Forum speed is all over the place...

[highwire]

Yep, having the same combo of good speeds, then hangs, usually with dynamic.anandtech.com showing in the info bar.

Every time this upgrade process is done more things get broken. Really I swear it's like climbing out of a GD well and for every foot you gain you fall down six! :|

The speed is HORRIBLE! We have dual T1's on an Astrocom load balancer and every page freaking flies EXCEPT this site. This is intolerable!

As I recall, one or more of Anandtech staff has a close relation to Fusetalk. Thus the beta testing.

just did an edit of my last line for a typo right after it displayed and reposted. The post then displayed the quote box as source instead with something like "Begin blockquote ***text*** end blockquote>".
I edited again, deleting that stuff and replaced with bracket Q's. Could be a known bug

Here's another person with problems.

It's extremely bad today - pretty much the whole day I've logged on here the main forum page has taken forever to load. Even clicking the "reply" button right now left me waiting 30 seconds for this window to load.

I was always curious... what kind of servers and how many are they using for the site? I dont think it's an internet connection problem unless the new forums require more bandwidth. Obviously that's a more expensive upgrade then just upgrading the servers..

 

[thomsbrain]

forum speed has been all over the map for me since the upgrade. sometimes the page loads... sometimes it doesn't!

The following combination of clicks and typing took from 9:05AM to 9:14

RIDICULOUS...yeah that's right. I used all caps.


Typing time for this post = 1.2ish minutes

Another note of terrible performance, it's been this way since the upgrade and irritating enough that I'm making fewer visits to the site as a result. Not sure if this matters in the great scheme of things but if others are doing the same and it's driving traffic away from your site and your paid advertisers it can't be a good business decision to let this drag on in perpetuity.

Aye, matey.

 

[rise]

yeah. its "be back later" slow today.

 

[Aharami]

was there ANY QA testing done before this new software was rolled out???! Man this site is slow! so frustrating. if there's an upgrade going on, atleast let the users know by means of a message in Latest News area...

Extremely slow here too...:thumbsdown:

 

[amdskip]

It kinda sounds like Anandtech is the QA testing for fusetalk which is very very bad. I'll be happy just as long as it gets fixed.

 

[Zepper]

Yup, responsiveness of the site is really in the dumper today.

.bh.

 

[Safeway]

It took 3 minutes to load this page on a 74,000kbs (actual) connection. It will probably take 2 minutes to post.

What the hell guys? Go buy VBulletin!

I hope things get better real soon. I've went from spending hours on these forums per day to spending an hour or less, and that is mostly waiting on the damn thing to load.

 

[indamixx99]

Wow, its a lot faster today. I wonder what they did to fix the problem

 

[Razgriz]

speed is fine today. much better than before.

 

[ForumMaster]

yes. the new forum software is completly borked. not rendering properly and having really inconsistent speed.

 

[Razgriz]

being slow today...sometimes certain forums and topics don't load at all and some load after a while.



There is some work going on to try to fix some of the current problems.

It's taking 3 minutes to load a page for me right now.

Back to normal now.
