TOO SLOW

[DJ RE:HAB]

Most of the time its taken far toooo long for pages and, when it does open the page, its a blank page....

Its taken way too long... to load up, and am running from a server in work, its been hapening for a while......

Whats the problemo,, :cry:

[Esox Lucius]

the forum doesnt like you because you support the scummiest football team in the world...this forum is an evertonian.

[MARKEG]

just let me know what it's like today. i've switched the remote avatars off (don't worry, I'll set up avatar uploading if this works)...

[The Divide]

I'm finding the forum a bit slow recently. Sometimes it takes ages to load a page. :doh:

[Traxx]

yeah only on certain threads though :eh:

[Hakka]

After turning off Avatars I'm having no problems at all.

With them on, some threads just don't load...

blimey your right, ive just turned them off and the boards running like lightning, and i mean a LOT quicker for me. i havent seen it this quick since the old design.

[Traxx]

But when mark turned them all off recently it was still slow on certain threads :eh:

well turning them off at my end has certinaly sorted it out for me, everything is fast and ive had no threads take ages since i changed the avatars to off and i used to get 1 frozen thread every few mins before

[Esox Lucius]

has for me too

[The Divide]

The problem is that people have huge high quality avatars

[Traxx]

Probably

That isnt the problem for why certain theads are taking ages to load. The server seams to be taking ages to process the php data and then send the html to your browser. Images are loaded after the main page has :eh:

[MangaFish]

its annoying as it always seems to be the threads i want to read the most :doh:

[detfella]

yeah some threads open some dont, on firefox i keep getting "conains no data", generally the bigger the thread the longer its taking to open (if it does at all)

i suppose it cant be helped the php database must be huuuuuuuje! delete those insane posts or faster bw from ur host pls mark !!! or maybe u should set up a donation paypal thingy if u want us to help pay ?

[MARKEG]

hey no need for that mate (although, hey i might set up a paypal donation just to fund my alcohol habit - JOKE!!!)

right i will prune this insane asylum i think. just let me back up the database first...

should have it done today...

[sinner]

Yes the board has slown down a little bit in certain areas, and it will be rectified asap.

Its easy to do a slash and burn to make that happen, but something ilke this has to be planned carefully and executed properly so nothing breaks in the process.

[~cheeky~]

opening threads is still taking forever.
i thought deleting all them in insane was ment to make a difference :scratch:

also anyone know why the old board style is coming up even thou in my profile im using the new one????

[Yoshimitsu]

mines been absolutely fine since i turned avatars off :cool:

[~cheeky~]

so is mine but you shouldnt have to do that thou :doh:

[sinner]

No you shouldnt have to turn avatars off to have things speed up, but on the same side, the avatars only load as fast as the site that they are on.

If that site is slow, it slows down the rest of the page.

Since we do not have control over anything that is not directly off this server, we cannot control how fast and/or slow those things load.

But we have plans to deal with even avatars.

[~cheeky~]

ok,i dont know much about it but dont understand why this isnt a problem for other sites which have arond 300 members on at the same time.

[Barely Human]

To be honest, im sure this is a problem with some php code mark edited in when doing a mod. I think its the Card system, but i could be wrong...
