KnightofChrist Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 dUSt, I was reading somewhere that users using the back button of the browser could cause slow downs on boards like phatmass, ie after posting a message. And I'm not sure, but when "Google.com" is signed in and I would guess cataloging phatmass, seems to be when the slowdowns happen, could Google's cataloging the site cause a slowdown it seems reasonably it could, perhaps? But I'm not sure of that. Peace, KoC
Norseman82 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I can navigate two or three "clicks", after that, everything just freezes. Example: I was able to vote in the poll, but could not go to the second page of the thread. So I closed IE and came back in, but when I tried to go to page two, the second page wouldn't load. I had to save the actual URL of the first page and come back into it so that I could get to page 2. When I tried to add the reply, it froze again, so I copied the URL of the reply as well as the reply, then had to close IE again and come back to the URL of the replay and paste the reply.

Old_Joe Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Some of the links in the Defense Directory don't work. Also, Norseman is repeating himself.
KnightofChrist Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Either, I am the cause of the slowdowns, or what I did worked and will work for everyone, or its just a Ka-winky-dink... probably just a ka-winky-dink But hey maybe not, After clearing my Cache and Cookies, and other "private data" in Firefox, the board went from nothing working to everything I wanted to do working. Someone wanna test this theory for themselves next slowdown?
Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 How ironic...I tried to answer this poll and phatmass dropped out while it was processing.
Dudette Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 About the same. Came on last night and gave up because it was so slow.
dUSt Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 I haven't had one problem for the past two days. Weird.
cmotherofpirl Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 your computer knows you pay the bills here, of course it will behave for you. I am replying in fast reply [ second try now] because regular reply just timed out to " this page cannot be displayed"
Starets Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Here's an idea for you, dUSt. I noticed that someone had pointed out the googlebot is by indexing the site. What you can do is set up a "robots.txt" file in the root directory and tell it to only drop by once a week.
Carnanc Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I don't know if this has been noted, but I had problems with Internet Explorer 7 with Phatmass, specifically, I could not get into the phorum. seems better now.
dUSt Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Just when I thought that all you people were insane, I experienced the "page cannot be displayed" errors myself a few minutes ago.
Sojourner Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 so ... you haven't been experiencing problems with slowness?
prose Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I actually couldn't even get ON to PM for like 4 hours yesterday. Just kept getting error messages. OR, I could get to the Pharmyard, but couldn't enter any of the topics.

prose Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I am finding it is working beautifully this morning though...
Sojourner Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) [quote name='dUSt' post='1221118' date='Mar 28 2007, 09:51 AM']No. It hasn't been slow for me at all.[/quote] Yeah ... it has been slow for me for weeks. Typically what will happen is it will freeze up, then I won't be able to navigate anything at all for at least half an hour. Edited March 28, 2007 by Terra Firma
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I've had the "slow down" problem for far longer than a few weeks. It has happened for quite a while, I can't even say when it started. Doesn't make sense as to why the main site works, the forum index works, personal messenger works, but the individual forums and topics don't work.

It almost always happens when there are 80-150 "guests" (read "googlebots") viewing the phorum. Although, not always (right now it's fine, despite there being 169 "guests").
