Performance Right Now - Friday 11-12 5PM Eastern

[George Spellwin]

Members,

I appreciate your patience as we continue our hardware and software improvements. We must be doing some things right as we passed the 80,000 user mark and hit a new record for most users ever online this week. We had 3032 concurrent users Wednesday, 10-Nov-2004 at 04:49 PM Eastern.

Today we completed a major upgrade to the galleries. And we would appreciate your letting us know how it is impacting the speed and performance of the site.

Also, are you still experiencing hung pages where they do not display quickly or completely? And if so is it better or worse?

And as always, I appreciate the support of our Platinum Members who make the site possible.

shit is majorly fucked, i think. i too switched from firefox to IE (ick), because all sorts of funky nasties were happening. it could be my pc as well, but i'd rather blame EF.

i had to do the same thing Jackangel did - switch from Firefox to IE to surf this site. this has happened quite a few times since the upgrade. the only way i can surf this site in Firefox after that happens is to completely shut down Firefox, then i can surf EF with Firefox again.

no other site has ever given me this problem.

performance isn't too bad right now. could be a little faster though. a year ago, this site was a lot faster for me and i was not plat. it seems to be getting slower and slower gradually over the past year.

 

[Smurfy]

great!

lol @ funky nasties

 

[jackangel]

so, in brief, i think it's fair to say that the upgrades are a complete success so far.

 

[Smurfy]

[jackangel]

isn't everybody?

if XP wasn't as stable as it is, i'd still be using Linux. linux = no reboots unless you royally screw something up, in which case rebooting is just going to get you to where you can start to fix the problem (non-programmers like me get to throw in the rescue disk at that point and pray). XP needs to be rebooted every other week or so, and usually when i'm in the middle of doing something that i don't want to stop doing.

i'll make my way back to linux soon. XP is starting to tick me off here and there.
