Absurdly Slow...
 

Am I the only one experiencing how freaking slow OWF is lately? It took me almost a minute to open a page just now. Compared to any other site I open this place it pretty damn slow, whats up Alcar?

No problems for me.

And, please members, we don't now need a chorus of "It works fine for me too". Only post if you're also having a problem.

I have noticed recently that at random times OWF lags quite a bit - but I wasn't sure if it was simply my 'net connection. Anyway, I've contacted the server support team, so hopefully they'll be able to track down what's causing it.

As it stands, I haven't changed anything recently, so I do suspect it's a server load issue or something similiar. Might have to be moved onto another cluster.

Alcar...

every now & then mine slows, but just now it slowed so much it'd make a snail look like Linford bloody Christie.

i almost threw the tower out the window.

It is always a little slow for me but I think it's the PC. Sometimes it can't load a page because it's too much slow but I close it, I re open it and it works fine. I'm not finding particular problems.

Sometimes happen me too...

I've noticed occasional slowness.

It goes slow for me occasionally, but I don't really mind it.

So slow for me I haven't been able to post in the past...

The site loads extremely slowly while other sites work normally.

It's sometimes so slow to open a page, I just end up giving up trying to wait.

I was experiencing errors all day today, plus OWF was extra slow. Hurray for slow-bandwagon. But seriously.

Yeah that happened to me yesterday and yesterday's yesterday. I was blaming it on my internet connection.

Right, we have established this is a problem affecting a load of people. My friend Peter is already looking into it. Thank you, everyone.

Cheers Wil :pirate:

I'm still discussing the issue with our server support gurus, so we'll just have to hold on tight for a little bit longer.

As far as I can tell from my limited clustered server knowledge, it might be that we're being hosted on a server with many more people they we originally were. If you remember a little while ago the server was offline for about half a day as we were transported to a new data centre.

So I'm thinking it's the new set-up.

Alcar...

OWF do seem to be loading quite slow at times.
I also get the background flashing when I scroll O_o

Are you using the Native or Industrial style? The background flashing is an unfortunate by-product of a background built in 1px differences/separations. Browsers weren't built with such graphical complexity in mind :p

Alcar...

Even though im new im noticing major slowness occasionally it just decides not to work at all and gives me a blank page :/

I am noticing that it's a little slower... and I found recently an internal error with a 404 Not Found error. And when it's too much slow I must close the window because it doesn't load.

Not only is it insanely slow, but it seems to be reloading all images every time it opens a new page. Open main page: the big industrial OWF sluggingly loads. Click OT: it loads again. And that took like 2 minutes, in the end I couldn't be bothered waiting for a thread to open.

I actually have no idea. :eek:
It isn't to annoying, i didn't notice it until yesterday.

Thats something I've noticed for a while too. I dunno if thats my browser trippin or something else.

I've optimised a few things, so I'd like some feedback from members whether this issue is still occuring. Of course, leave it for a few days, and take note, otherwise it won't be reliable feedback.

Alcar...

Hey Alcar just to let you know the site works great for me now. Not a single issue since you last posted in this thread :)

Don't know what you done but it worked, thanks.

You mean there was ever a problem for you? You joined this month. Technically it should only have gotten amazingly faster for you.

it goes slow for me sometimes too, but it only does that when i load the main page, and some threads

I was actually looking on the boards a while before I joined. The pages always seemed to hang and such but I just figured it might be an issue on my end. After seeing the thread I joined to post my problems but now everything is fine for me lol.

It goes slow for me too..sometimes. I get fed up with it and click it off then log in and everything is fine.

Mmmm stange my is so fast and mollucks assistant, try not to throw the tower out the window.
