forum speed

will · 02-20-2007, 03:13 AM

I made some code changes and removed a few things that we didn't need.

So with these edits and the new server things should be a lot faster now.

Let us know if you notice the speed increases.

Samson The Cat · 02-20-2007, 03:20 AM

Yes, I thought the loading is faster now.

**Trotter** · 02-20-2007, 07:51 AM

Thank-you so much for all of your hard work, the fastest thing I've seen since Ronaldo's feet....

SilverSpoon · 02-20-2007, 08:00 AM

Very nice.

charlespt · 02-20-2007, 09:24 AM

Yes it's faster now.
Great job

Jeff · 02-20-2007, 09:35 AM

as you guys will see... we are moving forward with the forum graphics too. You can view a sample in Whatever.

SilverSpoon · 02-20-2007, 09:36 AM

Yeah, I saw that. Not bad, actually. But for some reason it makes me think of the 1980's...

Jeff · 02-20-2007, 09:37 AM

Will and I are back at our day jobs... 3am was late enough for one night.

**open32** · 02-20-2007, 12:22 PM

Very nice. Its noticably faster. Should be a lot better for people with slower connections.

**Trotter** · 02-20-2007, 02:05 PM

Thank-you for the forum graphics Jeff...

edawg99 · 02-20-2007, 06:22 PM

Thanks for fixing up the forum. I have noticed it is a much quicker now.

Jeff · 02-20-2007, 07:23 PM

Thank will for the forum graphics.. as many of you know, i couldn't figure out the coding in the templates and he stayed up until 5am last night to do it... was at work by 9am...

**open32** · 02-20-2007, 11:46 PM

is there going to be a graphic for all the forums.

If so who is making them?

Mat · 02-20-2007, 11:52 PM

Will is doing the gfx

**Jocasta** · 02-21-2007, 02:02 PM

Is it just me or are pages very slow to load atm?

Jeff · 02-21-2007, 02:02 PM

it was being caused by an ad... i did just notice that... stupid ads...

**Jocasta** · 02-21-2007, 02:10 PM

Ok, thanks. Maybe someone could help me block my ads. I'm on firefox and the ads were blocked before my secruity was updated, now I can find how to block them.

aloha · 02-21-2007, 02:53 PM

Well, Kate you´re not the only one who thinks is slowlier than before! To me it´s the same.
But thank god it´s not broken anymore (I hope so!).

But it´s really annoying that it takes hours to upload the diffenrent forums and that it takes even longer to upload a threat!!!

Can someone change this problem??

**open32** · 02-21-2007, 04:06 PM

^realy? For me it took about 3 seconds before, now it takes about half a second. Sometime an ad does slow things down.

What kind of connection are you using, is this the only site thats slow for you?

**Jocasta** · 02-21-2007, 04:55 PM

This is the only site that's slow, my broadband connection is otherwise fine.
