Server change

[KingJohn]

Oh, so what happend ?

http://forum.vcdhelp.com/index.php ??

[Baldrick]

I got a new faster server for this main server so I only need one server for the entire site. And everything seems to work better now...no more random crashes.

[KingJohn]

Ah so, does this also explain the cookie expiring

[KingJohn]

Huh, So much for no problems.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in e:\vcdhelp\www\forum\includes\smtp.php on line 32

[KingJohn]

Could not connect to smtp host : 9 : Bad file descriptor

Got this after I clicked "Submit" was suppose to get the autoload page

[Baldrick]

cookies?

The email server(smtp) may be too busy...I will check into it.

[KingJohn]

No, my cookie had been eaten, unless it expired since I came here a year ago Letmeoutforgodsake

I had to use the username and password to get in, cookie was on hard drive dates over a year.

Anyway, back to the problem. This what I want you to do today....

Fix the B*** thing !!

It seams that there is a big delay in the "Submit" to a post, when I click "Submit" it takes forever for the page to show up, but if I click the button twice, I immediately get the warning about double posts, but click the link and can see my new post is there just fine.

So now I have to click twice to speed up the process and this makes it very hard to answer 100 posts in 5 minuets !! and even harder to reply to someone who is giving me grief

One last thing, when are we going to get some moderators in the forum ?, its been over a year since I came here and still there is none

Keep up the good work, your doing a good job and I am sure you will go to heaven

[tgpo]

I'm a moderator.

[Baldrick]

Fix the B*** thing !!

??

I dont why it takes ages for you to post...maybe the problem occurs in large topics where the server has to send several notifications email, but I'm working on it.

And we have some moderators...

[Baldrick]

Does it take long time to post a new topic also? try in the test forum. I found that it were 50000 email notifications in the database...I willl try to count how many emails that are sent each day.

[Baldrick]

kingjohn: I changed some email settings...let me know if you still have slow submits. And if you like to become a moderator(move,close,edit topics) msg me private...

Hi, well this is what happens

1, click reply, Page loads in ms (Very fast)
2, type message, click Submit, zzzzzzzzzzz 30 seconds zzzzzzzzz longer zzzzzzz
3, post made, click here to view
4, loads fast

But If I do this

1, click reply, Page loads in ms (Very fast)
2, type message, click Submit, Submit (Twice)
3, warning about double posts
4, click link in warning page
Page now reloads

Method 2 is very fast, no delays with the warning message, and the post is always successful

Only started when you changes server, maybe other people have noticed it ?, I normally get the pages very fast never had a delay like this before.

Nothing fancy going on ? firewall ?

Did a new test post

first method (Normal) took 16 seconds to see my post

Submit, Submit took only 1 second to see my post

[Baldrick]

Strange...it doesn't even take a second for me to post a new topic or reply so it can't be anything wrong with the server

what browser are you using?

[Baldrick]

when exactly did you get this slow posts? must be something that happens after the post have been inserted into the database(like either post notifications email, update the search table or anything) cause it works fine to hit submit twice....if just I could get this error so I could do some tests...

[Baldrick]

anyone else with slow submit posts problems????????????

[KingJohn]

Strange...it doesn't even take a second for me to post a new topic or reply so it can't be anything wrong with the server

Who moved the quote button

Well i said a second, but I guess its faster than that, have removed animated image, as I had changed that at the same time as the server changed.

Will test now here..

Seams OK, will see how it goes next few days

IE 6, is there any other ? 8)

[Baldrick]

try change back to that image and see how it works

[KingJohn]

Why did you change something ?. It does seam faster at the moment

[Baldrick]

No I haven't done anything but try anyway....I cant believe that your avatar image has anything to do with slow post......

[KingJohn]

Funny thing is at the same time my ISP has increased my bandwidth, they did this without telling anybody. So the sudden boost of speed yesterday may have something to do with this.

Will leave it alone for a few days, then try a AVI in my signature

Oh just one thing while I'm here, if you update your profile ">" is added to your Member status, change anything again and you get another added ">>" and so on.

[Baldrick]

how slow connection did you have before?

[KingJohn]

Huh, wait until I have edited a few times before you reply

No it was 512 and now 600
