Title: Have Changes Slowed Down the Site?
Post by: Phillip Dampier on April 02, 2006, 12:04:49 pm
I increased substantially the number of message replies appearing on each page of the forum.  Please let me know if this has significantly slowed down the forum.  If it has, I'll have to scale back this feature a little bit.

Yes, quite a bit.  I'd rather have speed over a lot of things.  Thanks for asking, Phillip.  If I may be so bold, I'm sticky-ing this thread for a bit.  Folks, please reply to this, so Phillip can know.

Hi Phil,
I also noticed the slowdown, and I would prefer the old pace back.  Thank you for asking,  and thank you also for the fanfiction forum, tell ya what, thank you for everything here.

I'm not noticying any change in speed.. but I might be late for the whole thing..

One other thing - many times when I log in I have to put my password twice. It often does not work the first time.

Any one else experiencing this?  And I'm not mis-typing my password!  ;D I'm being extra careful and still, I have to do it twice almost every time.. Or is the log-in name case specific?

The more posts per page thang is working beautifully for me.

Much more convenient.

Well, that's my .02 cents.   ;D

That has happened to me a few times.  I am not sure what is causing it.  You can avoid having to log in at all if you set your session length at forever at the login screen and then just avoid clicking the "Logout" link on your way out.

I never noticed any slowdown.  No password troubles yet here.

I scaled back the number of replies per page which should cause posts to load more quickly.  Is this helping?

Well, Philip. I'm always logged out, whether I click on logout or not. As soon as I go to another site and than go 'back' I'm looged out..   ???

It's not really a problem, I'm just wondering why.

That may have to do with your cookie or browser settings.  If you are using Firefox, that might make a difference somehow.  I am using Internet Explorer and stay logged in.  I'll have to explore this further.

I never noticed any slowdowns when it was set to more like 50 replies per page or something. What is it at now? And, is there any way to make more topic threads visable per page on that part of the forum? Just curious. I agree if it slows people down it's not worth it.

I seem to never log out!  Even yesterday when I closed my browser and turned my computer on and off!  It says I've been on for 23 hours and 6 minutes.  That can't be...can it?  :)

Isn't that the total since you've registered on March 30th? Not 23 hours and 6 minutes in a row? Hmm..
