the forum has been awwwwwwwwwfully slow for some days. I even get occasional time-outs. Erik
This is a test to see how long replies take. Jon
OK - That took about 50 seconds to post. We're not working on anything and nothing has changed AFAIK. Jon
Seems to be about 30 secs from here (UK), also it has stopped returning to the thread automatically after posting.
also it has stopped returning to the thread automatically after posting That's so we can profile the message post engine. Jon
FYI it took my post 40 seconds to "take" yesterday. I'm in Houston TX. $0.02
We found the problem. Last week, we made a few changes to the database that would speed up the thread list output. The changes reduced the list display from about 5 seconds to about 1 second. A side-effect of this change is that a little more processing is required to re-order the list after a new message is posted. This change is what caused the delay in posting to the forum. We have updated a few indexes to make them work faster. Let's see if this solves the posting problem. Jon
OK. That only took about 5 seconds to post. Can several of you post to this thread to see if this issue has been addressed? Thanks, Jon
Test
Yep, ~5s.
Thanks for checking. Jon
"40 seconds ... $0.02" That's not much of an hourly rate...! ;-)
Yep - that's back up to speed!
Thanks, Andy. Actually, it should be faster than it was before. Can anyone confirm or deny that? Jon
"Actually, it should be faster than it was before. Can anyone confirm or deny that?" Unfortunately, I didn't keep detailed timing records of the old system. Silly me...
