RMweb Premium Kylestrome Posted January 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm guessing that the reason everything's so slow is that Andy is using the server to mine Bitcoin to finance the site. 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Kevin Johnson Posted February 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm no expert when it comes to host thingamy jigs and computers but you don't see other well known forums having these problems.

All forums will have technical issues at some point or another. Bear in mind the overall size, number of users, traffic levels and storage (we're talking millions of images) - you won't be comparing like with like. I am not denying changes or improvements need to be made and there are discussions in progress but it's of no help whatsoever when armchair experts sit there saying should be done. It is. But it doesn't happen overnight. 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong. "I don't see the forums I frequent having these problems" - fixed it for you. Type2.com has been poorly for months in a way that would be the end for most forums. But then it's only got a few thousand VW van fans and been running since the 1990s. It's coming back now, but the rebuild has (apparenlty) been a struggle. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neil Posted February 1, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2022 I don't know if this is related to the slow issues but I've noticed that often when I get to the bottom of a page and I select the next page (either by number or the next button) I get taken to either the mid point of the next page or the bottom. Not a big problem but I thought it worth mentioning in case it's linked. Also should say re. slowness that a touch of perspective (and patience) wouldn't hurt; I remember dial up and how long pages took to load then. 1 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted February 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2022 I have the same issue at home (Firefox on Linux) but not at work (Chrome on W7). I thought it might be a recent update, so interesting to find someone else experiencing it as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd, I'd not changed anything there to prompt it to always go to the bottom (show latest ticked) and changing it to show first unread has solved the issue. It's almost as if something was changed as a default but I'm sure that isn't really the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted February 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2022 Got to say that my bad day at the office with systems playing up it feels like a walk in the park compared to what you go through on a daily basis at the moment. Sadly modern life appears at times to have lost the patience we had in the 90s and before. Thank you for what you do. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletin boards on 300bits/sec lines. I'm still getting the problem of a submitted post not saving, then "submit reply" re-appears, I click it again and get two copies of the post submitted.

I submitted a post, got the greyed-out "saving" so went away and read War & Peace from cover to cover, came back and found it still hadn't posted, but there was a red message telling me not to post again for 47 seconds. Messages that were well-intentioned in ordinary times become quite barbed now. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I've had a shedload of 520s, 522s, 524s and 525s over the last few days. I also got a message saying the site could not be displayed because "MySQL server has gone away". Another armchair expert alert probably. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted February 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2022 Actually, I quite like the "lottery element" of good old RMweb at the moment, adds a bit of excitement to one's day I think. Also it sort of echoes so many other aspects of life, ie its imperfection, unexpectedness, randomness, repetitiveness, which is also quite endearing. Anyway, it hasn't stopped lots of people posting the usual nonsense, so it can't be all that bad!! (myself included, obvs) Seriously, I feel for the folk wrestling with the enormous dung beetle that has got into the works, good luck chaps! And I loved the way that CK's pm to many folk about the late Grahame Hitchen appeared to have broken the forum in sending out multiple and confusing notifications, it certainly confused me! That would have made Grahame chuckle I think! Simon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been an RMWebber for a few years now, and seen the team have deal with more than a few problems, but this one must really have Andy tearing his hair out. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimboBrit Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Am I the only one not seeing photos in forum posts? This is happening both on my desktop computer and iPhone.

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted February 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2022 Seems a lot faster now, is that because there's not many people about or has Andy injected a go faster tonic into the system? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From about 5.00am the system decided it wasn't working today until I coaxed it out of the cupboard with a banana. Whilst no-one was able to post and couldn't see images the whole thing ran a lot faster; so we know what to do now. 1 6 2 1 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
