Re: New Forum Update
It still seems to be painfully simple to crash the forums simply by posting something.
I just started a thread in the VC++ Programming forum. After I pressed Submit New Post my browser (Safari) just hung with nothing happening. After a couple of minutes I closed my browser and tried to access the forums using a new instance of Safari. I don't know if the whole forum had crashed but it was a further 5-6 minutes before I could access the forums again. This is at least the 2nd time this has happened to me.

Re: New Forum Update
I'll ask the techies to look at this forum again. This seems to be the only forum having these issues that are reported. The others (so far), have not seemed to hve similar problems that I'm aware of.

Re: New Forum Update
I'll just say again, for me, it's still horribly slow. Just opening a post can take up to a minute.

Re: New Forum Update
It was very slow in my desktop at work (Chrome) while the same Chrome worked fast enough on the laptop.
Removing history and cookies made my desktop much faster. However, I'm not sure it will remain fast in a week or two...

Re: New Forum Update
The techies are looking at the slowness that creeps in here and there. They have finally seen that it is happening and are working on a solution. I believe it is a CRON type job running in the background in the forum software that is not behaving nicely.

Re: New Forum Update
If it isn't a silly question, what prompted the change? Are there some new features in the pipeline or something? It seems to have caused a lot of grief for not much benefit....

Re: New Forum Update
Another silly question: has anyone tested this new version before doing the update? If someone tested it, I can't believe they didn't find any of these many issues before...
After several weeks it is still very slow. The reason given for this poor performance was the search database re-build; I was hoping it would be finished by now.

Re: New Forum Update
Oh, don't get me started on 'search'. That's something else that now takes an age. I could cook a four course meal in the time it now takes to do a simple search - and to be honest, I'm not at all convinced that the results are accurate.

One more bug (it appears in both IE and Chrome):
PS: perhaps, it is the time to go back and restore the last working version of CG Forums?

I think that's the best option right now.

Re: New Forum Update
On top of the site being painfully slow, search not working properly and so on this is something that occurs ever so often for me. Is it just me or do anybody else get this?

I got tis message a lot of times a day last week. But since the last three or four days - no more...
Although forum began to slow down again (note that I cleaned up the history and deleted cookies a week ago)

I'm not a regular enough poster to be sufficiently worried but I think the regular users and power posters should be polled about this as the problems aren't showing any signs of getting better. It just took me around 6 minutes to post a new topic in the Non Visual C++ forum. After I'd entered my text, the time taken to submit the post was slow, but not unacceptable. However, when I first pressed the button to post a new thread I had to wait over 5 minutes for the actual form to appear!
[Edit...] and I can't even make the smilies work today! It just keeps getting worse....

Re: New Forum Update
We are getting the vBulletin support involved for understanding the speed issues. The tech guys are working to make changes to help this out. Keep reporting if it is slow.
As to search - I'll need to have someone look at that. It should be up and running cleanly on this forum now.

Re: New Forum Update
Brad - would a straw poll help? i.e. to find out if the speed problems are only affecting certain browsers?
Up until yesterday I'd mostly been eccessing CodeGuru from Safari on my Apple Mac. This morning I switched to Internet Explorer 9 (on Windows 7). What a difference! IE9 isn't exactly slick - but it's a LOT better than the experiences I've had up until now.
Might be just a coincidence - but worth checking?
