Re: Forum speed
Just trying to help. I'd be hammering the web designer though to make sure IT really isn't the cause. Never ever ever ever had an IT system upgrade go to plan. Those guys always find a way to cause grief and then eventually find a way to pin point something else.
Upgrades are almost always fraught with "issues", trust me.

Re: Forum speed
Don't let them off that easily Rosy.
Put it to you this way, I have had 3 posts tonight NOT post at all. They disappeared after hitting the "post" button as if they didn't occur.
Handball over to you my dear.

Re: Forum speed
It's fact Rosy. Nothing condescending about it at all. Can't help you if you do or do not want to focus on feedback from your users. Posts have gone missing when the post button was hit whether you think it is speculation or not.
IF speed is a server issue only then it's easy to fix then. Good luck with that.

Re: Forum speed
Calling me your "dear" is very condescending in the context of this thread.
I am happy for feedback. I'm aware of what's happening to posts. I don't think that was speculation. Your blaming the upgrade of the forum is speculation though, especially if you can't give technical reasons behind it when requested. Speculation and guesswork isn't going to solve our problem unfortunately.
How is the server issue easy to fix? What do they need to do?

Re: Forum speed
I take back the My Dear comment.
If the server is the speed issue, then get them to change the server to one that is reliable.
Posts going missing is a completely seperate issue.
In all my career I repeat, I have never ever ever ever had an IT systems upgrade go smoothly. Those guys get away with far too much when it comes to delivering a seamless transition. Never.

Re: Forum speed
Ok then, if they cannot get a reliable server and identify why posts go missing when the post button is hit and you think that is not helping you in pin pointing the problem then, oh well.
Good luck with that Rosy, truly.

Re: Forum speed
Rosy, the site's pacing better now. So even though most are posting quickly, but not as quick as during the game, it must be something to do with that??

Re: Forum speed
I don't think it's to do with posting speed. it was fine the first half and it's fine post game now when there have been over 300 online at once. I haven't heard but I suspect our hosts were monitoring the forum and have made changes.
I don't want to go into detail because I don't really understand it.
The gist is our hosts have moved to a new server with a completely different operating system. The latest apache software works differently to the previous server by defaulting different values to a lot of the parameters that control it. They need to find out what is happening before they can explicitly change them. They have been making changes to the connection restrictions. (Hope that makes sense to some. All gobbledegook to me).
