Why is the forum running at a crawl?

[Saint_clark]

This place isn't even that busy and it's already ground to a stop.

What exactly are we paying for?

What exactly did the last upgrade do?

Basically, in a nutshell, the latest version of the website software added a lot of features, which also added a lot of weight to the server. Me and steve have already drawn up a checklist of things we are going to go through to speed things up, mostly technical stuff, but all require doing during a "quiet" period... which we are still waiting for...

Righto, that makes sense.

Cheers.

Thanks for the explanation, Admins, I apologised to the PC for giving it a bloody good kicking.

So this is something I can definitely blame Cortese for?

 

I'll just add that "busy" is probably a fairly subjective term, but in terms of number of people online, at one stage this lunchtime there were nearly 900 users on the forum simultaneously, so I'd argue that it was pretty busy, considering the record on the older version is just over 1000.

Forum was dead from the moment MK Dons scored tonight.

 

It's almost a pointless exercise coming on here for a match thread.

 

Are these 'new features' the new release came with really worth this? Not so sure...............

However much i appreciated the effort that goes into running this site,i am appalled.

I am now a paying customer and you are providing a service.

I have worked in the service industry at a substantially high level,if i do not provide that service then i expect critisim and the customer deserves an apology and assurances improvements will be made.

Unfortunately for sometime now the service you provide is falling short.

Matchday is going to be busy,so please make provision for the sevice to be available.

Cut out the 'blogs' the supposed 'improvements' and all the add-ons,supply what most come here for,a sustainable football forum on matchdays.

This site is brilliant in the main,supplying informative,highly enjoyable and entertaining times,yet cannot deliver what it is here to do..supply a lifeline for football fans to remain updated and post comments during a matchday without interuption to that sevice.

By charging you have obligations.

Please start to meet those obligations.

Regards.

Sorry for any confusion I caused with my previous (silly/deleted) post, but is impersonating a mod really worth of more punishment than racism? Ponty sits pretending to be a mod every day but I doubt he ever gets infringements.
