Message Board Speed

**Aaron Peluso** · 03-20-2007, 10:02 AM

Has anyone noticed that the forums are unusually slow today/yesterday?

It seems to me that they are intermittently slow. One minute they will fast as hell, and then 10 minutes later it will take forever to load a single page...

**JoshM.** · 03-20-2007, 10:16 AM

it's taking a while for my pages to load when usually it used to be uber fast.

its even taking a while for me to post this right now.

**ZapBulletRider** · 03-20-2007, 10:23 AM

hard for me to say, I access it mainly from work and the network sucks here, so it's always slow. But it seems to be normal from home.

yes.

**Aaron Peluso** · 03-20-2007, 12:51 PM

I was going to look into it further but now it seems to have been fast as hell for the last couple hours...

Is anyone still having speed problems?

**Islandboy** · 03-20-2007, 01:00 PM

Every now and then like you said it gets slow.

Dont think I didnt see that little database hiccup yesterday either.

**Aaron Peluso** · 03-20-2007, 01:19 PM

what database hiccup?

**narwhal** · 03-20-2007, 01:24 PM

The homepage works perfect now but I am noticing inconstancy in speed with the boards.

**RexSkimmer** · 03-20-2007, 01:49 PM

yeah, some threads would pop up right away and others took like a few minutes

I dont know for sure what was the deal. But yesterday I was on, dont remember the time. But I was on one thread, and pushed the off-topic button, and a message which went something like this came up:

Database Error.

Try using the refresh button on your browser.

This error has been forwarded to the Administration(Linked to Peluso@skimonline.com or something with Peluso in it). If this problem persists contact the administrator.

It was gone within mins though so it wasn't a big deal. I just thought it would be down for hours or days, then I'd have to go find my razorblades again...

**Scrub** · 03-20-2007, 09:54 PM

it was super slow at about 730 am pst, i have definitely noticed.

**Walruz996** · 03-21-2007, 07:37 AM

Worked fine for me up until this morning, now its taking about a minute to load the page some times, then a few seconds the next.

**skimminOB** · 03-21-2007, 09:46 AM

right now for me it is going pretty slow in comparison to the norm

**Scrub** · 03-21-2007, 10:12 AM

sooo slow

**Islandboy** · 03-21-2007, 10:49 AM

Mine is rolling now... its on speed compared to yesterday....

**Islandboy** · 03-21-2007, 11:05 AM

Spoke too soon, I felt like I was in dial-up land just now...

**Chrith** · 03-21-2007, 11:45 AM

off topic is just really slow others are fine

**Aaron Peluso** · 03-21-2007, 11:51 AM

thanks for all your feedback guys. I am going to try and look into it a little further.

Please keep me informed of ongoing problems/delays.

+1

**RexSkimmer** · 03-21-2007, 12:40 PM

it seems fine for me

**Aaron Peluso** · 03-21-2007, 12:45 PM

sometimes its super fast for me, other times a little slow and on occasion very slow.... over the last couple days, for me.

**Billy Heilbron** · 03-21-2007, 12:54 PM

I havnt had any trouble with the message board, but the media center was crawling yesterday. I couldn't get a lot of the pictures to load. Seems to be working a little better now, but still rather slow.

**Aaron Peluso** · 03-21-2007, 01:03 PM

the media center is lightning fast for me right now, its delay has corresponded to the MB delay from what I can tell.

**paddymack** · 03-21-2007, 01:34 PM

aaron you do a wonderful job

it has never been slow for me

**Mapdash** · 03-22-2007, 07:31 AM

i seem to get the most delay when clicking on a forum from the main screen. It just took like 30 seconds to load and bring up the skim dicscussion forum.

**dan.nj** · 03-22-2007, 08:09 AM

Yeah, its loading a lot slower today than it has been in a while.

**Aaron Peluso** · 03-22-2007, 01:02 PM

it seems like 7:30 or so in the AM PST it is slow. Later in the day it is fast. Thats what I have been noticeing.

**jake** · 03-22-2007, 07:26 PM

i have been noticing how important spelling is.

im so sorry pelutocon. im so sorry. i had to.

HandsomeJonneh · 03-22-2007, 08:46 PM

bump for potential banning of hippie-tron by erin

**emt239** · 03-23-2007, 08:05 AM

its been fine until this morning

**BART** · 03-23-2007, 09:28 AM

it's super slow right now -- 9:27am . was also super slow earlier, around 8:30am.

if it is a shared server, i wonder if another service or site the server is hosting gets a ton of usage in the morning.
