Site problems?

Simon,
It was me just installing a few updates to the forum view and default pages for search updates I had just finished. All done now so you should be right. I am leaving the office.

Hi Simon. The speed has been slowing down and then speeding up for the last couple of days, since the upgrade was made so it may be teething problems. Your user name does not say "member" so that may be a reason for your watch problem. Cheers,Bob

Cheers mate,

Should I log off and back on or anything?
Just tried to edit my profile to update some stuff and got the following error and thought I should post it asap.





Server Error in '/' Application.

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:



or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:







Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

Hi Simon

Pretty slow in Brissy as well .Seems to go all right for short bit but then takes ages to load anything. I now log off and come back in a few minutes if I'm still interested. Still can't open members gallery but will have to see how the upgrade goes.

Same here near Canberra - super fast when its working but fairly frequently the site stops loading. Comes back after a few minutes. Has been like that for days now, since before the change to the new servers really.

Also today I have found that I can't edit the captions in blogs. It will let you do so and appears to accept the change but when you go to preview the old version is what shows. Seems to be the same problem with my avatar - the photo has been changed but not able to change the caption. I have noticed a few other members have avatars with this problem.

Cheers,

Val

Incredibly slow for me too Simon. It has been slow for a couple of years to the extent that although i try and take a look daily, opening one or two threads at a sitting is all my patience can bear. Strangely after David did something a couple of weeks ago, it came good for one evening only.

Also the button for Reply at the bottom of the thread has gone - having to scroll up again (and w - a - i - t to get there) to the Reply button is tedious.

P A I N F U L L Y S L O W at times!!!!

David posted that he was finished maintenance a couple of hours ago....... so what's with it? I really am losing patience.

Just renewed my Membership but am wondering about what value I am getting for my money!!!

I might add that when I was doing maintenance in my own business I did it 'out of hours' so as to not inconvenience the customers. Sure it meant working in the Wee Small Hours but so be it.

Site problems alright. Only 9 threads for the day, just 18 replies to those and even less followups! It wasn't so long ago you could get 50 responses to a single topic. It's so frustrating typing out a reply only to have the computer freeze & lose it all. It happens so often now I save the reply before hitting the submit button.
