bug Neowin: A speed bump on the Information Superhighway.

[Mike]

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

[Twiddle]

Can't do a metro theme, because if anyone has been following the mobile theme, people don't like things where text is cu.....

:p Where is my like button? I want to like this!

[Stoffel]

I notice the same problems on IE10, it's not every day, but when it happens the forums just don't function.

Load times are insane and you loose everything in your replies

[Hum]

I don't LIKE this :p

I don't LIKE this :p

Not having my like button is making me twitch. I'm just going to start quoting with LIKE, now.

Tyler R. Likes this :D

I 2nd this. What next? Disable our post count? The site is snappy now, tho. :)

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...

Same here. Makes you think it's a network issue

Same Here. No issues with Forum Speed at all.

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.

[cybertimber2008]

I haven't had any issues with neowin being slow ever :-/

IE9 and FF in Fedora 17

[remixedcat]

Only probs is when neobond and redmak neglect the poor hampsters. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THE POOR THINGS

[Growled Member]

^ Maybe it's time for some new hamsters already. :D

[remixedcat]

yeah.... get SUPER HAMPSTERS!!!!

[Raa]

Maybe Neowin needs to start deleting topics like "Formerly forums about to reach <x> posts" and things like that? :p

[Noir Angel]

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.

same here Javik.... I miss the "like" buttons :(

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.

[Noir Angel]

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.

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

[winrez]

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.
