Has anybody else noticed since they "updated" this site it is so slow to navigate around it, i used to be on all the time but now i just cant be bothered as it takes so long to open threads and even slower to get out of them or is it just me?.

 

I am now a Scooby Newbie again after about 40 attempts to log on using my old username etc. The site is so slow I can't believe it. That's progress I guess. Or is it some plot to get me to pay for Broadband?

Seriously though it is considerably slower

 

heh but im on broadband and its still much slower how figure?

 

Yes it's so bad it's getting unbelievable

 

Definatly a lot slower these past couple of day's, i dont think i will be using SN if it carry's on like this, it's been great but for the last couple of day's!!!!

edited to say it's just took me nearly 10mins to exit this page {PATHETIC}
And i'am on broadband as well

 

yes but can the powers that be explain y the new site is alot slower and can they do anything about it or even revert back to the old settings so we can navigate the site with some speed, cause isnt what this site is about speed

 

A quick read of some of the threads from Shaun and Simon (Webmasters) reveal that as this software is new to ScoobyNet there are some issues to iron out.

One of these is that the server cannot cope with the demand once levels rise to near 600 online.

Simon said earlier that they will be upgrading the server software to fix the problem.

Why can people not just bear with it for the moment. Yes it's a little frustrating, but the functionality of this new board, on the whole - is better. More and more tweaks will be done just as soon as they can and i reckon it will be better than before.

Speed seems fine to me. In fact pretty swift.

Try a different browser - I use Mozilla Firebird but it needs a fair bit of config (very customisable if that kinda thing turns you on). Otherwise try Opera which has all the bells & whistles there out of the box.

 

I've noticed that it's slow, but only when loading some things. Some pages load almost as quick, if not quicker than previously, but others take aaaaaaaaages.

 

Huh! If you think this is bad, you should try getting into NtL's e-mail service......................try: 9 minutes to get as far as reding a mail


And that's with 600k broadband!!!!!

I think that it is getting slower and slower bu=uy the day! even on broadband 600K from NTL

 

Hi Guys

If you've been reading all of the discussions around known issues and current progress you'll know that we are working very hard on this.

We have come to a point where we think we have the most out of the current set-up that we can get, so have just (this morning) ordered a new state of the art server which will be up and running for the weekend.

We will work as hard as possible to get the actual site moved over to the new server by or before monday.

Please bear with us. This server comes at considerable expense, which was the reason why we've spent a week trying to wring the last drop of performance out of the current set-up.

All the best

Simon

 

Good news! Although as said by others, i tried opening ScoobyNet in Opera and it was LOADS faster to navigate (where going back etc is concerend).
