I've been finding it comparable to burning board in terms of loading times all day. That is of course when the server is no tto busy, which incidently is an error I've never seen before today.
I'll give it a few days though to get it optimised. Although I'm not hugely optimistic the problem will be solved.
The current server load setting is set to 10.00. If I make it higher you will simply get a non working board instead of a busy message and a few corrupted posts.
The only real solution is either a server upgrade or to remove some things hosted. None of them is in the current plans though.Quote:

Yeah but it worked fine before.
I'll give it a few days before passing judgement though.
Or to optimize some of the scripts of the other site running on the server. Some ofQuote:

(Like a script that takes 20 minutes to finish processing but is called every 15 minutes, effectively running all the time)
Like I said again and again to Badger. EZ is NOT the only site on the server. Besides that you know I can't just start giving details about what the server does and how it works ;)Quote:

Super Server 67
I'm still finding this to be taking 30+ seconds to load pages. Its doing the same thing burning board did.
Anyone els get a message sometimes saying server is too busy??
BTW how do I activate quick reply
You have to click this button http://forums.emulator-zone.com/imag...quickreply.gif It's next to the quote button.
A bit retarded.

If it's doing this ALL the time, during ALL times of the day, then it's something relatedQuote:

Yes, occasionally there are "load spikes" on the server, some of which I can't properly
explain -- the server is essentially doing the same thing the whole day, so why at times
it's running very slow I don't know. BUT... this should only affect a SMALL part of day.
There is very little I can do to fix this completely right away.
vB has been running slow since it was installed. Problems I never had when invision was installed.
Ok, sometimes the pages are loading ok, but probably 75% of the time they are taking an age to load. Not to mention the server being too busy a hell of alot more than it was with IPB.
Is this going to be as good as it gets?
Give it some time. The Admin Team are trying to fix it :sleep:
Well...Quote:

- Installed Turck MMCache* - Effect on speed: hopefully HUGE
This is an optimizer for PHP, which promises a LARGE boost:

Whether these changes have any positive effect still remains to be seen though.
*) I knew about it's existance, but Lefteris persuaded me to actually try to install it...
Well so far so good. It loading fine just now.
Most PHP scripts are getting a speed boost when using optimizers. vBulletin should be no exception.Quote:

We might try Zend Optimizer at some point but that is not certain yet.
It appears to have worked this end too.
Ok, if you noticed any downtime in the past 30-45 minutes, it would have been me.
I've now completely updated pretty much every large piece of software on the server.
We're now also running MySQL 4.1.8 (upgraded from 3.23.58 -> 4.0.23 -> 4.1.8).
Hopefully there won't be any issues with this new MySQL version...
Err... better go check the syntax of your backup scripts. The commands at mysqldump changed a little bit. I found that the hard way.
My backup scripts have been working fine on "s05", which is running MySQL 4.1 as well.Quote:

"--opt" is enabled by default so there is no need for that in the syntax. I also added "--add-locks" to prevent corruption while backing up. You might want to try that.
Btw, nice work on the phpMyAdmin but.... Collation = latin1_swedish_ci???
Never mind, I'll figure that out myself as everything else seems to be fine.
Er... I suggest we keep this conversation in PM only... this thread seems like an echo.
Umm... right. I guess everyone knows by now what we've been doing all day today :dry:
I'm going to leave the announcement regarding the busy messages there for a couple of days just in case.
Bravo! I think it's working much faster now!
I finished updating the forum to version 3.5.2 a few minutes ago. Feel free to report any bugs here.
It seems that after this update I can't use the quick reply and the other advanced buttons, such as 'insert link' anymore. I'm using Firefox 1.5. I have to admit I just formatted and reinstalled everything, so it could also be a problem on my end. Perhaps there are other users with Firefox 1.5 who can comment on this.
TIA, alcoatjez
Why everyone has problem with Firefox? Not only this forum, but other people in this forum do. I don't have problems with the quick reply button :mellow:
I don't know what is the difference with this version of vBulletin besides the bug fixes, but the only notorious thing is the sub-folder icon.
I also have firefox 1.5 and there seems to be no problem. Try to play with it's settings a bit.
The subfolder feature icons always existed. The difference is that I activated them just a couple of days ago.
Well, all we need is a new skin and change the http://forums.emulator-zone.com/imag.../forum_old.gif icons as well. I can volunteer to make the icons if you don't mind.
The current skin(brown) matches the site's colors so changing it would be quite hard.
If you want to make such icons feel free to try.
Could you please tell me with which settings? This is the only board that doesn't work for me.Quote:

This is very strange. I don't really know what to say.
Be more specific. Firefox version, error messages, etc.
Firefox version 1.5 (not beta). None of the buttons which show while posting work (f.e. bold, italic, hyperlink). Also the smilies to the right when you post don't work and also the quick-reply button. These are just not clickable for me, but they do show their label when my mouse is on them. I use some add-ins for Firefox (fasterfox, pdfdownload and forecastfox), but I also used these before I got the problems.
TIA, alcoatjez
Have you tried cleaning your browser's cache?
Lefteris_D is tha man! It works! I have no idea why, since I have this problems since the install, but it works!Quote:
