I have the future

The futures bright , the futures green grey -ish

Then i stepped back from the looking glass , returned whence i came through the wardrobe and instantly said to myself ” I dont think we’re in Kansas anymore ” , then I woke up and it was all dream .. … i think

Nothing’s changed Jamie, the maintenance was aborted.

I’m sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Nothing’s changed Jamie,

Is this how you squander your 45645th post?

If it helps, even when the page opens it loads in stages. Scroll down too fast and and you get a white screen which then fills progessively.

Looking at the developer tools there must be something wrong with the .js files in the background. The rest of the site loads in no time apart from 4 files.

Thank God I’ve been lost all day without the redirects and fake viruses and prizes

Was anyone praying for the unborn forum outside the towers?

I’m finding it “slower” but not slow.

But then, I’m a bit slow myself.

I like the fact that there isn’t a like button. I don’t like them.

Slow doesn’t begin to describe it !
Anything to do with the sheer number of folks visiting the site all at once ?

Finding the site really slow. (Android Tablet)

Ay, gawd blimey it’s slll…..o……..w…..w…..w….w………

And nothing to do with it being my end neiverz..

Weird. It’s perfectly fine for me. What’s the difference?

Adverts?

The generators which supply the forum had a reported hiccup hence the speed..

All good here.

Ther used to be 13 ad servers max on thread pages, now 16.

Slow for me too – Safari on mac. Other websites OK.

Oddly it was very slow 15 mins ago (on a chromebook using my OnePlus as a 4g hotspot) whilst the BBC website was quick – but now STW is very much back up to speed.

So what did I manage to view earlier ?

It was all Times New Roman font with green tinge to layout…. didn’t like it at all

Being back the forum as it was way back when I say.

Slow for me on iPhone but has been for months now. Clearing browsing history did used to resolve it.

Edit: I must have entered a parallel universe. No sign of the thread I posted on earlier

Update = I can now see ‘P’ against some people’s names. Privileged, petulant, procrastinator or amazon prime ?

The speed is picking up a bit now in to 4th gear … 😛

same. Just tried it on Chrome & gave up as the Singletrack website isn’t loading at all!

It seems fine on Win10/Chrome/Desktop, slow on Android/Chrome/Mobile. Same network.

I spoke too soon … very sloooowwwwww … think it might only been in 2nd gear. 😀

The speed’s ok for me, Chrome on Android tablet.
Edit
Hang on, it slowed down when I hit send post.

Mobile view or Desktop view?

30- 120 seconds to load a page here. Win 10 in both ffox and IE

Mobile view or Desktop view?

Mobile.
Yep, it seems to be loading pretty quickly.

Flying for me. Was slow for the first few pages – are scripts or images cached locally?

It’s pretty speedy on my Macbook (Safari)

I hate to be the IT Guy but, try logging out and back in again? I had some odd cookie weirdness earlier and that fixed it.

Very slow here (iPad safari)… not sure why or where I found the patience for this thread to load, so that I could post this!

^ What kelvin said. Same here. iPad 4th gen iOS 10.3.3 probably recurring.

vereeey slow at work and slow at home, but both probably a good thing!

Hi Guys, so we (myself, Andy and Tom) had big hopes for today that haven’t panned out yet. To be honest it’s been a massively frustrating day in the tech corner. We started at 4am this morning and it was meant to take just a few hours to bring you an upgraded forum, which is the first stage of a larger plan The challenge and what has got the best of us today is how to build a system that can take the existing 8 million posts and still handle up to 1000 concurrent users. It was a load thing and we felt sure we had it but something in the database wasn’t working right and it ground to a halt pretty quickly. We have ideas as to how to fix it and we’ll regroup in the morning but to be honest we all went home earlier this evening utterly knackered promising ourselves we wouldn’t look at the forum. As it happens we can’t stay away. Tom has already been in poking it during these random slow downs and I thought I’d give you an update before I head for bed.

Desktop, Opera, sloooooooow as a sloooooow thing, “Waiting for available socket” message

Thanks for all your hard work, Mark.

Thanks for the update Mark, must have been massively frustrating. Hopefully just a temporary set back.
