somersoft site performance feedback needed
- Thread starter muppie
- Start date
There were some problems a while ago, and sometimes it would just hang as you posted, and especially edited, a post. But it seems better lately. I thought muppie was being a sticky beak until I saw geoff's post! craigb, nothing is slower than Australia Post - even express post takes 2 days now. Big deal, you get the money back for the envelope, but that is hardly the point.
craigb, about the PM's - they should be instant but I don't know exactly how vBulletin's system works. They are not instant like chat but the next time you load the page it will notify you of any incoming PM's. It is definitely not like email because PM's don't get 'transmitted'. It simply stays in the database on the same system that everyone is accessing through the site.Speed has been good and logon great, i have not had any time outs, so if it stays like this it would be great,
Small request, It seems to take forever to get PM's is it instant messaging, or slower like e-mail or slower like australia post
Please keep posting your feedback throughout the week regarding the site performance. The true test will be on Monday / work days.
thanks for the feedback. How has it been in the past day or so?
ok in the last few days (I guess - I was up the coast and net free for the weekend).
Thanks to Sim' and a few others I run on internode mainly. Along with 3 on the BB and wireless
The PMs - just when you're having a long PM with someone that trail really seems to drag but thats more a scrolling thing than dl speeds

HI again Muppie
I have noticed this weird thing that happens from time to time. I use 'new posts' to read the forum as it shows me all the posts (threads added to) since my last visit. Sometimes when I click on a thread I have made a post in (and seeing there is a new post) I click on it and find that the last post was made ages ago and I had already read it. But on the 'new posts' it says that a post was made this morning.
Unfortunately I cant post a screenshot of what I mean because the file is over the 100kbs

That could well be for a poll. If a thread has a poll it moves to the top of the new posts every time somebody votes.
If that's not it, it's probably a Sim' issue than a Muppie issue.
we appear to be 'next door' to the host server
