How Ironic

I have been thinking I have a virus or something ...... Scoobynet is seriously slow!!

Anyone got any reasons? Volume of traffic??

How long 'til the SIDC forum has a "Is Scoobynet down ???" thread

Heading for a fall

 

Yep, it's taking 20 seconds to refresh a page.

 

And to the 70 people who read this thread and didn't bother replying...shame on you !

If you don't complain nothing will get done about it

All it would have taken is 10 minutes of your time

 

I think someone's been pumping the bellows this morning.

 

Better again today, gave up last night as it was so feckin slow.

 

It's always faster in the morning, and much slower in the evening - presumably because it's busier in the evening.

The hamsters get tired

 

seems so slooooooowwwwww might need to put 50p in the meter!!

 

Same here. I thought it just be my connection but SN is the only website to run slooooow.

 

Cant say I've noticed any difference myself

 

Its Ok(ish) at the mo. Give it a few hours and wait for the user count to peak at 600

 

Its sloooooow for me toooooooo

 

What I don't understand is why when you press the back button in your web browser scoobynet has to reload its content from its web servers. That puts loading on the server that is not required imo, not to mention the cost of the additional bandwidth used. On a site like this I bet it's a considerable cost.

 

Im glad its not just happerning to me i was about to ring bt and see if there was somthing wrong with the line. It is seriously slow and especialy at night.

 

No its the mouse getting tired.

 

Either that or the wheel needs a bit of grease.

 

Good point, I can understand the re-fresh due to new posts on thread. But it also seems to re-load every single gif jpeg and all of frame layouts too, I'm not sure why my browser can't cache them and just update the text (probably too complex).

 

TBH, us non-paying members cannot really complain as we haven't coughed up £25 to join this site so we haven't got the right to complain for what is essentially a free service for us, but this place has to be costing someone a fair amount of cash to run.

But if I had joined, I'd be a little annoyed at the lack of interest that the webmaster is showing towards the speed issue.
I've just got used to it now..

 

Too right.

I'm amazed plus members haven't been more vocal over this, especially seeing they payed for it! Out of all the replyers on the involved threads, only seven are plus members...two of which are Mods

 

Same here. Some days dog slow, others lightning quick. I did flag up a strange phenomenen in Bugs where the last post on a thread wasn't showing up. Maybe the database needs re-indexing. Didn't get any show of concern though

 

I've flagged the slow speed up before in "bugs" and was told it was my computer...

 

It is slow innit! Not just me and my Apple Macintrye then?

 

MLR is sooo much fatser, ironic?

 

Slow again over lunch
