Site Problems

[Letters]

Have you had problems accessing the new GW?

I've seen a few people mention problems. I've had occasional issues but it's generally been OK. In order for Jofnn to investigate can people reply to this thread and tell us when there have been problems and what the problem has been (usually the page not loading, I think).

It would be helpful to know when the problems occur and how long they last.

Ta.

Is no-one else playing?

10am Monday 27th June
Got: 10060 - Connection timeout
Internet Security and Acceleration Server

That was on the forum home page. Was fine when I refreshed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I haven't had any problems today, only yesterday when Jofnn broke the forum.

[Injury Time]

Yeah when I post something all seem to get is





:tumbleweed:






oh.


Occasion slow loading/ need to reload ala this morning too.

[Toronto Gooner]

I have not had any problems accessing the site but sometimes it has been very slow to load one of my posts.

[LDG]

Nothing major for me.

Sometimes the page get's stuck and you have to choose another page and go back, or reload :shrug:

That's because your posts suck.

[Cripps_orig]

Bump?

Can people report what problems they're getting and when, it'll help Jofnn look at the issues. Ta.

There's sometimes a major lag (30 seconds+) waiting for a page to load or refresh, it's intermittent. Is the site on a shared server? I bet some punk is hogging the database with unoptimised queries.

I love it when you get all technical :loveblush:

Yes, it's on a shared server.

Howcome sometimes when I click 'Reply to Thread' it opens the quick reply box but other times it opens a new page (full reply)?

That's the artificial intelligence plugin, it tracks your postings and predicts when you're serious or just pissing around. When you;re fucking about it shows you the quick reply so the whole thing can be done and dusted ASAP.

Surprise, it's Heart Internet. A good host but I have the same problems with some of my sites hosted with them. I know you're with Hostgator but the registrar is Heart so maybe this is a DNS resolution problem. I've talked to them about it several times but every bloody time the sites has performed like shit off a shovel, the problems never crop up when I need them to.

[Letters]

It's not Heart internet. It used to be.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's not Heart internet. It used to be.

Erm, it is. According to the latest Whois lookup. The registrar I mean, not the host. And your name is really Ann - LOL. Silly name for a boy.

[Letters]

It's registered with them, it's not running there any more. Never was actually. Well, the homepage was, the board has never run there, it was just a redirect.

And the owner...urgh. It's one of the original admin's wives whose card was used for the original registration so it is in her name although I guess I'm the de facto owner.

Yeah right... Ann.

[Letters]

<_< We never had problems when it was redirecting to Invision so I doubt it's a fault at Heart but it's another thing to consider I guess.


And I'm only called Ann at weekends :angry:

[Mr.Singh]

Yeah the site is running quite slower than usual....fix it letters or els

[Young Guns 11]

Dunno if this is something to do with the site or my pc, but youtube (well I think they're youtube clips) clips aren't showing up, just black squares of nothingness. meh

Pfft you need an iPad so you just get blank posts ;)

[Syn]

No problems on my end, or my front.

Edit: wait the opposite of front is back. Messed that up, I dunno everything working ok for me.

[fakeyank]

[Marc Overmars]

Everything is working fine for me.

At worst it can be cumbersome but then my internet has always been shite so I put it down to that.

I don't mean the actual board, that's tip top :good:

Just the people that post on it.

[Xhaka Can’t]

No offence taken.

[Sirjackofwilshere]

I realy miss the old GW..it was good looking, really easy to use and never slowed up my computer. Can't we go back? plsss?? :-(

Every major change like this is bound to have some hiccups along the way... unfortunately, it's not very often you can just have a clean transition with no problems!

The forum itself is very easy to use... and you get much more on here than you would on the other GW. Yes, there's some intermittent performance issues, which I'm investigating at the moment and will hopefully be able to sort within a couple of weeks.

:gp: Performance issues and what to do about them are regularly discussed in the staff room and Jofnn and Letters in particular are discussing issues that are too complex for my pretty head. Seriously though, if people can take a bit of time to post what problems they are encountering, it will help with addressing issues and improve the site.

A lot of work has gone into this site and continues to do so.

Are you prepared to help with any of our problems, or just those related to the site?

[Xhaka Can’t]

I think your problems would give me nightmares.

[Niall_Quinn]

I think your problems would give me nightmares.

Is that a yes or a no? Because I can start right away.
