RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted January 26, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2022 PLease note this is not a 'Rant' , but hopefully informative for Andy Y and the Mods who have my ongoing sympathy for all they're having to deal with at the moment. After a day of relative normality yesterday, I'm sorry to say I'm finding that RMWeb i really out of control for me this morning. Ignoring the known 'slow response' issue, the most significant problem was while posting in a topic where I made my usual quota of typing errors. When back keying and correcting errors, the reply box closed, the screen scrolled variously to another topic or another post in the same topic. When I re positioned the cursor and opened the 'reply to topic' again my text up to the point where I made the error was present (including the uncorrected error) and I had to repeat the correction and further text I'd keyed before things went haywire. This happened several times in succession Then when trying to select this topic to post this, the system (a system?) seemed determined that I'd not be able to access, the screen switching between other topics. Then when I did manage to get to this topic, I instantly got error 524. Windows 10 laptop MS Edge. Regards, John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted January 26, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2022 Using the site has been like wading through treacle for the past week or so. It was the same this morning... Until 11.25, when it suddenly sped up again! (For me anyway. I hope everyone is seeing the same thing.) 10 minutes later and it's still OK. There are some delays but it's perfectly usable. Fingers crossed it stays like this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free At Last Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 'Load more activity' sends me back to the top of the page. I also note the 'back to the top' arrow is missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Popular Post AY Mod Posted January 26, 2022 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2022 I fully understand everyone's frustrations; you can safely multiply that to get to my level. The hosting provider have been hopeless/evasive when it's obviously a connection to server/ read issue and it's at the stage where I'm trying to get further support within the business as the current staff haven't got the experience of the platform and software. 1 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 26, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2022 Andy - we know you love this 17- year-old baby with all your heart. I hope someone somewhere sees the light soon - for your sake as much as anyone else's. It is not healthy to be grinding your teeth on a daily basis. Bon courage. 1 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejstubbs Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Generally seems a lot better now, although loading the "New Content" page still seems a bit 'sticky'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 26, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2022 Yesterday I had an unusual occurence when trying to edit a post that I had already been posted, to add some extra text. When I selected "edit" the post changed to edit mode but completely devoid of any content, it was missing all the text and a hotlink to a youtube page. I cancelled, waited a couple of minutes and tried again and this time it worked perfectly. Sometimes, recently, I have found that when saving a post it appears to be saving, sits there for maybe 3 or 4 minutes and goes back to "Submit Reply" and the post hasn't been submitted. It has happened on an odd accasion in the past but has occured several times recently. Hit "Submit Reply" again and it does it straight away. It's just done it again in another topic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Site is a bit better at present, but still tempermental. One issue I've not seen mentioned is that it is often slower when using the browser 'back' button. Hope that helps, all the very best in getting this sorted 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyDee68 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Just wanted to say a public “thank you” to @AY Mod Andy (and his team?) for all his (their?) work behind the scenes trying to get this beast of a website/forum to run properly.

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted January 26, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2022 Could it be that these annoying ‘testing’ videos are slowing things down. They have been running for a long time now so isn’t it time they were removed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Kevin Johnson Posted January 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2022 Andy can I say you are doing a great job keeping the forum up and running despite the forums slow speeds. At the moment some parts of the forum are loading faster than other section. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted January 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2022 Just to report back: After it was working well late yesterday morning, the website seemed to gradually slow down during the rest of the day and at the moment it's pretty treacly again. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted January 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2022 I would like to assure all those that would like to complain about ads. and vids. that I am seeing the same slowness here at work, where the company firewall blocks all ads.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted January 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2022 It's a bit more complicated than going to Uswitch and clicking on another host. Although it's still a bit slow I haven't had any 5xx errors for a few days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
