First off…
Happy New Year!!
2011 is gone and now we have a new year of great 3DX works to look forward to! We’ll make sure 2012 is gonna be a big year for Affect3D with some major changes taking place in the upcoming months! Before we get to that, we have a quick announcement regarding the recent issues.
The Errors
We’ve been experiencing a bit of a rocky start to the New Year as some of you will be experiencing issues navigating the site due to either ‘404 No page Found’ and ‘500 Internal Server Errors’. Due to the sudden increase in traffic, our server is having trouble maintaining the amount of visitors coming to the site. Because of that, we want to formally apologize for the inconvenience this is causing. We’re currently looking into the problem and we hope to have a solution as soon as we can.
The solution
Until then, if you’re getting either of these errors, simply refresh (press F5 Windows), this will fix the problem 99% of the time. If that doesn’t work, then you can contact us at [email protected] or [email protected].
We appreciate everyone who takes the time to visit Affect 3D and we hope to have this resolved as soon as possible. In the meantime, enjoy this bonus pic of Tara as a way to ease the pain 🙂
Oh and ‘Tara’s First Assignment – Part 4’ is coming soon =)

January 10, 2012I’m getting a 404 just for this page right now:

One thing I noticed is that you are using a WordPress permalink structure that could cause you problems. It looks like you’re using /%category%/%postname%/ which requires a lot more work from the server:

Actually, that’s probably resolved in 3.3 now:

I would suggest running YSlow and Google Page Speed though because there are other caching and compression things that could speed up the page load times.

January 10, 2012Thanks for pointing this out. We are running 3.3 so that shouldn’t be an issue. We’re also running the usual caching and such. The underlying issue is obviously the fact that we’ve outgrown our new host a lot quicker than we’d hoped, so upgrading again may be the only option sooner than later. We’ll also look into YSlow and see if that helps.
In the meantime I would suggest clearing your cache or trying a different browser to access the page, because it’s definitely still working most of the time.

About the problem, you’re probably gonna have to upgrade servers.

January 5, 2012We were hoping we didn’t have to as we upgraded only recently, but we may need to go that path.
