Poor Forum Performance

Yet_Another · May 02, 2016, 09:00:35 PM

I'm slightly concerned that the performance issues around loading pictures are spreading. It's just been taking me minutes to load each page, and performance in general seems to have been degraded recently. I've just done a speed test on my line, and 30 Mbps should be adequate for most things.

Is there any diagnosis for what is going on server-side?

All seems to be fine here.
I've just made a post with a video link with no problems at all.

Working well for me and I only get 1 Mbps. Maybe it is browser or ISP related?

There have been issues with uploading photos in recent weeks, but we have had reports that all is working well now. I have uploaded photos in the last couple of days with no problems.

We will continue to monitor the situation, however.

Sorry for any trouble lately. The hosting company say that there is/was a website that was causing issues on one of their servers, which was causing issues on here. Hopefully it's sorted out now.

Maybe it was just a split gear

There's no rhyme or reason to it but the forum still 'hangs' this morning and every now and then I lose the forum completely and have to do a refresh.

Thanks Mick. I just tried to upload the pictures of my Class 89 build, but it's not working.

Thanks Paul, I'm sure you're right. Sadly, mine aren't even uploading today.

just tried a random picture upload and for the first time for quite a while the upload went swiftly and easily, The problem as far as I can see seems to be fixed

I too have just posted this random photo (using Photobucket).
No problem at all.

Oooops!!! sorry it was a totally random pick from the photos from the Wales and West show at the weekend.

Forum virtually unuseable since I logged on at 14.40hrs today. Soooooo slow to load pages and I'm getting lots of 500 Error notifications

The forum was slowish here yesterday but is behaving perfectly normally this afternoon.
