ASF Site Performance

[Joe Blow]

Hi,

I have a wee presentation problem -

I open the home page, see the list of most recent posts, hit go to last post on one of them, I am then placed in the last post, momentarily, before it flicks back to the top of the last full page containing this post and I have to scroll down to find it.

This now consistent behavior only started on my w7 machine a few weeks back - before then it was fine.

On my samsung it's fine.

Any ideas on what I may have done ?

I'm using chrome btw -

Hi Caveroute, I have just conducted a similar test with Chrome and am not experiencing the same issue, so at this point I am assuming that it is an isolated problem.

If anyone else is experiencing something similar, please post in this thread and let me know.

In the meantime, it might be worth doing some Google searches to see if other Chrome users have had the same problem.

Funny thing this -

I've just retested this and after cursing it for the past short while, it's now it's fine - so I've no idea whats going on.

There is a slight dance on entry, it moves up a line and then back down, but it now stays on the last post.

Thanks for your input JB.

OK, if I'm logged on everything is fine.

If I'm a guest - then I see the behavior I outlined above.

Hi TH,

You don't need to confess to anything.

You're on the internet!!

Joe, today it is impossible to add attachments

I was able to last week where it was a little more complicated with an extra unnecessary step!!

what's wrong with it?



Sometimes, the focus returns to the thread and you have to re-activate the upload window from your Windows Taskbar.

Bigdog, what is the problem exactly? What part of the process isn't working?

Joe it is now working OK and normal - visiting my brother and using his high speed access
-- I am unable to replicate the problem
-- this morning I clicked 'Add File" and the "Select Files box" had error and I could not effect the "Select Files" button.

This morning I was staying at the beach and had to go to McDonalds to login
-- very slow

-- even had my first attempt posting rejected - McDonalds was suspect a site

-- I was able to post on the second attempt without an attachment

I will try posting tomorrow morning when I am home
-- much slower service

That was strange - I was unable to post a reply from my desk top computer and was given an error message about suspicious network activity and yet I can post from the ipad on the same network.

Hi sails, please let me know if this happens again. There are a few changes being made in the background and I want to make sure that website usability is not affected.

If anyone else experiences any issues or difficulties, please let me know in this thread.

Thanks!

Joe,
not a drama but I was looking for a picture in a forum post and the advance search did not return anything?
Is that the expected behaviour?

Hope it helps

Unfortunately there is currently no way to search post attachments. I wish there was, but the software doesn't support this feature yet.

The "Pictures" search option relates only to profile pictures. I had this disabled, but have enabled it so those who wish to have a picture on their profile can do so.

Joe adding attachments was back to normal today!

That's great news bigdog! Hopefully it won't happen again.

I'm glad to hear that everything has sorted itself out. Sometimes annoying minor issues do occur, so please feel free to report them in this thread as I will always investigate them in case they are a symptom of something more serious.

I've been finding this site very slow the last couple of days. Up to 7 or 8 seconds for the screen to change.
Absolutely no similar problem on any other site.

Same here though only today have I experienced subnormal loading.

Frequently, of late, when I visit this site and I click on the "new posts" search the resulting page tells me that there are no new posts since my last visit when in fact there are. I don't know if this is a cookie problem, but I cleared all my browser cookies and this problem persists. I'm almost always still logged in when I make a new visit.
