Question

Slow? Does everyone have it wrong...

I realise that everyone,  well a lot of people are commenting on the slowness of this forum (there this post now applies to this forum) and the forums in general. A particular example was yesterday when, for a long while, no one could even find them.

I wonder though, if we're all barking up the wrong tree? Could it be that, in fact, the forums are so blazingly fast they've left us behind?

Time-shift. Maybe these new servers are time-shift ones. We're on today's time and they're already on tomorrow's? And maybe, just maybe, if we're very lucky we may catch up sometime in the future. And maybe that's what finally hppened... they slowed down and we caught up...

On the other hand, given the nature of time-shift it could be that while we're on today's time, they're on yesterday's?

Thanks due to 'the_wine_snob', aka Hunt, who opened up this line of thought.

    Since you are new here, you may not be aware of the forum FAQ.  Im pasting a portion of the contents of one post in the faq that details the top issues with the forum that are "in queue".   You will notice that performance is #1.   It is a well known issue.   The obvious question is when will it be fixed.  Only adobe can answer that.  They keep upgrade schedules pretty guarded.

    Ongoing issues being researched:

    • Performance issues
    • Multiple email posts when a user sends only one email to the forum
    • Updating email headers for better e-mail client grouping
    • Address issues in posting code snippets via email
    • Fixing cookie/session time out issues that cause users to have to log in multiple times in a day
    • Queue issues with virus-scans of file attachments and profile image uploads
    • Adding new file types to the allowed list for file attachments
    • Adjusting the height of the Post Reply box and getting it to stick
    • Broken images and 404 errors when a session ID is inserted into a forum URL by the forum software

    Thanks you very much indeed for alerting me to the FAQ. That's the kind of response i expected when i posted my first thread here saying "Hello..." which got moved to the PS Lounge and a subsequent one, "Hello... Part II", which for some reason got locked by an extremely rude someone called Jokhem van Dieten.

    Once again, thanks for posting the FAQ regarding the speed, or lack of it, of these forums.

    In fact, i was postulating the opposite thought. Perhaps the forums are too fast? Could that be a possibility?

    Thanks again...

    Cheers,

    J
