slow forum...

Baz · Apr 28, 2012, 15:38:13

...at the moment for me.

any one else got the same

Glenn · Apr 28, 2012, 15:39:34

It's been slow at times throughout the day Baz. It took approx 45 - 60 seconds to post a reply just now.

Baz · Apr 28, 2012, 15:41:00

yeah thats about the same for me Glenn

Rik · Apr 28, 2012, 16:18:52

It was completely unresponsive from about 12:30-12:45, Baz.

Gary · Apr 28, 2012, 16:44:20

Now and then when I post the forum goes slow, never used to be like this

I know I'm not a regular but its really annoying.

Baz · Apr 28, 2012, 16:46:30

any ideas why Rik

seems to be just the forum for me and Pals was too

Glenn · Apr 28, 2012, 16:50:40

We have been told it's something to do with a website that we share the server with.

Small end of a pipe with a website that has a higher priority then, Glenn.

Steve · Apr 28, 2012, 16:57:24

We do seem to be further down on the food chain.

Says a lot without having to use words really. The help site for their own product should have a higher priority.

I'm a little surprised this has only just been reported as the forums have been running slow or unreachable for a while now. Perhaps it's just that members can't report it if the site is not responding. It would be useful to know how much disruption this is actually causing so if you are having problems please leave a post here even if it's after the event. Thanks

Rik · Apr 28, 2012, 17:50:27

Now sticky...

pctech · Apr 28, 2012, 19:08:10

Slow from here too at random times.

JB · Apr 28, 2012, 22:06:25

I moved to Zen just over a month ago and had put the slowness of IDNetters down to no longer being on the same network. Although everything else is normal and fast. Looks like it has nothing to do with my change of provider if IDNet subscribers are experiencing slowness too.

Rik · Apr 29, 2012, 10:34:16

It's one of the co-hosted sites on the server we share, JB. It hogs all the resources at certain times, and the forum just stops or slows down to an unworkable pace, eg 2 minutes to load a page. We've also had a competition, possibly on the same site, which took us out for some time due to 75,000 people trying to enter it.

Thanks for the info Rik, nice and reassuring. I guess when you make a change you are always suspecting something you are not too familiar with.

Pouring down here in Cheshire with an really strong easterly wind. 18C and sunny on the Costa Blanca. Have got lots to do outside here in UK for the next two months but the WX isn't helping one bit.

Rik · Apr 29, 2012, 10:43:16

I think we're under the same cloud, JB, it's weird to think it was warm and dry a month ago.

Glenn · Apr 29, 2012, 10:44:28

It started here about 7am yesterday, I don't think it has stopped for more than an hour since.

Rik · Apr 29, 2012, 10:46:53

Ditto. Still, we only need about another 180 days like this to replenish the aquifers.

Lance · Apr 29, 2012, 10:49:28

Ditto again. I'm getting fed up with it now!

Simon · Apr 29, 2012, 10:51:28

Sane here, but they'll probably say it's the wrong type of rain.

Are you sure?

Glenn · Apr 29, 2012, 11:04:00

Anyway back to the original topic, so far today, the forum has been fine, no slow downs.

Rik · Apr 29, 2012, 11:11:58

I'd noticed. I wonder what's changed.

Baz · Apr 29, 2012, 12:01:45

yeah seems better today.

is that other site the cycle related one Rik.

I wonder if their site slows down too though
