EN2 very much slower

[Nifft]

On a side note, has anyone encountered a problem where the new page fails to load, causing you to lose everything you typed in your replies? I get around that by saving my answers before hitting "reply", but sometimes, I still forget...

If you hit the "back" button, don't you then see your reply again?

(That's how my double-posts happen... failure to load, back button, re-submit.)

Nope, the back button just produces the same "page fails to load" message. And it seems that whenever I refresh a page, the message is also lost irrevocably. Ah well, something else to get used to, I suppose.

Don't get used to it -- switch browsers! Whatever you're using now is doing bad things to you.

Just a thought here...

Does anyone in here know whether the present version of MySQL is buggy in general, or has produced similar results on other similar sites? If so - perhaps the updates that will eventually come along for MySQL will help smooth things out?

Anyone out there heard of something like this, or known similar things to happen with past releases of MySQL?

I should mention that although the site still seems to run a little slow, access is generally much better.

Yup. With Firefox and Opera, I never lose posts - the stuff is saved when you hit "back". And Opera can manage notes, Firefox surely has a plug-in.

BTW, ENWorld works totally fast for me today. I suppose that's either a good sign or just means it's highly stress-related, as I'm surfing on off-times (due to the different time zone).

Cheers, LT.

Upgrading MySQL is not possible without a general OS upgrade.

Michael, have you been able to determine that MySQL is the cause? Do you have any information leading to the idea that MySQL is performing poorly? I posted some ideas and offered to help some with the set-up on the thread about the my.cnf last week, but I haven't seen any response to that. If you want me to look at things, I'd be happy to give it a try when I get a chance.

At any rate, the response of the site has been generally better for me lately, with fewer hiccups. I don't know what's changed, but it seems to have improved the situation some.

A datum: EnWorld seems much faster in the morning (U.K. time).

Seconded from another UK reader.

Yesterday, ENWorld timed out on me a few times, and today it's been almost random... a few times it hung on a click, then on others it went right through. I hope the problem is still being worked on and we're not just waiting for a volunteer-expert.
