With the new upgrade, I can honestly say, I'm rarely reading this board anymore-- not because I don't want to... but because I CAN'T.

It takes in the order of 30second to 1 minute to switch forums during the daytime.

Very obnxious, and quite sad-- I'de give up the new 'features' (which I don't use) back for the speed the board was before.

... I'm sure this post will take 15minutes to post ... /sigh

 

While I have noticed it being slower it takes nowhere near 30 seconds to a minute for me to switch forums. Are you using dial-up?

 

I'm new and don't know how it was before, but It takes me that long (30 sec between forums) both at work (t1) and home (comcast cable), just an fyi.

 

- SOMETIMES its really slow... and the past few days I have been getting 'page cannot be displyed' A LOT

 

We're using three webservers to run the site now.

Problem: When one of the servers goes down, the other two can't keep up. We have a flakey server that's going down a lot in the past few days so when that happens, the site slows down or fails to load properly.

Solution: Add another webserver. This is what you guys who are members are paying for in part. The new dual-Xeon server is on the way and we hope to have it up and running sooner rather than later.

 

- im not going to complain about speeds because im not a member and I do not contribute anything to the site..

 

if only everyone would learn to see things that way

 

The better answer is....here's my $20 so I can feel good about helping to build a better s2ki

 

Well, in my experience it's been slightly faster than it was pre-redesign.

4th webserver should help.

 

It will make a huge difference. The flakey machine needs a reboot twice a day and is really killing the site. Once the new one gets online we can take the other one down and give it a good talking to
