How Can We Make The Site Better?

[Buk 10]

James!....not sure whether it's just us experiencing this problem.....but, there appears to be a delay (anything up to 30-40 odd seconds) when flipping thru the pages on the site??

 

we've also experienced connection drops when attempting to load attachments on the odd posting......the drop also occurs now & then when trying to navigate between threads?!!

 

anyone else notice this?

I noticed that every once in a while, after clicking a link, I will get the "Site not found" browser page. I have seen this before and my best guess is that it has something to do with the MySQL database. It may need to be "Optimized" and "Repair any errors".

Hey Bukk and Robert,

 

Are you still experiencing delay in the site? I disabled some unnecessary features and repaired the MySQL database. The site runs fine from my computer. Yesterday I was installing a blog system which caused the site to shut down temporarily and remain slow. Please let me know if the delay is still there... I may need to upgrade my server. Thanks

Robert: thanks for the reply...........

 

James: yeah, still experiencing delay thus far.......I'll keep an eye on it into the w/end, see if there's an improvement........

 

it's no biggy James....there are worse things than the odd time-out delay/connection drop!

 

I just wondered if the problem was surfacing from our end that's all.........

Thanks Buk. Ill keep making some adjustments this week to lighten the server load. I will also look into upgrading my server. Will need to spend some time researching it and shopping around.

I am experiencing pages that hang up to a minute sometimes - broadband 2 hours from you James in Miyagi prefecture.

As I write this, the page is still half loaded.

 

James how can I disable e-mail notification of replies to threads?

Hello Dr Who,

 

Definitely going to look into the page load time. Since we are in Japan.... Hikari!!! FASTTT.

 

Also to disable email notification go to My Account > Edit Options > Default Thread Subscription Mode. Set it to unsubscribe.

Thanks James.

My computer has a Pentium 4, 3 Gig HT processor with 512 megbytes ram so pretty grunty on the processor side.

Hey guys,

 

Over the weekend I fixed up a slight coding in the core system of the forum. Ive been testing it out and it seems to run 2-3x faster now. Is it just me or is everyone experiencing faster loading time?

[TinGull 10]

things seem all good here

[torero 10]

Much better now. Lately I've been getting hung after posting. Now seems much better. Thought you weren't a coder?

I just upgraded my server to a new one so the lag should disappear. Please let me know if you guys still experience a slow loading time. Thanks
