the facebook system slows down the site more then the like system does.... why not just have a static facebook button that's an image and people can like the page on thier own???

most sites are doing it that way cuz it slows them down too...

I've not had a problem loading Neowin on my phone or at home. Seriously, once I click this post button it will do it's thing immediately and then that'll be the end of it. :huh:

Edit: Yup.

Disabling the reputation system doesn't seem to have made any difference to the speed. Browsing the forums is still fine, and submitting posts is still slow for me.

This has been an issue since neowin upgraded to IPB 3 (remember that nightmare? LOL). It probably has a lot to do with IPB itself coupled with some of the addons that are specific to this forum.

I personally never had any performance issues with IPB forums that I used to run, but I will agree that it was an absolute bitch to manage.

I never had speed issues with IPB either, but I had no real modifications and I pruned the database regularly, cleaned out old logs and database data. From what I hear keeping the mods working is a real pita for Neowin's staff

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trust mods with access to prune/clean the database. That's a task reserved for Admins and Developers IMO.

I always thought it was an IE10 problem. JS problems with editing and submitting posts. I just refresh page - changes show up.

Nah, not limited to IE 10, I see it in Chrome here. All other sites I go to are fine, and my connection isn't experiencing any congestion so I know it's not that.

Stick a 'beta' sign on the logo, that should speed things up by about 15% :shiftyninja:

LIKE :laugh:

Yeah, here's another vote for "put the rep system back and get rid of the Facebook tie-in". Sod Facebook!

I have to agree on this one. The main site isn't that slow, it's rather the whole forum. Saving posts takes around 30 seconds.

Are you logged in via Facebook by chance, I have noticed a slowdown for many different styles/brands of PC's browsing any site with a like button or the ability to sign in using Facebook.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
