Site Slow?

[Lionel]

My imagination or vb.org is slow?
vb.com is faster. Seems like vb.org has been kicked out of servers so they could have resources to themselves?

[Lynne]

It is not your imagination. I have noticed the same exact thing.

[snakes1100]

verrrrrrrrrry slow the past few days.

[Paul M]

My imagination or vb.org is slow?
It does seem to slow down sometimes.

vb.com is faster.
Not for me, vb.com has also slowed down.

Seems like vb.org has been kicked out of servers so they could have resources to themselves?
Thats pure speculation, not based on any facts.

Both have slowed down for me in the last week. In fact vb.com has been slower for me since about the time of vB4 beta 4.

[Lionel]

yes, that was pure speculation. vb.com was very slow for me too. But lately, while vb.org got terrible, vb.com is easier to access with over 1000 connections

[Princeton]

the site is dreadfully slow :down:

if we had full control of our own resources we wouldn't be having these problems

[Lionel]

hummm I hope IB will not neglect vb.org.

[vbenhancer]

today, vb.com is 25% slow... vb.org is 125% slow... i can't get a page before 8 seconds...

[Lynne]

I am finding vb.org really, really slow all the time. vb.com is only slightly slow some of the time. There is a definitely difference in slowness between the two sites for me - vb.org is much, much slower than vb.com.

[Sean James]

Agreed this site is running painfully slow atm

[ShawnV]

It took a very long time to find this thread. :p

[kylek]

today, vb.com is 25% slow... vb.org is 125% slow... i can't get a page before 8 seconds...

Yup, same for me, between 8 to 9 seconds.

[Paul M]

Pages are often taking 10+ seconds to generate.

We have fixed a minor issue here, but the site remains slow - I believe from my analysis that mysql is responding slowly, causing page creation delays. Ive posted in the staff area on vb.com, this is all we can do as we have no access or control over the servers.

[Lionel]

I wonder if this has to do with mail server? Sometimes I try to refresh right after I got an email notification (emails sent), then it is better.

Now that I no longer receive notifications, there seem to be an improvment.

[Paul M]

Its speeded up here in the last hour or so.

[Bounce]

Aye that's coz nought's working on vb.com :D

[ChopSuey]

Its loads great now. Was never slow for me. :)

[The Geek]

Thank god I'm not the only one. I thought for a minute Paul installed his miserable users mod and I was the first sucker.

I dounno, call my Mulder but I suspect the mothership is sucking all .org's resources dry whenever more than 3 people are on the CMS at any one time. :D

[TheLastSuperman]

A bit faster than this morning but aye yes slow as impulse... maybe soon Scottie will have the Warp engines fixed but then again vBulletin.com does seem to have trouble with tribbles recently eh?

:D

[Charlie98902]

I feel I am on dial-up here the past few day I thought it had to do with the amount of request for mods or help installing now vb4 is out. I am on a 10MB connection and it has been a thorn for me here as soon as I leave a thread it has a reply (new) as the loads are bad.

[Paul M]

Thank god I'm not the only one. I thought for a minute Paul installed his miserable users mod and I was the first sucker.
I think if I installed that atm, it would run faster ! :D

[TNCclubman]

Lolol

[Charlie98902]

Funny, discouraging for me to visit though on seeing new or updated mods. I hate feeling like I am on dialup. I manage for the moment though. Site is still at a crawl.

[Lionel]

I hope this get fixed soon. It is adding to the negatives that vb has been getting lately.

[Charlie98902]

Yep it is a bit faster at this current moment but only a small marginal notice but getting a bit better.

[Lynne]

I hope it gets fixed soon also. I know I'm skipping a whole lot of "help needed" threads simply because I don't feel like dealing with the (lack of) speed.

[Charlie98902]

Someone needs to bribe Paul with a few cases of Dr. Peppers :D

[Brandon Sheley]

it's been running slow for me the last few visits
glad I'm not the only one

[BlackJacket]

Its back to being slow. 7-9 seconds between page loads. I thought it was my end because Brighthouse had an issue a few days ago where one of their hosts had an error and our internet was slow.

I tested other websites and they load fast.

Happy New Years everyone. :)

[Paul M]

Someone needs to bribe Paul with a few cases of Dr. Peppers :D
You can if you want :) - but its out of my control - we are not IB staff, we have no server access. There is nothing I can do.

[The Geek]

This is really painful. It felt like I had a birthday waiting for this page to load.

[ericgtr]

This is really painful. It felt like I had a birthday waiting for this page to load.
It's been happening on my end for a couple of days now too. It seems like once it comes up it loads fine but it's the wait for it that takes a while.

[The Geek]

at least it makes vB4 on .com look fast :)


... that is, unless they are backing up (mid day in Europe).

[Charlie98902]

Seems fast at the current moment.

[Princeton]

at least it makes vB4 on .com look fast :)damn ... lucky guess

[Charlie98902]

Site was doing good the past 24 hours and it is dead slow again. I sometimes get page cannot be displayed and such for the dead slow navigating. Thought I'd let you know about it again.

Its Being very slow again at the moment takes ages to load pages.

[ShawnV]

Someone call down to engineering and tell "Scotty" We need more power, these forums are almost unusable at times.

[Brandon Sheley]

yup, still slow and rather annoying to search :(
I've started using google to search the site (http://www.google.com/sitesearch/)...

[ericgtr]

It's painful today taking nearly a minute to load every click. :(

[cad2go]

painful is the right word.

Is there an agenda to make people think 3.6 is much slower than 4 I wonder?

[The Geek]

Step 1: Replace dev team
Step 2: Jack up prices
Step 3: Jack up queries
Step 4: Ruffle up the code
Step 5: Release with record number of bugs
Step 6: Kill off .org
Step 7: BB sells recently purchased shares in IPB and makes millions. vB is exclusive to IB sites.

muwahwawhawhawhaw

[Skyrider]

I have to agree, it's really slow >_>. *shrugs*, I really hope this will be resolved as soon as possible.

[KevinL]

I like feeling like I am back in the early 90's with dial-up... :rolleyes:

[RedWingFan]

It's been slow for me as well.

It's probably due to 30,000+ members asking when their favorite modification is going to be released for 4.0. ;) Or the other dozen of us clamoring for Sphinx search... :erm:

Someone call down to engineering and tell "Scotty" We need more power, these forums are almost unusable at times.

I KNEW it! It always comes down to the dilithium crystals. :D

[Dervish-Dancer]

Needs more server juice for 4.0 launch I suppose... super slow for me also

[Delifed]

yea it been epicly slow.

[Mike Anime]

yea whats up with how slow everything is here latley?

[JakeS]

Don't I feel like the lucky sod? xD.

I browse this forum regularly (as a guest, just to see what's happening (Though I don't like the look of vB4 :| gave the beta a test run though) (If I use vB again at some point (phpBB for now, not due to anything against vB, just generally have nothing to use vB on at the mo) it'll be 3.x for now.) and to be honest, I haven't noticed any slowdowns what-so-ever, it's loading perfectly quick for me now also :|

But to be honest, if you guys are having so many probs with the vB Server, could you not revert vB.org back to how it was "way back when" eg, standalone? meaning, on it's own servers? though may have some legal stuff to deal with first which could take a while.

PS: Yes, tired when writing this, would explain the little bit messy post.

[Paul M]

Its not too bad atm.

[TheLastSuperman]

Its not too bad atm.

Same here... today is much better the last 2-3 days though was.......


.....




wait....




......



lol but good to be speeding around here much faster although considering I have forgotten how to type it was nice to be able to edit something after hitting save or submit to see my change hold as the loading image was up for a while... the ONLY thing I will miss about the slowness :rolleyes:

[MikeWarner]

Lol - I actually looked for a thread in this topic already. It is very very slow for me - I;m sure this is because of more people being on here upgrading sites to vB4 or in preparation for it - like myself.

[TheLastSuperman]

At least we are still up :rolleyes:

Ok it's back LOL... seems they are still tinkering with things maybe! Well as long as I have vb.org I'm happy (I like it here better... Marco is the best :p)

[ericgtr]

Its not too bad atm.
No it's not, today the site has been running like normal on my end.

[TheLastSuperman]

I say... it might be the unread post feature that was uptop near your notifications that was removed earlier when the board was down for a bit?

;) but not 100% on that :p

[Paul M]

No, thats not the cause ;)

However, I did turn it off earlier why I was testing the slave configuration, you can turn it back on in your usercp > options if you want it. :)

[TheLastSuperman]

ok ok lol I was kidding but did notice it gone and no I will leave it off, I know there's a WHOLE lot of posts on here still to read and a daily remind that I'm still behind is not for me :D

Always so much to learn with so little time on the .org is what I mean ;)

Mike

[cad2go]

Well done Team VB.org! Nice and speedy again!

[Paul M]

While its always nice to be praised, we did nothing. The servers are controlled by IB, and they sorted the issues out. :)

The silence from staff here on the matter was telling, it was pretty obvious that it was out of your hands.

[Aurore]

The site speed is fine on my side

[Digital Jedi]

This may seem off topic, but if you do a search of this this section for "Slow" (Search Titles Only), then you'll find one of these threads posted at least once every year since 2001 (with a notable skip in 2005). I guess folks tend to forget that websites don't run at full speed, 100% of the time. Especially large boards.

[The Geek]

WHew. I though if you did a search for slow, most of my posts would show up :P

[youradhere4222]

Pages at vb.com and .org have been taking 10-15 seconds to load for the past few hours.

[Vaupell]

right now its "fine" but last night, well a couple of minuttes pr page..

[BSMedia]

past few days....

[Paul M]

past few days....
It was certainly slow earlier today, but its not been for the "past few days".
