Something is seriously wrong with this website

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.

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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
