Is TVF exceptionally slow today?

The forum has been VERY slow (over the last few weeks) far earlier in the day too - it's not restricted to after 9 p.m.

 

As it's been the case for so long - this is probably the new 'normal' .

 

It has taken over a minute to see your notification and read it.

 

Posting the reply will probably take as long and this is 12:49 on Tuesday 7th November.

 

I used to get quicker service a few years ago using DTAC 2G and EDGE on a mobile phone.

 

It is ONLY TVF that is this slow. Every other site I use is far quicker.

And it's clearly getting worse as we've both had repeat postings, for likely the same reasons..... 

[dick dasterdly]

And suddenly, the site is working again!

 

What the hell is going on?

It took over 3 minutes before TVF timed out so I didn't even know if my reply was posted.

 

I did get this response however.

But these problems have been ongoing for WEEKS - it can't possibly be due to a 'sudden overloading' at lunchtime!

Why don't other sites have this long time ongoing issue...?

[Tech Doctor]

Some sites do, problem is our userbase is so large its not easy to pin point exact route causes. We use lots of sub sites and other integrations.

Surely other sites too have lots going on but TVF has not dealt with the problem over many months...

Even facebook is instant with their massive traffic flow...

 

 

[Tech Doctor]

Over many months we have had a software issue which are suppliers are trying to resolve. Other sites may not have patched due to seeing our issues.

 

Facebook has multiple servers and has a little more infrastructure than us, so of course its more instant.

If TVF have had this problem for months that the suppliers cannot resolve, do you not think it a good idea to get a new supplier and sue the exising one?

 

They wrote it and could not have done proper testing on it before selling it. The problem is theirs.

 

If the mobile phone company that I used to work for sold a product that was not properly tested and had problems for months then they would have gone out of business.

 

They did, at least in the infrastructue division. They lost over a billion USD on one system alone and they were world leaders at one time.

 

The CEO who was the grandson of the people who originally built the company was fired and sadly many other people lost their jobs too.

The dirty nine thirty strikes again...

Today Wednesday 8th November from 12:00 to about 14:00 TVF has been running very well and I have no complaints about it.

 

Thank you TD

 Understatement of the century..

While there were a few days of the site being non-functional for me about 6-8 weeks ago, I haven't had any major problems since , but the minor hiccups have been numerous. 

 

There were very few problems with this site for years before the Nation took over. That said 'm not the least bit surprised as their poor attention to basic proofreading the daily paper would seem to indicate a general lack of concern with detail which I imagine would carry over to their handling of more difficult tasks such as running a website.

 

The apparent censoring of people's avatars, I notice my own and many others have disappeared, would also warrant some sort of notification as to why, but it's their website so who am I to complain. 

[faraday]

Doesn't seem as slow as it was, but as usual at 9:30 pm it times out.

 

What has happened to the avatars?

There is a topic about them here.

 

 

[blackcab]

This has been going on for some considerable length of time now...

 

If you can't get people on the site at peak times, you can't show them adverts. No adverts = lost revenue.

 

Strangely enough though I don't think anyone cares.

No change there then.

 

My problem is the same as yours and around the same time so I simply don't bother to even try between 21:00 and 22:00 any night.

 

But I think that the TD cares but he is over-ruled by the site owners who are interested only in money revenue and simply don't care about the TV users.

Yes, back to crap, again. A sad blot, in my opinion, on the performance of a Thai media cornerstone.

[transam]

TVF for me is whizzing.....No probs, especially after Firefox was updated to the new version.

[faraday]

Site wouldn't load at 9:20 pm last night & 9:30 this morning - both times I got the same message as Blackcab.

 

Up until yesterday it was fine.

 

 

 

[balo]

It's not as bad as it used to be , yes I also get the same  message Error 502 from time to time.  But it's faster now , normal speeds most of the time.

It's generally okay on my pc but it's poor on my tablet, frequently inaccessible.
