BBS Performance...
 

Okay, a bunch of you have been complaining lately about board performance. Before our move, I had to limit bandwidth because I couldn't increase our Internet connection easily. So I placed a bandwidth throttle on the site to stop it from taking over the connection (and killing the main catalog server).

I forgot to remove the throttle when we got the new connection! So, I just removed it, and now the site should be blazingly fast.

Please confirm or deny!

3:21 pm, error message "The parameter is incorrect. " when clicking on random topics - internet explorer 5 mac edition.

Anyone else get this message? This one sounds like it might be a browser bug...

I am getting the message above when clicking on links to threads and the diffrent pages within threads.

I am getting pages that I have to manually refresh to get to load, happened after replying and just browsing... I don't normally have this problem.

Works perfectly for me. What browser/platform are you using? Which links are you clicking on?

(Again, simply saying something doesn't work, is like saying "car no go" - can't figure anything out from that.)

switched browsers (netscape 4.7), some icons and avatars will not display.

It's working Great now!!

For me on a DSL, it is working great, seems faster than usual.

Much better now! It was pretty bad the last couple of days.

Thanks Wayne! :D

Still fairly slow...clickd posts taske forever for the "green bar" (below) to load and get me to the post...

OK , I clicked on this thread, and it displays as if I had a 9600 baud modem.

Other websites load quickly (cable modem here) lately Pelican has been the Lag king....

OK this performance is noted using IE 6.0 on XP and ME OS, and using Mozilla on the same OS

I take it back...something is funny again. Seemed good for awhile, now things are really s l o w.

Same thing but sporadicaly. Had a hard time just posting this response. Manually refreshing helps. Getting hung up on replies...
ME
IE 6
DSL

scrubbing the drive / checking the firewall didn't help or turn anything up.
Unusual, but I'm still here SmileWavy

Much better now!

But, not all of the avatars and buttons necassarily load vefore I get the 'Done' message in the status line ... Win 2000 Pro SP4 IE 6.0.2800.1106IS SP1; Q818529; Q828750; Q832894; Q330994 ...

(CTRL) + Refresh usually loads completely.

about 5:30pm pst it was repeatedly timing out (tried for 60 seconds). OSX/Safari.

I'm going to continue to work on it...

Searching the BBS archives for old posts has just been 'hanging up' for a couple of days, now ... and still hangs up, just now!

Opera has been really bad, so I at work at changed back to explorer. At home I´m forced to use Opera, due to HP-laptop.
