Forum slow?

[CraigS]

Or is it just me?

[Jeff Kleiner]

I've also noticed that since the site was down for maintenance over the weekend topics are slow to open.

[phileas_fogg]

Same here. Mac OS v10.13.5, Safari v11.1.1.

[Gumball]

Same - both on my home network, mobile WiFi, and the network at the office, so it's gotta be on the forum's end.

[Mike N]

Dave posted in the other thread that he is aware of it being slow and is working on it. I'm sure he'll get it back up to full throttle.

More than, actually. The site is BLAZING right now!

:)

PS GOTTA GET THAT LIKE FEATURE INSTALLED. Some more emojis would be nice too. I'm such a SLACKER.

[BEAR-AvHistory]

Was a dog yesterday

[phileas_fogg]

It was blazing in the afternoon as David said, but it's back to slow this morning.

Noticing the same.

[EZ$]

Took forever for the site to load this morning, and once on it was near impossible to navigate anywhere, or get threads to come up on the screen.

Rick

[David Hodgkins]

Yep, I see it too. I'm looking into it.

:)

[flynntuna]

It's pretty fast on my Android phone right now.

[David Hodgkins]

It's getting slower on my PC and is borderline unusable!

We're on it...

:)

[Itchief]

When was the last time you emptied the bit bucket once it gets full everything slows down

Kinda like dev null

[JimLev]

Still pretty slow, 30-45 sec to load a page.

[CraigS]

It's slow again although it was normal for me at 7 this AM. The other one is completely inop-datadase error.

[mburger]

The forum has become unusable.
I’m not trying to pile on, but this is now too slow to use.
Just curious what happened that caused the “unscheduled maintenance” and what is happening that is causing this site to grind to a halt.
Not a criticism, I am a manager in I.T. so I get it, just wondering what’s going on.
You hear from people when things break but don’t when they work. That’s my life.
Again, thanks for all you do. I guess it’s more professional curiosity than anything else that I ask.

[mburger]

I double posted because it's so slow. Unusable at this point.

[Jeff Kleiner]

Maybe it's because of all the extra data that has to load up for the "likes" and "thanks" :;):

Ha!

Along with the "dislike" I'm not sure we need a "like". Just an opinion.
I'd rather tell someone their car is awesome in 4 words than "like" the post.
Or tell them their tip or suggestion helped me in words rather than a "like".
Maybe just the "thank you" I would use.
If I liked something, I would want to tell that person I liked it in words in a post. I know I would rather get responses from folks over "like" counts.

[phileas_fogg]

Again, thanks for all you do.

Indeed; thanks for all you do David. I've dabbled in web applications, and I know that your job is NOT easy! Hopefully, these are "routine" growing pains...


John

[mburger]

Totally agree. David does an awseome job with little fanfare.

[Jeff Kleiner]

I won't hit the "like" button on this statement but I will agree 100%!

Jeff

[GoDadGo]

Double Ditto From The Dirty South!
Slow at home, slow at Camp Granny and the office too.

[CraigS]

Faster but still messed up. I just typed a short reply in a thread and hit 'post quick reply' I get a popup asking if I want to 'leave site' and if I do leave some info may be lost. Same as yesterday. So I hit leave and a new reply window pops up w/ my text already in it. So, since I left, and it said if I left I might lose data, I hit 'post quick reply'. Then I get a popup saying I need to wait another 12 seconds before I can post. I back out of that, click on another thread, back out of that, and click on the original thread, and there I have two identical posts one below the other..

[shark92651]

I assume the culprit is:

Feedback Buttons provided by Advanced Post Thanks / Like (Lite) - vBulletin Mods & Addons Copyright © 2018 DragonByte Technologies Ltd.

Revert?

[Bill_VA]

Ridiculously slow!!

Yeah, when something breaks I always ask what changed?
There were two things, the infamous "unscheduled maintenance" and the feedback buttons.
Ah the life of a forum admin.... Poor David.
I ate chicken salad tonight in hopes of bringing speediness to the forum. :D

[weendoggy]

Reminds me of a 9600 modem.

[rich grsc]

This site is almost unusable, at times it won't even load. :mad:

[CraigS]

Better this AM. The home pg popped right up but the 'Roadster' took maybe 10 seconds. Each thread takes 5-10 seconds but it's better than it has been.
Edit to add; it posted the above just fine but the 'Edit' button took 10 seconds to load so I could add this.

[Erik W. Treves]

slow again

[Mike N]

Like a V8 running on 4 or 5 cylinders right now.......... Chugga, chugga, splutter, cough......

[Straversi]

looks like the "Likes" are gone and the speed is back. I "like" it much better this way. Thanks Dave!
-Steve

[rich grsc]

When are they going to get this resolved? This sucks!!

[David Hodgkins]

It's still messed up. You will continue to see bursts of speed as they test.

I'm really sorry guys. I'm just letting the techs do their thing.

I'll of course notify you of any status change.

[mburger]

No worries David. Appreciate the update and the work you do.

[Papa]

Dave

Thanks for working the problem -- not fun I know. It seems to be much improved at the moment!

Dave

[glastron351]

Thanks for the update....must be a pain but do appreciate the followup

[mburger]

I think we should have an update on what is happening with the forum?

[mburger]

Can we get an update on what is going on please?

[David Hodgkins]

Still working the problem.

On Father's day.

Freakin' awesome.

[Itchief]

Enjoy your Father’s Day the web site will be there in the morning

Thank you for your time and efforts

What Rick said. Take a day off and let your subconscious do the work while you enjoy some time with the family.

Cheers,

[j.miller]

I came here to ***** about something.....great! I'm old. Took so freakin long I lost my train of thought. So I was on this train the other day and looking out the window I saw a cobra on the ….now I remember, roadster forum moving like.....molasses....ya know I don't care much for molasses....in fact the whole mole is just a nasty little varmint.....AND WHY AR WE TALKING ABOUT VERMIN BUTTS ON A ROADSTER FORUM ! DAMN IT DAVID ! YOU JUST GOTTA GET THIS UNDER CONTROL ! I have got to get more rum....I'm losing my mind here....bat out !

[j.miller]

I can't believe I can't say ***** here.....***** ***** *****

[rich grsc]

I can't believe I can't say ***** here.....***** ***** *****
I don't care if you say *****, you can even say *** of a ***** if you say it nicely.

[BB767]

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but we seem to have plenty of time at the moment. Can you just finish the train story, it was starting to get interesting..........

[Barrel]

Yeah....... meanwhile, back at the ranch, Pancho disguised as a door...........

[Erik W. Treves]

wow... now it's crawling

[42Bfast]

wow... now it's crawling

It’s crawling,....umm,..is that Pancho, the mole, or Da Bat? I suspect if he found more rum it would be Da Bat.

Hang in there David. This too shall pass.
Patience all,... we’ve been spoiled by this age of instant gratification and David’s excellent support. Even the best of man made objects can, and will, break. How many of us never had a problem with our car or project that took a few days, or more, to figure out? Try doing that with a few dozen anxious impatient folks looking over your shoulder! Ugh, gives me the shudders. Glad I’m retired.
Well, if the forum is still slow, ... I reckon I’ll go work on the car. ;-)

[CraigS]

Yeah it is. just got back from 3 days away and it's maybe 10 seconds to load a thread. It's also still giving that 'do you want to leave the site' when I try to post to a thread. Better that, when I click 'leave' it pops back to the thread and my post is there, and there is only one post (vs the two I was getting last week). So, improved but a ways from correct.

[phileas_fogg]

This morning a little before 7:00 a.m. EDT the forum is really cooking. Fingers crossed.


John

[CraigS]

it's back to normal for me now. Thanks for all your hard David!

[rich grsc]

Thanks for the effort, seems great today.
