DaveLegg Developer Posted September 30, 2006 Developer Share Posted September 30, 2006 The forums just died then :(. Yeah, that was just another small change which will help with the speed overall, it's done now. Just be aware there may be further periods like that over the next few days while we get things worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted September 30, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 30, 2006 If you look at the bottom of the forum on the left, in front of the skin chooser (only members see skin chooser) you will see a new shiny RSS feeds button. That syndicates the 10 most recent items in Back Page News.. No.. post bumping does not put your topic at the top of the RSS feed pile again Think of it as an extended front page, our news doesn't keep bumping back up after every comment and thats how this works too. That makes a lot more sense than it used to be. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjakarl Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Good to be back, not sure what everyone was talking about "a quick update" it seemed to take atleast 12 hours (possibly more, I guess I was pining for it to come back so I could keep spamming it up :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitebread Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Nice improvements. Loads much faster! I like the fact that we no longer see the "redirecting" page! (Y) (Y) (Y) Was a very speedy update, but is good to be back in business :yes: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daylene Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Glad to see the new RSS option, I think I'll be trying it out! :D Also, the site seems to load much faster now for me than it ever did. Keep up with the optimizations guys! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I also removed the redirects that you see after posting and full edits (saves us one extra request each time). :yes: :yes: :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomi Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I found an easter egg! :happy: "Last member submitted Back Page News" The link for BPN has a tooltip: "News that might be cool enough to make the front page". Nice one. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+John. Subscriber¹ Posted October 1, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 1, 2006 ^It doesn't make gramatical sense now. grammatical. :D and I'm sure it does :s unless we're being really pedantic and going "Last member-submitted Back Page News". Anyways, that confirmation thing after full edits going is so much better :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted October 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 1, 2006 still apache? ... mmm You should really try lighttd :p That's the third time you have mentioned that. As I said before apache performance was not the source of our problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jingles Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Whatever the source of your problems was, things are looking a lot better now. :D (Although posting still seems to be rather slow. Oh well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttus Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 yea, much faster when getting the new forum messages, and overall faster when first getting to the main page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter McGrath Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I clicked the page and it actually loaded quite quickly...impressive :p. Can't see any improvements here. Still takes upwards of 30 seconds to display a new page when you click on the link :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Still alot of bugs and glitches... Be aware that we're still optimizing. Our work isn't done (and I don't think it ever will be ;)) Like we said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.stan Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 That's the third time you have mentioned that. As I said before apache performance was not the source of our problems. I know, and hope it's not annoying but you would be amazed how fast neowin would be. We (a site with 12.5 Million page hits (!= Page Impressions)) were amazed,too and kicked apache out.

Redmak Administrators Posted October 2, 2006 Administrators Share Posted October 2, 2006 We tried lighttpd a few years ago. I know it has come a long way since then but I'm not convinced it's as stable as Apache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
