electrathon Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Aaron, why do you say this site is slow? Our logs don't show anything unusual, and I haven't had any complaints about speed since we upgraded to the dedicated server. Tell me more. ~J Every since the site was upgraded it has always been slow. It was horibly slow for a long time and that has been repaired. Now it runs at what is an acceptable leval, but definatly loads slower than most sites. I think this has to do with the leval of stuff that loads with every page. I was not really trying to complain, I know it is what it is. Was just using it as a reason that having to continuasly reload the page can be anoying what it would be simpler/faster to be able to do it in one click instead of click/wait/scrole/click.

Contributing Member Ferg Posted October 13, 2011 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 13, 2011 Aaron, I am curious, why are you reloading the page? I am on a Mac, I can click on the "back" arrow and return to where I left off. Very little time involved. ferg Every since the site was upgraded it has always been slow.

Members Spinner Posted October 13, 2011 Members Report Posted October 13, 2011 Like Denise said, I simply have the Active Posts bookmarked. Easy way to do it: find the Active Posts link at the bottom of the home page, right click (instead of left click) and select "Bookmark this Link". Change the bookmark name if you wish and then click "OK". All done. On Firefox I have the Active Posts and New Content as separate bookmarks on the overhead toolbar so I'm simply 1-click away from either one depending on my mood.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 14, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted October 14, 2011 Aaron, if you're using FireFox, you can tweak it to operate faster. In the address bar, type "about:config", then scroll down to networking.http.pipelining and set that to 'true', then right below it is networking.http.pipeling.maxrequests and you set that higher - I have mine set on 12. That should speed up your experience. You can go back and change it if you don't like it.

Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted October 14, 2011 Members Report Posted October 14, 2011 I can only think of one "pieve" I have about the forum site. During the day I may have a few minutes to see if anything is in the forum that I would like to read but not have time until later. If I scan the subjects and return same day the posts I was interested in are gone. I know, I can look in the Archives Can this be changed from instantaneous, or nearly so to perhaps 24 hours? Just a thought. ferg So who says you can't teach us old folks new tricks? Wahoo!!! Bob Quote
