5.1.4 Causing Multiple Issues

[DisasterDotCom]

Since upgrading from 5.1.3 to 5.1.4 I've received several comments from users:

• Error dialog boxes with no description - they just say Error. They usually occur when replying to a thread.
• "The search feature can take an eternity or fail to complete all together. At other times, it works fine. I don't recall seeing this behavior before the upgrade."
• "I posted a thread today about the downed airplane, and had added a link to my post, and the first time I posted it, I think it just ate the post. I had copied it just in case; so I posted it again,and then it said this was a duplicate and I can't post for another 5 minutes. After little bit, I came back and posted the mesage again. this time, it didn't go through again, but it left a message at the top that said the post had to be moderated. that was about 3 hours ago, and the post is still not there, and I have no idea why this would have happened.
  I wrote another post to see if it was just me, and that post went through just fine; so I am still mystified about what happened to the first one, or why ? ?"

All three bullets were from moderators, so they are very familiar with the board's behavior. We've also received similar messages from non-moderators.

Anyone else seeing similar issues since the upgrade?

This is what I'm getting in the PHP log on the searches that fail:

[02-Jan-2015 10:44:50 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 180 seconds exceeded in /srv/www.disaster.com/forums/includes/vb5/template/nodetext.php on line 425

I get a blank page (with the background color set) in the browser. For certain words, like "Ebola", it's pretty consistent. I have deleted and rebuilt the search index.

I'm also getting a lot of these... they may correspond to the error message mentioned above:

[02-Jan-2015 09:25:07 America/New_York] PHP Notice: Undefined index: arguments in /srv/www.disaster.com/forums/core/vb5/route.php on line 167

Bump. May have gotten buried over the holidays.

Are these issues still occurring?

[DisasterDotCom]

Yes and no. I rebuilt the search index and it seems to be behaving better, but the rest of the issues are still occurring.

Do you have the guest cache enabled? Can you try disabling it?
