things slowing way down again this morning

[TruckWEB]

The site is quite slow for quite a while now, days... Slow to load the forum, slow to post a comment, slow at everything. It used to be snappy, now it's a pain.

I have time to open new tab and surf somewhere else before Neowin gets to where I want....

EDIT : Saving this message took 21 sec...

Plan C! (Been a slug for almost three weeks now)

[Rappy Veteran]

it's getting really hard to post a comment or a reply now :(

[Growled Member]

Seems snappier at the moment. Or am I dreaming?

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

working pretty well here! (took about 10 seconds to post)

edit 1: took a whopping 2 seconds.

[f0rk_b0mb]

Testing...

Edit: Test...

Edit 2: 10 second to post, 2 to edit like ^ he said. Can we speed up posting, maybe? :D

Oh and David, here ya are...for now... :pint:

[neufuse Veteran]

still seeing odd slow downs when "saving post" is happening...

Same for me. At least it's not as bad as it was...

Happened this morning as well (DB errors)

Seems to me like you guys have a issue with your DBs....

Also where can we see updates off the site? You could leave Neowin's Twitter and Facebook feed so we can follow updates on the site's condition somewhere else, Neobond :)

[Clearskies]

The post saving is 30 seconds or more on the desktop version, but it seems to be normal on the mobile version of the site.

All the bloody Hum posting .... :p

So stop posting. :p

WOW neowin has suddenly slown to a bloody crawl 0_o

[Steven P. Administrators]

Forums are getting hit due to a thread on Reddit about Hells Kitchen winners and where they are now.

Redmak will be applying some changes today that affect sql, and hopefully the root cause of the slowdowns, so if the site breaks, you know why :p

This has been getting worse for me the last few weeks.

I've had 2 times just this week that i've had DB errors too... I guess the servers need an upgrade? ;)

So stop posting. :p

You need to look in the mirror too! :p

The site has slowed right down. 3/5 times after I post, I see that the post went through via the mini spy, the page doesn't even refresh. Sometimes it takes 10-20 seconds to load a page. I checked my internet and the speed is reporting normal.. so it's definitely site related.

[NightScreams]

same here, however i'm new and just assumed this site was hosted in a 3rd world country or something and always like this.

All the bloody Hum posting .... :p

I think that should read:

All the bloody Hum & Rappy postings...!

You assumed that a "tech" forum with 90% US citizens would be hosted in a "3rd world" country, why?

let me help you out here. Feel free to take your pick

joke (johk) noun, verb, joked, jok?ing.

3. A matter that need not be taken very seriously; trifling matter: The loss was no joke.

sar?casm? ?[sahr-kaz-uhm] noun

2. A sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cultting remark: a review full of sarcasms.

or

Not wanting to be smart about it or anything, but seriously, it was a pretty simple post. I guess you don't get the satire of someone mentioning 3rd world country to be associated to something that might be "behind the times", "slow" or whatever

[xendrome]

Are the servers still at Stardock since the "Drip Gate" issue over a year ago?

What does that have to do with Neowin?

Been like this for at least the last two months, it's not rare for me to make a post and then go to another tab while waiting for the site to reload

[Farstrider]

Actually never mind...

I get periods where it's like that, but this is the worst I've seen in a while.
