Re: Why is Codeguru slow nowadays?

Well, today, CG is Very slow (for me at least) and I've been getting The Page Cannot Be Displayed errors this whole day, causeing me to refresh 3 even 4 times before I can see a thread. When replying, or rating, it causes me to sometimes retype everything. :ehh:

Re: Why is Codeguru slow nowadays?

Thanks all. I'm getting good response times now, but I'll touch base with the system admins to see if they can determine what is happening.

I know there is yet another server on order for the forums, so I know more power is coming in the near future.

Brad!

Someone deserves a Big raise.. Talk about trimming the fat off..
4 Days ago..
Total page size = 256K
Load time = 95 Sec... (best time.. ~45 Sec)
Total Files = 66
Chache Hits = 0

Today
Total page size = 86K
Load time = 16 Sec... (best time.. ~10 Sec)
Total Files = 10
Chache Hits = 1 (Up to 4 or 5 - Depending on area) <-- Proxy chache hits (Obviously the other 56 files must be loaded from the Browser Chache)

And just a note... these two logs are comparable because they are both to view the 'Feedback' Forum.. Both with my wife browsing her E-Pals Forum.. (note the skips in the req.ID).

This is fantastic.. and should realy ease the bandwidth load... and that means more space for more users.. Which is a very good thing all round..

Thanks to Brad and the Technical support guys for making such an improvement to the CG experiance... And with an additional server, this is even better :D

Gremmy...

PS. Everyone is very quick to complain when it all goes south... Very few reply with a positive update when it comes right.. So this is a BIG THANK YOU for fixing the problems we have with CG... :thumb: :wave: :thumb:

Re: Why is Codeguru slow nowadays?

Please, please, pleeeeease can something be done about the "preview bug"? I know that others have complained about this too and it is seriously annoying. It goes like this....

1) You type a load of text in reply to someone's post.
2) You press "Preview" to see what your response will look like.
3) Internet Explorer shuts down and you lose everything.

or, if you try to be clever, it works like this....

1) You type a load of text in reply to someone's post.
2) You select the text and copy it all to the clipboard (just to be safe).
3) You press "Preview" to see what your response will look like.
4) Internet Explorer shuts down and you lose the text you copied onto the clipboard.

or, if you try to be really clever....

1) You type a load of text in reply to someone's post.
2) You select the text and copy it all to the clipboard (just to be safe).
3) You copy the text into a blank Word document and save it as a file.
4) You press "Preview" to see what your response will look like.
5) This time, it's absolutely guaranteed to work as expected, without any problem..

GRRRRR..!!! :mad:
