Forum Problems

[MangoKorat]

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.

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.

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!

It may be slow but at least there seems to be fewer adds… 😇

Nope, I actually had more and couldn't click them off. I have an adblocker now, they were driving me nuts.

As a mere Silver member, you are at least 5 ranks below my Star status. You may be reaching for it, but you don't get to censure someone who is already way over your head. There are people paid to do that.

Incidentally. your topic would have been more appropriately placed in Forum Support.

Is anyone still having issues with even getting the AN web site to open .....  takes at least 5 minutes on my PC .....   then after opening,  if I want to search a topic it's another 5 minutes ...... 

Also ,   the right side arrow to top is still missing .....

 

Any update or progress from IT or anyone ...    ???

 

Thanks ...

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.

I find it much, much better than just after the outage. You might try a different browser, clearing your cache, etc.

Running as fast as it ever did before the issues on my laptop and phone.

Everything opens more or less instantly on my laptop and my Android phone. 

I agree about the "Up" button and the "Delete notifications" facility should be back to avoid constantly having 25 notifications showing.

The "ranks" mean bugger-all.

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.

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?

Depends on useage of the interconnecting network. I go to the same site as you and my route will probably different to yours. Some networks are fast others not so much.

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.

Or, 3. The VPS running the platform is seriously humping to rebuild the site's metadata and such, which takes cycles away from feeding pages.

Very few problems opening the site now. 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.

1. You missed the joke

2. I really don't give a damn about anybody's status - do you think people even notice that?

Bit slow on the uptake as usual Lou!

 

and:

Considering most of your posts on the forum consists of quoting others and censuring them, a massive hypocritical comment!

If there is any support they could replicate the issues quite easily, notifications still slow to load, plus missing notifications, using mobile web

You weren't joking, Croc, if you were, you hid the humour perfectly. You're just trying to wriggle out of your own hideous pomposity.

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.
