things slowing way down again this morning

[Brandon H Supervisor]

What does that have to do with Neowin?

if you had hovered over the link you'd see that it's a neowin article

[f0rk_b0mb]

It's a tad slow for me right now...not too bad, however.

[remixedcat]

what have they been feeding the server hampsters???

[Growled Member]

Nothing. I think they died from starvation. :D

[remixedcat]

Nothing. I think they died from starvation. :D

Slow for me now too. It always seems it's fast in the morning, slow in the afternoon. Makes sense.

[remixedcat]

stardock needs to get them better servers LOL

[f0rk_b0mb]

They need to upgrade the gerbils to guinea pigs. :)

[Brandon H Supervisor]

it hasn't been too bad for me so far this morning

[f0rk_b0mb]

Someone needs to wake Dave up, stop neobond from chewing the cords, and feed the damn hamsters. :p In other words, driver errors:

:hmmm: Again David? I thought we were past this! You may get it back later: :pint:

[Piggy]

It's getting really annoying again. Sigh.

[Growled Member]

Seems fairly sane at the moment. (Holding my breath)

[remixedcat]

they have hampsters

and neobond is too busy racing:

[jakem1]

I haven't seen any errors but I've had loads of posts that refuse to actually post, accidental double posts and the site is soooooo slow.

[fix-this!]

i fail to understand why the boards are so slow lately?

[Marshall Veteran]

The boards for me are fast again except for one element. When posting, the site will hang on Saving Post for more than a minute sometimes. Within 10 seconds you can scroll to the top and see that your reply is posted in the Mini Spy but the page you're currently on continues to hang on Saving Post.

[Piggy]

It's still on and off for me. It's really annoying. I really love this place, and for the first time ever I'm considering looking elsewhere.

[Piggy]

Oh it's really nice and snappy right now. Did you guys fix something?

[Yorak]

Posting is still slow, very slow.

This!

[Haggis Veteran]

I keep getting Connection Refused today

not sure if its because i am at work but it never usually happens

[Steven P. Administrators]

Some feedback would be nice ;) We've made some tweaks to article pages added prev / next story links and cached the articles as well. I'm already seeing some speed improvements.

[Sulphy]

Seems mainly the main page for me that drops off when refreshing... meh, not much going on at work.... so the F5 key workouts are good time killers... ;)

[f0rk_b0mb]

Seams nice now.

Here you are David: :pint:
