Something is seriously wrong with this website


Recommended Posts

Some things I've noticed:

If you add a lot of quotes (like quote & /quote tags), it says "the number of opening quote tags doesn't match the number of closing quote tags" even if "ctrl-f "quote" and ctrl-f "/quote" (with ['s and ]'s, ofc) return the same amount of opening & closing quote tags.

They should dump apache and use Lighttpd for serving the php files and Nginx for static content, the site will load extremely faster, and I mean, click something and it will be there in your face :p It will take less power to hold double the amount of users.

What's the catch?

Add me to those that are having seriously long loading times. It's very sporadic for me. One minutes everything is chugging along great, next thing I know it's taking 3 minutes to load a page. Refresh and it's a gamble as to whether it will be immediate or another 3 minutes. Posting is a roll of the dice as well.

I haven't had a chance to talk with Dave, but I'm pretty sure it's on our end. I was getting some Apache alerts up until friday morning.

awww ok. That sucks... What kinda alerts were they were they servere?

Server loads, but I think Dave must have fixed them because everything is much quicker now (fast edit, liking posts, replying etc).

I just wanted to know if our servers are OK that's all :p

Site is laggy still -- normally posts saves are instant, clearly a delay now. And even loading different forum section takes time.

edit: That was painful watching it post.. Good 15 seconds, and then the save thing went away and took another 5 seconds for the post to show up.

yeah just want to chime in, I too am having the same issues reported, and it has been upwards of about a week they have existed. Just everything is much, much slower overall. Adding a reply to a thread now takes anywhere from 10-15 second, where it was at one point pretty instantaneous.

I don't post often, but yesterday I tried posting and it took about 30-45 seconds for it to happen. I do find that if I open the thread in another tab, my comment is usually there before it says the post submitted. I only know this because one time it simply didn't post at all and I did not feel like waiting.

This topic is now closed to further replies.
