Still seeing it take about 10 seconds for my browser to actually start loading a Neowin forum page, and posting a small post just a few minutes ago took about 15 - 20 seconds to post.

Just like to make Devs aware, sometimes video linking from youtube doesn't work

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1159840-youtube-links-not-becoming-video/page-2#entry595770478

 

And the like and quotes on occasion will not go directly to the post (some likes don't show up neither)

 

Just noticed that clicking from minispy to the last post didn't work just now (6:30am UK time)

When quoting more than one user or quoting more than one post, like I did in https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1159942-paris-air-show-le-bourget-2013/#entry595770808

the quote box stops stating who I am quoting, is this something broken?

Slower than molasses in the middle of a Michigan winter, again, today!

 

One post I made a few minutes ago took almost 4 minutes to go through.

 

As another poster said in another thread I was just reading, before getting linked to here, said how this site is a speed bump on the internet. Couldn't have said that better myself!

 

Site has been sporadic at best for I don't know through how many upgrades and days afterwards!

Has anyone else's profile picture gotten broken on the front of the site (reading news, writing comments) but shows up fine in the forum and account settings pages? Mine got broken since the upgrade (synced from Facebook). Tried removing it and syncing again but no go...

As a past and potential subscriber, it's hard to accept things when the average page load speed goes from very fast (yesterday) to back to the normal, quite slow, 5-10 seconds to load a page experience (today).  I personally would gladly give up every Neowin hack, mod, added feature, tweak, like system, stars, etc. etc. if the most simple action of browsing the forums was faster.  I could be completely misguided here, but before all of the added features were enabled, the speed of browsing the forums was lightning fast compared to what it was for the past several months.  I am hopeful that the current slowness is just due to work being done, but based on past experience, that's not a justified hope.

 

If i had a vote, I would vote for speed, not features.  Just my $0.02.  Keep up the good work!  (Y)

    • MakeMKV 1.18.4 Beta

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
