Slooooooow

GW has been running as slow as hell for me today. To the point it is unbearable.

Is anyone else having problems?

[The Wengerbabies]

no

[Joker]

Running fine for me

[Jofnn]

Running fine for me... would suggest it's a problem at your end!! :D

[Letters]

Are other sites OK, GB?
I've not had any problems (well, very occasionally I have but it's rare and usually trying again is fine)

[Xhaka Can’t]

Other sites seem ok. Might try a different browser. Working ok now on my phone. This is good news because I'm sat in the cinema watching Winnie the Pooh!

You may (at points) experience very minimal loading issues... i.e. hitting reply, as the site pretty much runs on ajax throughout... but sometimes (as you'll know) it can get it's technical knickers in a twist... a simple re-click or refresh tends to work!

[Sirjackofwilshere]

I've had this for the last 2 weeks on different computers and browsers. Soo annoying.

...and you're just mentioning it now? ;)

What exactly are you doing when it goes slow?

[Sirjackofwilshere]

I just leave. Sometimes it goes back to normal.

Never had this with old GW tbh (:upset:)

[Jofnn]

Yeah, but what are you doing at the time it goes slow... (i.e. are you searching for something?)

I haven't noticed any performance issues... and there's no logs saying that there's any problems... so I'm a bit confused!

[LDG]

Not sure if this is a "slow" issue, but I still have the same problem of a page hanging.

It isn't related to a specific button or menu, just when I click, the page says it's gonna load and then just freezes. When you try and refresh, a dialogue box comes up saying "are you sure you want to navigate away from this page".

I then have to select another page, and then go back to where I was before.

Defo not a problem on any other site I visit :unsure:

[Jofnn]

Hi... this usually happens when you've typed something into the new editor... we've also noticed that it can do it when you click on the post quick reply button (when actually trying to submit)....

I "think" it's linked to the auto-save function that's there (i.e. so if it hasn't saved, it'll warn you)... I'll have a look at the code and see if I can suppress the errors.

[Letters]

Getting some connection problems today, it's timing out.
A refresh sorts it out but not sure why it's happening.

Me too, can't open multiple tabs, pages won't load on them, having to do it all from one tab, which is tedious.

[Injury Time]

hanging for me too on Chrome :coffee:

[Jofnn]

I'm raising it with my host now :)

[LDG]

Any joy on this?? Getting worse for me if anything.

You know when you click a link and the little "loading" bar comes up. Well it constantly gets stuck and hangs. Then you click on another link to try and re-navigate, and that does the same. So I end up clicking on any old link for ages trying to get it to load something, and eventually it works.

It's fine for a few "navigations" and then it does it all over again.

Pissing me off :angry:

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah I've noticed a significant delay too and it's not just my connection this time.

[Letters]

Yes, I think it's getting worse too. We did try something the other day but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Jofnn! Halp!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

If anything it's got better for me.

[Letters]

If anything it's got better for me.

King Kenny strikes again <_<

[dazthegooner]

Yep its pissing me off to but no doubt Jofnn can sort is out in his own time... like NOW!!! ;)

[Jofnn]

tbh - I actually seen an improvement after turning off the auto-save function...

I'll keep looking into it!

[Marc Overmars]

I'm having the same trouble LDG is having, sometimes one click isn't enough to open a link, it looks like it's loading but...it isn't.

An extra click or 2 is needed to open it instantly.

The fate of a nation is in your hands Jofnn. Your time has come, destiny awaits.

[Letters]

I think it's getting worse. It's hard to tell as it's so intermittent but I had to try twice to load this page and the 2nd time was pretty slow.

[dazthegooner]

Pretty slow? More non existant atm.

[Flavs]

Managing PM's is slow as fuck for me, takes ages which is quite annoying while trying to manage 40 football managers, at least 5 of whom are well, a bit thick

Yep, defo getting worse. It's happenning 50% of the time I click on a link now.

We're looking at it.
It could be we'll need to upgrade the hosting to a dedicated server, it seems the shared one Jofnn is using isn't up to it (although tbh I find that surprising as this isn't a hugely busy site so maybe something else is going on).

we're not oblivious to the problems though and we'll fix them asap so we can start to push the site.

Seems to happen quite a lot when I use the quick navigation if that helps....

[Letters]

I think the bottom line is the hosting Jofnn uses isn't up to it. We're looking at a dedicated server, if some of us split the cost between us it shouldn't be too onerous for anyone.

[Boss]

GW is much slower here than it was back home, if that helps.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Ill add my two cents,

Its very slow for me too. Sometimes the pages just lock up and I have cancel the window and open a new one just to get anywhere.

Good to see that its being looked at though.

Letters, why dont you set up a donation thread to help towards the cost of a dedicated server?

Im sure most members would contribute.

[Letters]

Thanks. We'll try to get this sorted asap. We may be able to monetize the site so donations won't be neccessary.

:haha: priceless, so it's true some Arsenal fans really are the most delusional.

[Injury Time]

Certainly not sticking regularly for me, nor GW either :(

[Cripps_orig]

If it helps, GW runs fine on my phone speed wise.

Posting is a different matter

[Jofnn]

Just an update - we are currently in the midst of looking round and pricing up a potential move to a dedicated server...

Thanks again for bearing with us... and lets hope we have it sorted soon!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Is this site running slow for anyone else. It is variable, sometimes it is ok, but it is generally running noticeably slower for me than other everywhere else for me.

[fakeyank]

I just think GW is shit these days. There is no one posting... I think the move to the new GW has been as successful as Arsenal's move to Emirates! I come here coz I dont have any other interest than Arsenal.

Oh, was the question, whether the sites slow.. I think thats fine. :)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It sometimes take an absolute age for me to post something, then it decides to come up with a message asking to leave the page.

Pretty much the same for me and thats when the double posts usually happen.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It is really slow now. Not good at all.

[Coney]

Was very slow for a while - impossibly slow. Opening another tab in GW, slow. Opening another tab to BBC web site, fast. Definitely something to do with GW.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We go through this each time (well ok we've only done it twice) we go through an upgrade. Sucks the big one. Upgrade but lose users.

[Marc Overmars]

Most annoying thing is that it takes ages for most pages to load up 100%, which means if I click the reply button it will take another age to go to the advanced reply box...when I just want the quick reply box.

[Xhaka Can’t]

This site is loading like its 1999.

Seriously, this is fucking dreadful. I'm even thinking of the practicality of going back to In-vision.

[Marc Overmars]

Dial-up. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Practically it will be easy.

Dial-up speed. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is just embarrassing. We just had a memory data exceeding error.

[Cripps_orig]

Could be the end

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We had a good run.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Am I right in assuming old GW could be started up immediately if Letters just flicked a switch?

http://z13.invisionfree.com/goonersweb/index.php?showtopic=39673&st=28830#entry7875050

Check out the last post in this thread. :cool:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Effectively, yes.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Effectively, yes.

I'll admit it, I just tried finding the switch.

[Marc Overmars]

The double posting. :banghead:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can't be blamed for that GB. :lol:

It'll clear, I hope. :unsure:

[Master Splinter]

GW :lol:.

Slower than She-Ra's brain.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I realise I have come across here as an ungrateful turd and apologise for that.

A lot of work has been put in to this forum and I was as useful as a chocolate teapot during the testing phase.

Sorry.

[Flavs]

GW :lol:.

Slower than She-Ra's brain.

:lol:

it is pretty shocking though.

[Jofnn]

Always seems to cause issues although it may be coincidence in this case and we can test as much as we like but you can't reproduce the load of people using the system and seeing how the site performs (well, you can with testing tools, but we don't).

[LDG]

Much faster now.

Nice one Jofnn :good:

[LDG]

Shit.

I cursed it.

My run of quick page loads stopped just when I posted that.

Sort it out Jofnn :rolleyes: :run:

It's very intermittent.

We thought it was going to be a great move and were sold the idea of a World Class forum with World Class features, instead we're losing our best posters and they're being replaced by nobodies! :angry:

[Cripps_orig]

Did something go wrong with the old board hence the move to the new and not really improved board?

I was on my 7 month sabbatical back then and missed all the build up

Although we've had some good years on GW, I think it is time for Letters to go.

There was nothing wrong with the old board but moving gave us more power.
Unfortunately with great power comes great responsibility and it does mean if there are issues we need to sort them out ourselves.

Overall vBulliten is better than Invision and there are new features in the new version which provide tighter integration with FB which, given how ubiquitous FB is, gives us more scope for attracting new members.

[Jofnn]

The thing is though - upgrades for this sort of software is very important to prevent even worse issues.

As mentioned earlier though, I don't see this being upgrade related as we should have seen this impact much sooner! I'm having a look at the server and the database now and I'll make some changes to see if we can speed up the forum.

[Coney]

You jest, surely? :yikes:

[Letters]

You jest, surely? :yikes:
This is not a site which is a target for hackers, we're too small, we're under the radar.
We have never had any issues because we've not been up to the latest version of vBulliten.

Obviously I get the point of upgrades but every time we've done an upgrade (admittedly only a couple of times) it has caused issues which have pissed people off and it's been more trouble than it's worth. It may just be co-incidence this time though as the problem didn't initially show itself.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
