Question on Performance

[Chris]

Hope this is the place to ask. Move if not.

I seem to get a lot of time outs on this forum. I click a link t go to a post or a button to reply or whatever, and the hourglass just spins and eventually I get an error.

Are others experiencing this slow performance?

[jgreer]

Yes

[Mister D]

I have as well. I thought the slow speed was on my end but I guess not. I also get frequent server errors.

[Conley]

It's been bad for me since Friday night I think. Certainly Saturday and Sunday.

[MMC]

Same here. Sucks when it gets caught after one hits reply to the post.

[Conley]

I actually posted about this yesterday but this was a better place to do it. Good job Chris.

[Chris]

Yes, about since Friday.

[Mister D]

Same here. Sucks when it gets caught after one hits reply to the post.

Yes! Same here. I though that was my crappy PC at home.

[ADMIN]

Thank you for notifying us. We are aware of the problem and are working on it.

[Chris]

Thanks!!

[Conley]

I haven't had any trouble for the last couple of hours. Hopefully it stays smooth like this.

[Peter1469]

Yes, it has smoothed out in the last few hours.

[CoLibertarian]

It's been bad for me since Friday night I think. Certainly Saturday and Sunday.

Hmmm - just about the time I arrived. Is it my fault?

Yes I've been having this problem periodically too.

[CoLibertarian]

Have a great week you all! I do not know how much I can post during the week, as I am a little busy, but hopefully I can catch up on the weekend.

I do believe that happiness is a state of mind and is the closest one can get to heaven in this material world. That state of mind is dependent upon how we perceive this world. Instead of getting angry at that a-hole that cut us off on the road, if we just dismiss it as someone in a hurry, it can help us tremendously.

Just my suggestion for the week. Start or each day thinking positively, and see if that doesn't make your week better! Good luck and best wishes!

[Chris]

It's not as bad, doesn't time out, but some clicks spin for a while before getting results. To get to this page took perhaps 30 seconds.

Will look for your return C-Lib. Watch yourself out there. It's great having ya around! :wink:

[Mister D]

Seems fine this morning.

[Mister D]

We may have gotten a lot of weekend traffic.

[Conley]

No problems on my end so far.

[Conley]

Maybe it really was Co-Lib! :laugh:

[Mister D]

:grin: I think we may be getting a lot more traffic and no surpirse it peaked on the weekend.

[ADMIN]

Correct, we are receiving more traffic than ever before. Regarding the performance problems, we have been in contact with our web host and they believe the problem is with their service. They are working with us to resolve the issue. We thank you for your patience and if the problems persist you have our assurances that we will move to a new provider.

Thanks Admin.

[Conley]

Thanks ADMIN. It has seemed better to me today but I haven't been on as much.

[MMC]

Uh huh.....trying to throw us off the scent eh. Just how does Admin talk to himself while gaining in those posts. :laugh: :wink:

[Mister D]

It's been better. Not "normal" but better.

[Conley]

Anyone else having a lot of problems tonight?

And before anyone is a wise arse, I mean with this website.

[Chris]

Same old. Not as bad but still hangs now and then.

[ADMIN]

Are users still experiencing problems with the site?

Our web host has been less than helpful so if necessary we are prepared to move the forum. Downtime should not be more than a few hours.

Please feel free to let us know your preferences.

[Mister D]

I have. It's not too bad but it is annoying. If it doesn't cost anything I say go for it.

[Conley]

It is definitely annoying. I've been putting up with it but newer members might not be as willing.

[Mister D]

gOOD POINT

[Peter1469]

It is still slow, but not as bad as earlier in the week.

[MMC]

It hasn't been a bad as it was. I am wondering if it was due to that hacker group as this week they were hitting everything here in the US. Just let me know if we are doing this switch out on the servers. Sure hate for the site to be down even for a bit. Still we need to make sure it is not an issue with newer members.

[Chris]

Ditto, not as bad. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it at this point.

[Conley]

I think I am starting to realize my internet connection really stinks. I had a lot of trouble opening up that Starfish and Spider website too.

[MMC]

A guy at my work was talking about that these Servers are being hacked and we are not being told about it. ATT, Verizon, etc etc. Plus now the Fed has their Spiders out flooding everything.

http://ts2.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1625223466277&id=1dcb2b7d051fb6225490bfe8eda22687&url=http%3a%2f%2fs11.allstarpics.net%2fimages%2for ig%2fy%2fr%2fyrbmbvbgll3svbgr.jpg

Thats alright just wait until they mate with my little pretties......Than All the Spiders will be Mine! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAhahahaha.....<<<<<Evil Laugh! :evil:

[Conley]

Ah MMC and his pretties. :roflmao: The Slurping Spider is my favorite.

[wingrider]

yeah I have been having one heck of time loading pages, sometimes as long as two minutes or I get kicked completey off and have to re log in.. not good guys... newbies will definitly not stick around for long with this going on.

[Conley]

Thanks man...guess it is not just me then. Really it seems like this place has gotten a lot busier so it makes sense we might need to upgrade.

[jgreer]

Runs perfect for me and my comp is not good

[Mister D]

I wasn't thinking about it at all this morning so I didn't mention it but that may be because there were no problems to speak of. No issues at all today.

[Conley]

Same here, smooth as butter.

[Mister D]

Excellent. Hopefully that's behind us.

[Captain Obvious]

For the record, the "Quick Reply" function has been very clunky so far for me. It's locking the screen up a lot.

[Captain Obvious]

I think part of my problem is self inflicted. I have and Adobe product - probably Reader that I haven't disengaged the automatic updates function. Did it at work, never got around to doing it on my personal laptop.

Fucking Adobe updates. Nuisance.

[MMC]

I have the same thing and that Adobe crap is always downloading something. Same thing with ATT. Also I think it's due to even more hosts putting in all these damn Commercials and Ads into the puter.

Already tonight we back to double click on the reply button and I have had 3 screens all lock up and freeze at the same time.

[MMC]

This is weird.....my settings are set to the right time for my region but the time onthe posts being posted up are saying that the time is like 6hrs ahead of time? I pulled up another screan and says it's two hours behind like i was on Cali time.

Can someone hack this site causing us problems. Like someone fron another site?

[Conley]

Something weird might be going on. I think I just had that too, but now when I look at the times they're all right. Not sure, I could have been imagining it. Only have one window open so it's not that.

[Conley]

Nope, not imagining it. Now it's two hours off. Weirdness.

[MMC]

It just did the same thing with me. Now the times are showing correctly. I know I didn't imagine it as I had two screens up. Also there is like some type of wave of distortion that cascades down the Forums Page. Like when you go into a section.

Plus Like I said before I had 3 screens frozen. It's Never done that before on my puter.

[MMC]

I just typed a reply on another screen and it froze when I hit the reply button. Hence this post from another screen first.

[MMC]

Which is why I asked if someone could hack us. Like come in here and have left us something. I don't know as I am not puter literate and get aggravated with this type of stuff.

[Conley]

I dunno man. Seems like something is going on. Best drop ADMIN a line or he will probably see this thread.

[MMC]

See while I was typing something in another thread this one came thru.

[ADMIN]

We have seen that multiple users are still encountering problems and we are exploring alternatives.

Once a final decision has been made, we will notify all users of any expected downtime during the server change. This will most likely occur this weekend, or in the event that our technical staff is not available, next week at the latest.

We are working on the solution and appreciate your patience.

[MMC]

Thanks Admin.....all I can tell ya is the cascading thing has stopped. That right now while I am on. Nothing seems to be sticking on the reply button. There for a few days everybody was saying they were having less problems.

The other day our ISP was not allowing one to get onto the Net. Althought it was still showing that a person was connected. I have ATT. All thier phone lines were flooded with calls. When I got thru I was asking if it was an area thing. they kept saying it wasnt. But the truth is.....it was. Many around here-(Chicago) were asking if ATT got hacked by Anonnymous. As this has been like the 3rd time within the last month and a half. ATT denies this.....but then they denied that they had an area outage due to whatever as well.

[Mister D]

Most of it is related to traffic, I believe. I never have problems in the morning. I have a few in the afternoon and a lot around 6 PM.

[MMC]

I was hoping that this would clear up.....so that the site wouldnt have to be shut down. But it is like you said. As right now there are no problems since I have been on this morning.

Even putting in a Video in the Military Tribute thread I went advanced first. Showed the video was working and not Embedded. Hit reply.....went right thru!

[Conley]

Good point. Hopefully the site won't be down long.

[Mister D]

A few hours I'd imagine. That has to happen here and there.

[MMC]

Eventually I figured we would. I am also hoping it isn't due to this V-bulletin format.

[Chris]

Yeah, thanks for info, admin. Seems actually to running ok lately, as well as any other forum, they all spin their wheels or lock up now and then. But thanks for working on it and letting us know!!

[Captain Obvious]

The "quick reply" is still fucked up, for me anyway. If I just start typing in the quick reply box, I can't hit "enter" to add a space, can't see my cursor and at some point random lines above the sentence I'm typing suddenly start appearing and I can't get back into the sentence to continue it - or copy it, the copy function suddenly stops working. I just post and edit to continue at that point.

[Mainecoons]

Quick reply works OK for me but the edit function has issues. It just locks up and doesn't save the changes.

[Captain Obvious]

Where in Maine are you, coons? I lived near Fryburg for the last year or so.

[Mister D]

He's referring to a breed of cat. Not sure if he is actually from Maine.

[Captain Obvious]

Well, I feel stupid now.

:grin:

[Mister D]

Well, I feel stupid now.

:grin:

I had no idea what a Mainecoon was until I met "Mainecoons" on another forum if that makes you feel any better. I thought he was from Maine too. :laugh:

[Conley]

Thirded. :embarrassed: :grin:

[wingrider]

thanks for fixing the site.. it is working excellent,, hardly any drag time and pages change quickly..

[Mainecoons]

Well, I feel stupid now.

:grin:

No reason for that. It is a unique American breed of cat, the cat picture in my avatar is one, his name is Max and he is a very large and assertive kitty.

[Mister D]

Max certainly looks like a very serious cat.

[Conley]

He's a beautiful creature, no doubt about it.

[Alias]

I have one that looks just like Max. He's around 20 lbs. His name is Fred.

[Captain Obvious]

No reason for that. It is a unique American breed of cat, the cat picture in my avatar is one, his name is Max and he is a very large and assertive kitty.

Well, folks from Maine are sort of an... odd bunch - and I mean that in a sort of complimentary way. I associated with them very well. They have rednecks, but they're a far different breed than you see south of the Mason Dixon.

That explained two things also - why a guy from main would have a cat as an avatar.

[keyser soze]

Is this the place to ask a question about the forum? I hope so...I'd like to do a search for a thread I posted but I can't find a search function. I know there has to be one so can someone point it out to me? Thanks.

Of course! I post and find a little box in the upper right marked 'advanced search'....that's how life is sometimes...

Great place...I love the look, very classy.

Top right. In the slate-blue bar under the forum title. The white rectangle.

[MMC]

I see.....the Admin left this thread for performances and site issues.

[keyser soze]

Why isn't a page 2 etc. showing?

[Conley]

Why isn't a page 2 etc. showing?

Not sure I understand. Do you mean the bottom right where it says Page 9 of 9, <<First < ... 56789 ?

[MMC]

Anyone else having a difficulty with the reply jumping when copying links or content?

[Conley]

No problems here. I almost always use the quick reply, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

[MMC]

Yeah thats where I was getting it. Sometimes it is like it is sticking again. Course then it could be my IE.

[Conley]

It seems people who are using IE have problems with the site. I swtiched from IE a while back (not because of this site) and Chrome is way faster...once you get used to it there's no going back. Of course, I know how you older folk feel about technology, so... :old: :wink:

[Captain Obvious]

I switched to Firefox years ago, haven't had problems since.

Had nothing but problems with IE.

Fuck the facist monopoly that is Microsoft, I just wish Mozilla and other free vendors made other applications that work as well.

[MMC]

Chrome.....I don't want Chrome. How about some Platinum Shit. Better yet I just want a puter I can tell what to do and it does it. Including fixing itself. Well.....alright, when I tend to put some dents in on it too. :laugh:

I used Firefox for a long time, just recently I've switched to Chrome - it did take a little getting used to, although I did like some of the Firefox extensions I don't like 'em enough at the expense of Chrome's speed or it's Omnibox.

[MMC]

Whats an Omnibox? :laugh:
