ARE YOU FUCKIN' KIDDING ME!!????

 

 

That's it?  WTF?

[KoolHndLuke]

Seems to help so far, but I think it's like Eva said and doesn't last. Wilsy. Could also just be the upgraded servers Ashal mentioned coming online.

Of course. ?

...AND...back to slow as molasses, flowing uphill, on a cold February day in Alaska.

 

Not complaining.  ?

LL is crazy fast for me, faster than ever... close to instant.

Not sure if I broke something or the server got already positively manipulated.

[Joeynator3000]

It's just going back and forth for me, sometimes it's fast like normal, other times it's at a snail's speed.

 

EDIT: This post being a perfect example, took me no time to come to this site and thread...it took 20 seconds for this to be posted.

It took even longer to edit and fix a typo I made with the first edit. -.-

> things becoming slowly irritating and frustrating. Just saying.

[Fiend71]

Yeah - I'm seemingly in that intermittently quicker phase as well...

 

Sometimes is really slow, sometimes is actually not bad, other times it times-out, even other times it acts like a scram jet, and snaps right to pages or whatever. 

 

Loading my inbox gives it a hard time as well.

 

Overall, it does seem to be improving though - for me at least.

Seems infinite loading screens has become a permanent feature here. Admin needs to check their LO.

She MUST have LOOT...no?

For me its been "ok ish" in the mornings ....but as the day goes on it progressivly gets worse and worse. 
Some evenings I cant even use this site, as it just times out.

Well, this trick to fix uploading at least temporarily has died.    I have a 28MB file I can no longer upload, be it FireFox or ... Microsoft Edge as a browser (Yeah, I threw up a little in my mouth even using that browser).

 

EDIT:  It took roughly two minutes (120 seconds) after hitting [SAVE] on the original message above.  The site is now running that slow.  And what the hell is THIS:

New posts within a short time frame are limited. Please wait 5 seconds before submitting.

This appeared right after the screen refreshed with my initial message.

Relaying detrimental forum speed

 I've never seen that! 

 

I have run into that on a different forum though - where it wouldn't let you post until after like 3secs.  It's to help control spam-bots...apparently.

 

Not really an issue for me right now, since one post does take a while to "send". 

 

Strange that it did that for one post.  I DID just see a member saying how another "double posted" the same post though.  I'm thinking minor glitch (?)

Latest renewal for an essential

[botticelli]

Looks like there's now an implicit file size limit of 100MB? All uploads I tried stop and fail around 100 MB.

 

EDIT: And the ones shorter that that fail after 100%

 

Looks to me like DISK FULL ?

The issue you are encountering has its own discussion thread made just last week, and this is an issue that I too have encountered
https://www.loverslab.com/topic/187505-error-uploading-file/

 

Insofar as filesize, this happens even with files of 28MB or less.  Perhaps not 5MB...  but I have graphic intensive mods to worry about.

 

Before anyone suggests it, it is not a browser issue.  Chrome, Firefox (and variants) and Microsoft Edge all have this as a problem.  And a trick to 'Sign out' and then Sign back in... works sporadically.

 

IF... you find an upload fail at 100%...  immediately attempt to re-upload.  You may hit fail  (at perhaps 50%)... and then attempt again (possibly failing at 35%)...  Eventually, the whole may finally take place.  This I tried THIS Force-Upload method after several hours of trying to update a mod... eventually having success.

I expect @Ashal has this at the top of her list... recognizing Security as #1 of course.

Not to be a naysayer but I just found your post after using the Search for "broken" in this topic.

Might be broken only for posts before the upgrade.

 

Go to this CBPC topic and search for "sphere" and it will return no results. Yet go to page 37 (NSFW) and the term "sphere" (as part of collision sphere) is everywhere.

I can confirm your instance but I am not sure what caused it.

I have to admit that the search function is more or less useless because for a certain topic you find about 2 hits were previously would would have found hundreds.

That is maybe to save some performance... but it still sucks.

The search function has always been like this and it's usually better to use google to try to find something on the site.

Definitely was not like this before (with older topics returning 0 results). This seems like a potential caching issue where posts before a certain date are not searchable.
