Problems After Upgrade

[Neil]

Sometimes when I click "Quick Links" then "Todays Posts" I get this message

This forum requires that you wait 10 seconds between searches. Please try again in 10 seconds.

This is even when I have not done a search or even clicked anything for more than 10 Seconds

Mine was doing that yesterday but has settled down. Maybe it is teething troubles

Mine were doing that before the upgrade

[entwisi]

does it for me as well, mainly at work when using Internet Explorer.

I also find it takes an age to paint each screen, far slower than the old site. Again tested at more than one location to rule out teh actual connection

some games in the arcade don't load properly or take an age to start.

got a problem when going on general chat or other things its takes ages to come on screen since the upgrade

I can't repeat these problems. I've even booted into windows and tried internet explorer and the pages load near enough instantly. Please describe the problems in more detail...In the status bar is it trying to connect to something?

Mine was doing that way before the upgrade & not too bothered about the slightly slower page load as it probably has a lot more to load up that the previous one with more stuff on it, so pleased Roy

Roy, tried on Opera, Firefox and IE. definately slower on Opera (Particularly seems to freeze with one image to load), Firefox seems to wait a while after the status bar has loaded before painting the screen(I get a dark grey blank screen, basically the background for anything up to 5 seconds). IE(only 6 as I only have IE at work) does teh same as firefox. i.e. it displays teh grey screen but seems to pause before painting the content. I have also had it stop on this and have to go back and re-click the link.

On a matter of games, I worked out that if you press "Back" to return from submitting a score you can play teh game but it doesn't submit the score. teh only way to guarantee teh score is to follow links in the actual forum.

Can you add the theme selection back in so thjose of us who like the blue ( thinking Cyfr, Jaysay etc ) don't have to have look at RED.
I could also use it easier on my mobile as i recall there was a mobile theme.

[Roy]

Which image is it waiting to load? Is it a javascript file? I still cannot repeat any problems with any browsers and using 2 different internet connections as well as tunneling in from somewhere else as well. If I give you an SSH login to another box can you tunnel in and try it then? PM me for the login.
The blue theme was insecure and doesn't have the extras, and I don't have time to update 2 themes.

[entwisi]

Not sure, as it doesn't seem to be a particular one thats visible. unfortunately I can't tell if its javascript or not as I can't log from here teh requests(although, thinking about it I 'could' install squid and proxy it through that which should give me the ability to track the individual requests.

fair enough about teh themes, I'll play with squid and let you know how I get on with that.

If your currently on windows then install safari and open the Activity window, this will show you connections and what it is struggling with.

Mines the same in Spain..........very slow using IE

[MargaretR]

I have started using Firefox as recommended, and find it faster than Internet Explorer but still slower page loading than before the changes

Mine is a snail's pace but I put that down to Bulldog our ISP which is absolute rubbish at the moment.
