unusable for me today. between 404 errors and waiting for stats.adobe.com and wwwimages.adobe.com and the posting box never appearing when i go to place a response to something. i think i've made like 2 posts today. i'm not willing to wait 2-5 MINUTES for things to finish downloading or to hit reload then reload again (at 30 secs a pop) to clear out 404 errors.

guys, THIS IS THE ONLY SITE I VISIT THAT BEHAVES LIKE THIS!!!

we're months into this cr*p experiment. don't you have a lemon clause in your jive contract? i suggest you exercise it and go back to web crossing.

i'm actually shocked i was able to get the posting box to appear for this. i'm going to copy and save this message out to notepad before posting because i fully expect to be logged out when i hit the post button.

currently getting "waiting for forums.adobe.com" but everything seems to be working. just that site keeps trying to "finish" loading. ps win, ps lounge and here. all the same.

well same again happened today. i pages never finish loading... "waiting for wwwimages.adobe.com" stays in the status bar and the post box never shows up... seems to clear up after a browser restart - which in itself requires me to reload the page after 1st load becasue all links produce the 404 error.

here's a screen shot:

and here's a duck, for good measure:

note the screenshot shows the waiting message in the status bar, the unusable posing box and the progress bar on the lower right. it had sat like that for about 10 minutes. i hit reply to post and had to get up and do something with the kids. when i got back, it was still in that state.

The performance of the forum is ok here, at work, in Sweden, but a more annoying problem to me is that I get logged out every once in a while. I have ticked the keep me logged in checkbox, but perhaps the session times out anyway, and also loggs me out.

There's also the search motor of the forum - by default searching in all of the forum and just in the "Indesign Scripting" forum which I'm interested in. Setting the filter to that forum only involves finding InDesign Scripting in a very long list of choices, and doing that for every new search (the filter set, is not remembered/stored for my user). The old behaviour when the search was performed "below" the forum part you were currently in, was better then getting results from everywhere.

I am constantly wondering about all these complaints about this forum's performance

For me, this is one of the fastest forums (fora?) on the web. I never see/feel any delay - anything I do here is instantaneous. Could it be because I am located at the other side of the world (from the US), that when I'm using it, there is almost nobody else online?

In which case a little server upgrade (RAM) may solve the problem?

From my own experience, and what I read in here, I would say you are extremely lucky. I am also very far from the USA, but at a similar time zone. However, I am an early riser, and very often I visit these forums 2-3 hours before the sun rises in the East coast of the USA. No difference; for me, these are definitely the slowest forums I frequent, by very far, at any time of the day or of the night. And as I have explained repeatedly in other threads, this slowness affects only these forums, and only since the first day of the trial period, so it can't be linked with my setup or my connection to the Internet -they haven't changed at all.

I wondered why we hadn't been hearing from you dave.

For me it's still a pain compared to the BJ days but not as extreme as you describe.

Sorry to hear it mate.

waiting for stats.adobe.com and wwwimages.adobe.com

JC's just explained in another post that those wretched things are on the Adobe site, it's not about Jive in this case. Not a problem before because we weren't on the image-heavy, short-cache-timed main site. Of course in here we get to wait for the chunky silver swimmer image file even though it's covered up and we don't see it

wwwimages.adobe.com holds a bunch of css and javascripts too, not just images.

edit: THIS reply took about 10 seconds to show after hitting post. UNACCEPTABLE ADOBE!

lol I'm sorry, the only way I can read this post is in the voice of Professor Farnsworth because of that avatar pic... it's just so in-character.

We should do what he would in this situation: create an army of evil mutant cybernetic robots to storm Adobe's HQ and re-establish non-Jived up forum functionalities. That, or an angry letter!
