Popular Post MangoKorat Posted November 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) I know AN said the site might be slow after the recent problems but I'm having several issues with this site since it came back online. The main one is that sometimes, usually after I've posted, I can click away as many times as I want on any other topic, notification or anything else and nothing happens. The only way I can get it to work is to close the site and re-open it, post again and the problem's back again. Another issue is when I've just posted, it takes an extraodinarily long time for the post to appear and I can move on. Thought I'd post this here rather than contact 'support' in case anyone else is having the same trouble.

Popular Post Crossy Posted November 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2023 Yup, same for me, probably everyone. The forum seems to have bursts of lightning-speed then needs a rest. It will come back, promise!! EDIT If you click on a link and DON'T see the "waiting for Aseannow" indicator (bottom left on a PC browser) click again. The forum will notice you, eventually. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Since the big blackout of 11/2023 are there any changes with ownership, personnel or policy? I notice George is now a Root Admin and has attained Legendary status. We also have at least one Grand Master, although I'm not sure if that is with AN or something like D&D!

HighPriority Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 It may be slow but at least there seems to be fewer adds… 😇 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mstevens Posted December 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2023 Yep, running super slow here too. George said to be patient and it would speed up but that has not been my experience at all. When it came back online it was slow and it's still slow now, no change whatsoever. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the "Up" button and the "Delete notifications" facility should be back to avoid constantly having 25 notifications showing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoguy21 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 As it is a question of speed there could be a few reasons for it. 1. The network devices are under rated for the traffic it has to handle or 2. the system uses networks for the transmission, e.g. AIS, DTAC etc., and there could be undersized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it isn't a question of speed, would those circumstances also account for AN being fast as fck on my devices, no tardiness now, at all? Why do I seem to be getting special treatment from the "speed" supplier? Edited December 5, 2023 by Liverpool Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for explaining that, I, mistakenly, thought that you were on the bandwagon of blaming Asean Now, the organisation, for the site's being slow. My apologies.

The VPS running the platform is seriously humping to rebuild the site's metadata and such, which takes cycles away from feeding pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, one ongoing problem is that once the site is open and I go to 'notifications' - clicking on particular notifications produces nothing. If I close the site and re-open it, it works, every time. So now the norm for me is to open the site, close it and then re-open. Its as if something doesn't fully load the first time.

No, I got the meaning of your pompous post, hence my comment. By the way, my quoting another poster and offering my opinion is not "censuring", what you did is censuring...you may need to look it up.
