Fiddling

[Lilith]

I've been fiddling trying to set a few things differently to see if it improves performance...let me know if I broke anything.:D

[Teddy Bear]

LOL!!

Geezzzz Lil.... I saw 'fiddling' and thought you were doing something MUCH different!! ;) What a disappointment to find out your only talking about the site. :( I haven't noticed anything changed.

Yet... :)

[Steph]

Yep, I thought she was fiddling with something something, too. :(

You know who this thread title is going to crush come Monday? WI, that's who!

[Lilith]

lol maybe I will do some of that fiddling too;) Just to keep WI from being crushed of course:D

[Steph]

I understand. We're both looking out for a friend here.

[Teddy Bear]

You're such a good person Lil.
To be willing to do that for WI.

*sigh*....

Lilith the board was moving very slowly for me when I first got on. Sorry for the cursing, I didn't mean it Hun. :D

Lilith,

I had the same problem as TinglingTess. Took more than 2 mins to load here, while on the other tab, the BBC was normal.

[Lilith]

Once you were here was it faster or taking 2 mins to load each page?

[Pegasusx62]

pages seems to be loading faster Lilith....and like the others...was expecting some "fiddling around" giggles

[Lilith]

good...good...nothing I fiddled with should be making things slower. Mmmmmm slow fiddling....I need an assistant for that.

[Pegasusx62]

always love assistance with slow fiddling myself...mmmmmm lol

[jseal]

Lilith,

I solemly promise to take two minutes to fiddle with you whenever you ask.


...unfortunately, on the technical issue, the slow loading persisted for approx. 20 minutes.

[Lilith]

but it's fine now??? Unfortunately we share a server with other large sites and so until things get sorted we will probably continue to have periods with lag time. Right now I have not had a page take more than 3 secs to load including Who's Online. If you can please note what time it is when you have a serious lag. Thanks!

at 12:29 a.m. it took 45 seconds for the first thread I clicked on to load.
Ohhhh and then I went to blondbabes thread to post a reply and it wouldn't let me add any smilies at all.

[Lilith]

It should allow you to use 4 ...I set a limit on the amount of smilies per post, if you tried to use more, it will deny the post.

[Scarecrow]

:wave:

Only four smilies, those are fightin' words

:jedi2: :rant:

:hair:



P.S. I would have put a happy face here, but it would not let me..... hehehehe

[Lilith]

4 used to be the max before the new software

15:20 ET, 45 secs, Smut Games, The Five Word Story Which Never Ends

[cowgirltease]

Clicking on this thread at 5:22 p.m. took 20 seconds. Heyyyyy we're getting faster! :)

[cowgirltease]

It should allow you to use 4 ...I set a limit on the amount of smilies per post, if you tried to use more, it will deny the post.
I had went back and deleted all but one smiley and it still wouldn't take it. I guess it just got weird on me cuz everything is okay now.

[LixyChick]

Lil? What's the reason (give it to me in dumbass...not tekkyese...so I'll understand...lol!) that you stress that we should all be in "Pixies Place Forums vbulletin 3 Style"? I was curious because I can go a bit faster if I am set on "sitestyle" (for example) and keep replies to a thread at 20 as opposed to 30 or more. I was wondering if this is an example of the difference between dial-up and DSL...or whatever? I don't actually know what the style set is for, except that I have a different skin to look at. Soooooo...if I don't set it to "Style 3", what's the big deal?

[Lilith]

It may not matter but site style 3 includes the skin set up for this site as opposed to just the VB software. Actually as I got to thinking...it may be part of the problem not necesarily the solution. I don't know. I wish I were more techie. All I know is that the times you typically visit the site are not busy periods, nor are they terribly busy for the other sites on this server and so it makes no sense that it is a bandwith server issue. It's not slow because too many people are connected to it. And I still have little or no lag especially at times like right now. And I have it set to style 3... will continue to inform the new owners about it.

[thereIam]

Well, I for one have experienced absolutely no (yet) slow down in page loading.

At least not since the upgrade unceremoniously booted my ass out! :p

[LixyChick]

Hmmmm...curiouser and curiouser!

I'll just wait and see how this plays out!

06:40 - 06:47

Moving between forums, 20 - 40 secs on average, 1 timeout

[Lilith]

well I have been on that whole time and have zipped through with no lags at all...very interesting

[WildIrish]

I'm crushed!

But not experiencing a noticable delay in accessing pages.

[jseal]

Lilith,

Yes. I noticed that. I thought you'd find it interesting.
