site slowness?


Recommended Posts

prehaps neowin should close the bords on sunday while they backup. its realy annoying to come here and have the main page load but as soon as a link is clicked there is nothng, even refreshing the page dosnt do anything. a nother reason why we get a slow down is all thoes idiots that keep f5 held down in the hope the page will refresh.

Obviously they are doing a master backup before they install IPB 2.1  :ninja:

Seriously, some Sundays are slower than others

I'm still having the slowness.  It took me 2 minutes just to log in, plus another minute just to open this topic.

Most Sunday Backups don't usually take this long.  (Usually 12 hours before this.)

So, (and I am probably starting the rumor mill here), but why do you think it is taking so long.  Are they taking a full master backup before moving to IPB 2.1, or are they... I can't believe I am even saying this... moving to phpBB. :pinch:

The backup seems to have stopped, and the IPB number is still v2.0.4.  I guess that's it for the rumor mill.

EDIT: Oops, I spoke/typed too soon.  There is still some slowness.

It was a joke people, 2.1 isn't even out yet, you know?

I couldn't see Neowin for a few days, due to Safari being unable to open it. I finally broke down and downloaded Firefox, which seems to fix the issue. Meaning I can browse the web with Safari and have to use Firefox for Neowin. *grrrr

I know... I was just making a joke. I was going for some sarcasm. I thought that we would have started making really weird predictions for what is going on. e.g. Some space aliens have kidnapped one of the admins (oh no Neobond... ahhhh... what's that green light that's taking you into space?) and has gotten a 5-finger discount on IPB 2.1 and forced him to upgrade the forums, causing sitewide slowness. The end of the world is near... :alien:

I know, I'm weird. :wacko: :p

rename it the Neowin Browser

Whats going on? Everyday, I come to Neowin, get a good 20 - 40 minutes reading and posting, and the site just slows to a complete stop.

I can't load any pages, can't reply or anything?

Is it the server loads that just can't deal with the amount of people or what? Cause its annoying the hell out of me.

    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
