ASF Site Performance

[Boggo]

Apologies for the delay.

No need to apologise Joe, it's just a bit of feedback for you
It is just a bit slower than normal but still better than a lot of others.
We have been spoiled a bit with the speed it normally operates at.

Cheers

It's taking a little longer than anticipated to configure the new server and copy all the files across from the old one, so regrettably there has been another delay.

I will update again when I know more.

I assume things are happening at the server level so will put things down to that, but ASF is now pretty much non usable due to the delays now, and I keep getting this error nearly every time....

 

[Joe Blow]

Due to continued unexpected technical issues being encountered there will unfortunately be another minor delay.

I apologise for the inconvenience, but have been told that the server migration will almost certainly proceed tomorrow morning.

Thank you all for your continued patience.

Thanks for the update Joe. Ok it's another day but being updated about what's happening makes it better than being left in the dark wondering if you're attending to the problem. Thanks once again.

 

[Joe Blow]

The server migration will be happening within the next 30 minutes. ASF will be closed for a short time while the migration is in process.

Please avoid posting any charts or other attachments until the server migration is complete and I have given the all clear.

 

[Joe Blow]

OK, we're now live on the new server. Please report any issues to me in this thread.

 

[Joe Blow]

Apologies for the extended down time but unfortunately these things rarely go smoothly.

Hey Joe,

Everything appears to be running ok from this end.

There's no need to apologize to anyone here. Like me, I think most of the members are only too grateful to have such a great facility to express opinions/views and help others with advice on a wide variety of subjects but mainly money and the sharemarkets

Keep up the excellent work Joe - the special one!!

Cheers

hear! hear! here too

In trying to move from page 1 to page 2 I'm getting blank page, then the message that "the page you are trying to view cannot be shown", or just a jumble of letters and symbols.

I have screenshot of both but the "Manage Attachments" facility isn't coming up in full: starts then just stops leaving blank screen.

Going instead to "Last" brings up the second page eventually.

 

[Julia]

I tried to edit the above to add that I had no indication that the post had gone through, added this, clicked on Save, and nothing happened. Gave up after about a minute.

Hi Julia, sorry to hear you are experiencing problems after the server migration. I am not experiencing similar issues to the ones you are describing. However, I would be very interested to hear if anyone else is. I am finding that ASF loads much faster now after the server upgrade. The attachment manager loads fine for me and editing posts is not a problem.

My suggestion is to clear your browser's cache and temporary internet files and then restart your PC. If that doesn't help, try using a different browser to see if this problem is unique to one browser or if it is happening on multiple browsers.

If anyone else is experiencing problems, please let me know in this thread. Thanks!

I'm using Firefox, which I keep automatically updated to the latest version.
This computer runs Windows 8.1.
No problem since the server switch. Shall try to attach and edit.

attached this chart in "Advanced Edit" mode:



2nd edit: The first edit was successful and the result came back after about 2 seconds.

3rd edit is now from another PC, running Windows 7. (but still Firefox. I don't like IE)
Page refreshed instantly here as well.

 

[Joe Blow]

There has been little feedback on ASF's website performance since the migration to the new server on February 6th. I am assuming this means that very few have been experiencing any performance issues since then.

If you have been experiencing any issues or problems after the server migration, please let me know in this thread. In the absence of any negative feedback I will assume that everything is fine, and breath a sigh of relief.

 

[Boggo]

All back to how it used to be Joe, no news is good news

That's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for the feedback Boggo!

You can, Joe.

Thanks for the effort. It's been very successful.

[Joe Blow]

I haven't noticed anything but I'm running some checks and getting the host to check into it too.

Thanks for letting me know!

Has anyone else received a similar warning?
