jayenram Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Since the installation of the "new" chat, a few members have complained about lag on occasions. Two in particular, totster and myself, are both using CS/Loxinfo ISP. It appears to be intermittent. Friday 24th March: No lag at all until 08:00. After 08:00 lag increased progressively from about 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Appeared to clear up after midday (but that could have been the drink). Saturday 25th March: No lag whatsoever. Sunday 26th March: No lag whatsoever. Monday 27th March: No lag until 08:00. Then lag increased progressively to a maximum of around 5 minutes at 09:00 (the time now). It cannot be the software, I guess, or else we would always experience lag. Is it excessive server traffic? Anyone have any ideas?

Totster Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Interesting note... Msn messenger is performing correctly with no lag, and the internet pages are loading nice and quickly, so why is it only Chat is affected ? totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) For the want of nothing better to do, I did a lag check on the chat this morning: 07:40 - No lag 07:50 - No lag 08:00 - 4-6 seconds lag 08:10 - 2 minutes, 20 seconds lag 08:30 - 3 minutes, 15 seconds lag What is it about this magical time of 08:00?

elsie Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'm really looking forward to seeing this problem fixed. It's difficult enough already to make some sense out of the convo in there as it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 Update: It appears that submitted text is being "held" on a server and released in say 5 minute bundles. To such an extent that I've been getting "flood warnings" due to inputting too much text at once onto the chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayenram Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 I sent the following email to cscoms/loxinfo this morning "For the past few weeks, I have been experiencing varying lag time in an internet chat room (the host server is in Texas USA). Since Friday last week (24th), I have been logging the lag times and have found the following consistencies: There is no lag time on a weekday before 08:00 (Thai time). Lag time after 08:00 on weekdays can vary between 2 minutes and 10 minutes, generally increasing towards midday. At approximately 12:30 the lag disappears, however, it returns again at approximately 13:30. There is minimal if no lag on an evening (only checked after 19:00). There was no lag whatsoever at anytime over the weekend (25th and 26th). Could csloxinfo offer any explanation of this phenomena? I am using ADSL connection. Regards" This afternoon, around 17:30, cscoms/loxifo rang me to ask what the problem was. "Are you connected now and on line?". "No I'm in the boozer, but I can be in 30 minutes", I says. "I'll ring you back in 1 hour", I says. I returned home and found I was disconnected. I logged in as "jayenram", but unfortunately only vic was on and he was asleep (as usual). I tried "yorky's" logon but was asked for an unknown password so was rejected. Therefore I couldn't really determine the lag (or not). I finally rang cscoms/loxinfo at 18:30 to explain the situation and was told "the office is now closed (24 hour service?), please ring back tomorrow in office hours" You have no need to tell me ---------- TiT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayenram Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Update at 19:00: Cscoms/loxinfo rang (out of hours?) and explained that it was nothing to do with them. It's either ToT or TT&T that are at fault (of course) and they would speak to them. Maybe, or maybe not, I will have more info tomorrow. Bht 1,600/pm, oh well. Maybe I'll get a discount. What pigs?

elsie Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I do hope Jay is still s*ber enough to realise he shouldn't follow kruger's advice! BTW, it seems we all tend to agree with Jay.. "if it ain't broke, don't <deleted> with it!" Oh well.. back to w*rk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insight Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 It's not a problem with your ISP or ThaiVisa. The chatroom is hosted at Parachat. By the look of things right now, it looks like the chatroom is being upgraded again. I'm being asked for a password - that's never happened before. What's going on George?

george Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Parachat is working on the issue. I am expecting an answer to my requests when US wakes up around 18:00 Bkk time. The problem is the user authentication Parachat-Invision. Sorry for the problems. Hope it will be resolved this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
