Slow, slow, slow (III) !

[Claudio González]

The thread with this name that was closed with no explanation did serve a useful purpose, so I am opening a new one to replace it.

Speed is back to normal now, and if there was a shutdown, I wasn't here to witness it.

What support do you envision needing?

Hook it up and go, that's pretty much all there is to it. If you have a convoluted network problemon Windarz or on Macthey won't really help you. That's always been the user's beast to deal with.

I am accessing the forums via Comcast and it is running in Maglev (bullet train) Mode at the moment.

:)

[Claudio González]

Completely useless right now. Over 5 minutes to get here.

[Claudio González]

All has seemed completely normal for the last 15 minutes.

Last couple of Days seems to be working okay. Waiting for other shoe to drop with each message.

And that would possibly tell you it had nothing to do with the size of their servers?

Maybe they're just randomly and alternately happy, or not happy, to see us.

XD

ya... some logins have a slo-mo switch applied to them that they flip randomly.

[PJonesCET]

Not necessarily if they dumped some files to make room. :D

It also could be there was a Bad file that maybe someone finally decided to look at and dump at WebCrossing.

I went two days last week with little problem then the next message after the exact 48 hour period ,I had to wait on.

Who knows maybe the WebCrossing folk have been monitoring this forum and decided maybe they better bring another server on board.

I don't know that, and you don't either. :D

Don't know if it's a coincidence or a geographical link, but eBay (also based in San Jose) seems to experience the hiccups at around the same times these forums do, although the slowdowns at eBay are not nearly as bad as here.

[PJonesCET]

Oh I might have known! California! No wonder we been having problems! :-D

[Claudio González]

It had been normal earlier today, but it just took me over 6 minutes to get to the forums, and nearly 20 seconds to open this page.

[Claudio González]

12 seconds to post #186.

[Claudio González]

More or less normal now, although it seems a bit erratic.

Do you ever sleep?

You somehow manage to be the person posting whenever the server is restarted (as it was around 2:30 PST this afternoon).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think 2:30 PST should be either 5:30 or 6:30 here. Hardly a time to be asleep.

For the first time in a long time, the forums are slow here in CED; mostly about a minute or two for every post.

Switching between forums and using time to write and post makes it work tolerably.

Edit: Quick again.

[Ramón G Castañeda]

Erratic, mostly slow, now.

[~graffiti]

Well, at least we had a couple of days where the speed was almost as fast as a "good" forum.

[D__McCahill]

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I might think that someone at Adobe was trying to make people think that this web interface was too slow, so we would all start clamoring for them to convert these forums back to the Dark side. (Or so that we wouldn't notice the slowness when they try to move us next time.)

[Guest]

Pretty crappy lately, I'm with Don.

[Bob_Peters]

Very unpredictable.

This morning the Lightroom Beta 2 forum was terrible. I grow tired of watching the "contacting adobe.com" only to sometimes have the server drop the connection.

[john_cornicello__retired_]

There isn't any connection between these forums and the beta forums at labs.adobe.com.

[Guest]

very funny loading all day. not ha ha kinda funny either. very jittery and always seeming to need to reconnect to adobeforums.com or waiting for adobeforums.com...
