the forum has been awwwwwwwwwfully slow for some days. I even get occasional time-outs. Erik
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
Testing... 1.. 2.. 3...
Took me about 5 seconds to post from San Antonio. Not bad.
This is another test.
An another test - we're working on improving the speed a little more. Jon
OK - It appears to be posting in 2-3 seconds, now. Can anyone else confirm that? Thank you all for helping us fix this annoying little problem, Jon
That last one of mine, after about 4s resulted in: HTTP Error 500.100 Page Cannot Be Displayed
