Title: Speed of access to the forum
Post by: doganjo on July 14, 2014, 06:09:48 pm: Is anyone having speed problems today? I'm finding TAS extremely slow today, but other websites are as normal.

As opposed to what it usually does - more or less the speed of light :roflanim:. Today it was like the slow boat to China. I restarted my machine thinking it was that but it was still as slow. Every other website I've been on is OK.

Post by: Dan on July 15, 2014, 08:35:43 am: Sorry folks, we had a flood of spam registrations over an extended period that caused a slow down. All should be back to normal now. :thumbsup:

Post by: Womble on July 15, 2014, 08:57:30 am: Sorry for the sarcasm Doganjo - I just get Broadband Envy from time to time!

You prompted me to investigate though, and it turns out a bird had knocked my ariel off by 90 degrees. So my internet connection is now back to just painfully slow as opposed to the glacially slow it has been for the past couple of weeks. Thankyou!! :thumbsup:

Title: Re: Speed of access to the forum
Post by: Dan on July 15, 2014, 04:53:19 pm: Sorry folks, still working on getting to the bottom of this. :-\

I've identified and eliminated another bottleneck which should improve the performance for most users.

Please continue to report any speed issues if you have the patience.

TY. :)

Just realised where you are, Anke - if you see a couple with two Brittanys and a weimaraner say hello to them - my friends bill and Liz! :excited:

Post by: Dan on July 15, 2014, 05:29:49 pm: I've temporarily added some performance info at the bottom of each forum page. It looks like this:

Page created in 0.441 seconds with 18 queries.

If you experience a slow down please let me know what these numbers say so I can eliminate some potential causes.

Thanks,

Dan
