do not keep performing the same act. If your post doesn't appear, don't keep posting. Chances are that they'll end up showing and you'll eventually have more than one posts that say the same thing.

"Thanks Divinegate91.

In other developments there has been a noticeable increase in frustrated fapping, mostly in the SPAM quarter, over to HooHiraiBunny for more on that. HooHiraiBunny?

---

"Yes! Yes...I can hear you."

---

"HooHiraiBunny, what can you tell us about the fapping situation?"

---

"Yes...Yes I can hear you...."

---

"Uh, it seems we're having technical difficulties with HooHiraiBunny. We'll try to continue later HooHiraiBunny, thanks."

---

"Yes....I can't hear you actually, I'm sorry...there's too much fapping, the noise is just..."

---

"Yes, anyway. In other news, the amount of people refusing to read manga or watch anime simply because they cant update their lists is increasing rapidly. It seems they are so dependant on MAL and its database, that even anime producers in Japan are worried about the current lagging problem. Over to the manager of an anime store in downtown Tokyo, Mr Inamoto..."

---

"Yes the current fapping problem is indeed huge here..."

---

"Uh, no sir I said 'lagging' problem..."

---

"Yes, fapping problem. The streets are just awash..."

---

"And now for the weather."

Editing or adding to my lists takes 35 minutes. And I've just received 47 of the exact same messages. (Possibly more if the delete button is working.)

Anything related to the database has a large delay. Just do your business and check back in 20 mins to see if the changes took affect.

Recently I noticed my posts in discussions are not showing up, or they would take FOREVER to show up. Also the same thing is happening with polls. Even though I voted, when I come back to the page it's still asking me to vote instead of showing me the results. What's up with that?


Please fix, thank you.
