This site is frustratingly slow today. Not my PC in that other sites are fine.
Is there any reason this might be happening, Joe?

Hi Julia,

I'm not noticing any significant slowness from my end, although others may.

If anyone else is noticing the site running slow today please let me know in this thread and I will get onto the host about it.

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

No, its been OK today from the Ville, and we have a longer way to connect than Julia.

Yeah m8...........noticing a huge slowness in my reply box and keyboard/post typed times (somekind of lag)... takes a while to show a cursor also.

I thought it was because I havent rebooted in 3 days and that maybe the case but currently feeling maary and will get round to it later

Joe,

It was really slow for me a few days ago. But there were several sites doing the same thing, so presumed it was somewhere in between servers or something.

All fine now.

 

[Julia]

Perfectly fine this evening, Joe.

I was also having this problem today - especially when I was in the chat room, happened for most of today but would come and go

Hi Joe

As you would be aware I frequently log into the "chat" site along with several other regulars. In recent weeks we have regularly been "logged off" with the advice that our connection has expired and we needed to log in again. This can happen several times in the one day and does not appear to be influenced by the number of posts we make while connected. This is frustrating to say the least as the information (previous posts) accessable through the "save" button are lost and we cannot refer back to comments made earlier in the day.

Also, when posting quotes or information to the chat site we are limited by the size (number of characters) that can be cut and pasted to the chat screen. Is there any chance this can be increased?

Thanks and regards

Hi Nulla,

I will be looking to either upgrade, fix or replace the chat room software very early in the new year. Please bear with me for a week or so and I promise I will do my best to improve things for all ASF chat room users.

Hi Joe

Today only each time I go to submit a post I have to Ctrl A and copy as plenty of times its given a 404 or taken an extra ordinarily long time and failed to submit post....

Its a new problem in an otherwise fantasticly functioning forum....except you know who....

 

[Joe Blow]

Looks like it might be time for a new server. Will get onto that early in the new year as well.

Joe why don't you move your server to a vps like linode. Shared hosting is usually slow in comparison.

 

[nulla nulla]

Thanks Joe. Your efforts are greatly appreciated in keeping this the number one stock forum in Australia. I look forward to 2010 ans a year full of diversity and hopefully prosperity for all the ASF members.

Joe, Is it possible to show company announcements from companies on their relative sites as the announcements are released.?

I find that a very usefull tool on another forum that keeps me tuned there on a regular basis.

You dont use a trading platform ?...... Why clog up the threads with umpteen 3b,s 708,s and other mish mash ... thats what a trading platform and www.asx.com.au is for

There are quite a few changes coming to ASF this year and I am hoping this will be one of them, although I cannot say for sure at this stage.

Before the middle of the year (hopefully!) ASF will be undergoing another significant facelift with new content and features added. I am compiling a list of improvements I would like to make and that is definitely on the list.

The search 'feature' is still dodgy - I get this when I put in a search term (end of the china bull) as key words, and has happened several times before -

The search term you specified (of) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.

The time-out wait is still annoying.

If you are searching for a phrase, enclose it in quotes: "end of the china bull".

If you're searching for key words as opposed to a phrase simply exclude any words of less than three characters. This is a limitation of the forum software.

The time-out wait is still annoying.

This is to ease the load on the server and will hopefully be reduced soon.

There have been major problems with Firefox over the last few months.

I have gone back to the last most stable version 3.0.13

It can be downloaded from many free sites, just google it.

ASF is working much faster for me since I uninstalled my newer versions and installed 3.0.13
