Has access to this forum slowed down?

From: Phillip Jacovelli


Guys,

Over the last few weeks, my access to the forum has really sloooowed down.

Anybody else experiencing this?

I usually access the forum via my office PC with good internet connectivity, all other internet access seems normal.

As nice as the Web Inteface to the Board is, I find it MUCH easier to
interact via the Email Lists.. there's no waiting and you get to use your
favourite email client for sorting, searching, editing etc.

Same here, it is not nad, but terrible.
This is site specific as other sites pop up very quickly.

Yes,
The amount of time it takes to load up sometimes is ridiculous!

Same here ... don't think it's the amount of users though - I'm in London and often there's just me and the ghosts in here. It will start out fine and then grind to halt.

I agree! In the time that it takes to download a topic, I can make tea and toast and still be waiting! Can somebody speed it up?
Cheers, Jacque :)

And while we're at it...

..the 'number of new messages' counter seems to have gone berserk.

Bloody computers - they'll never catch on.

Hi,

Well I am finding that it has definitely slowed down in the last couple of weeks, and at times I have no patience and just quit the Forum.
I thought it was just my computer, but it doesn't seem that way.

Also my other gripe is that in the last 2 weeks or so everytime I log on it states

0 new

meaning no messages, but in actual fact there are dozens of messages.
So I then go into MORE and TODAYS MESSAGES.

Not sure why this is happening??

Slow to the point of exhaustion . Don't know how anyone on dial-up has enough years in their life to respond .

I think you will find that right now people on dialup are just as fast as people on broadband connections... it's the servers that are causing problems, not the network.

I'd say that WebCentral are simply running too many forums off of a single server... and the databases are having problems keeping up.

According to Ian (WebMaster), the troubles we had in the chatroom recently with major outages were blamed (by WebCentral) on overloading of the chat servers. Looks like there are a lot of people out there chatting and forumming on both this forum and others hosted by the same server.

Someone mentioned computers (they'll never catch on, etc.)

It put me in mind of this gem - I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did....

"Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps weigh 1-1/2 tons."

I agree the forum seems slower to read messages than it was previously a couple of months ago.

For all those users of Micro$oft Outlook, to speed up the delivery of new
messages, add yourself to the mailing lists from the Somersoft Forum:

1. Create a new folder called "Forum"
2. Create a new mail rule that looks for all emails with "listmanager" in
the subject and moves them to your new folder
3. Click on the new folder
4. Click on View, Current View, Customise Current View
5. Click on the Group By button
6. At the top where it says "Group Items By", select "Subject" from the drop
down menu
7. Click on "OK" on the Group By window
8. Click on "OK" on the View Summary window

Outlook will now have a folder that groups emails as per the subject, just
like the forum does on the website...just a hell of a lot quicker!!

Regards

Glenn Mott

The Webmaster has been communicating with the hosting company about performance, and they are investigating options now.

Essentially, the hosting company has acknowledged that we are overloading their servers... the forum is too popular !

It will get better ! A little patience is required until they can finalise a solution.
