Damn the jive a$$ hamster is slower than the old Webx hamster. I've been logged out of the forum while waiting to get in.

that is weird.

    This topic has been closed for replies.
    Correct answer

    Since the page load times from here (UK) can vary between 3 seconds and 30 seconds, I fail to see the relevance of the server location.


    It seems to be more dependent on the time of day if anything.


    In any case, the slow speed and the logging out (3 times today so far) make this a totally pathetic effort at a user to user forum.


    It's hard to express the magnitude of the blunder Adobe has made, without resorting to bad language.

    ... and we said it wouldn't work!


    ... and we said it wouldn't work!

    And we got sworn at and were insulted for having the temerity to say it; and were told to give the new format a chance … but we couldn't have been more right:

    Adobe's pig-headed dive into Jive has destroyed their Forums irreparably.

    Just looking-in in the hope of seeing some trace of improvement … and promptly checking-out again ….

    this morning these forums were blindingly Slow!!!!

    When I opened my browser which atomically goes to Photoshop Mac. My cats were meowing for breakfast so I went and fed them. I thought a cup of coffee would be good. turned on the radio futzed around in the kitchen for a while. came back to the computer and the forum still had not loaded. this was over half an hour.

    but amazingly enough I was not logged out.

    this Jive software is the worst. I can't believe these guys actually get paid for this stuff.

    I suspect the JIVE engineers are probably working on it during working hours. That may be why it's slower than usual at times.

    If you don't mind, could folks tell us their general geographic area?

    I'm in Seattle. Using the Adobe network and Comcast cable. I'm generally seeing good speed (3 second page load). I'll time what it takes to post this and add it as a reply.

    Thanks!

    Is there anyone from Adobe of Jive who is monitoring anything?  The responsiveness today is absolutely horrible.  I'm starting to get the feeling that the Powers That Be don't give a damn one way or the other.  How else can we react to the total lack of updates/fixes/issues which have been known since before the forums went live.

    This is discouraging, to say the least!

    EDIT:  It took close to a MINUTE for this post to be accepted!

    Slow Slow Slow Slow Slow.  I don't mean to correct anyone but now it's actually a lot slower than that.  I'm on dial-up and I never expect it to be fast, but this is ridicules.

    Hey there Q! 

    it probably would make a difference on dial-up.  I'm on FiOS and it's usually pretty quick, except for here.

    How about using this threads for objective reports on forum speeds, as in the old forums?

    In my own personal experience, speed has been invariably slow since the first time. In the old forums, when everything was working right, any page would load in well less than one second. Now the best speed I get is 10 seconds. These speeds depend only on my connection and not on the computer + browser I'm using, and values are for a 10 Mbps cable connection. I have slower times that I haven't measured recently with a 1 Mbps DSL connection.

    So you noticed that too huh?

    ...At least speed is only the.... well okay, MOST important aspect of a forum's quality.

    ...But at least we got some... well okay, maybe we don't have any kind of "quick quote" functionality that I can see.

    ...Anyway, I'm glad quotes work better... hmm, alright maybe quotes aren't so nice and easy to use (shorten) here at all.

    ...I'm glad the UI... err no, hmm the cursor and mouse do some pretty odd things sometimes. Like when you try to highlight all the text you're typing, it kinda doesn't cooperate so well for some reason.

    ...Well at least we got stability..... right? (Oh, no...)

    Wait a second... THESE FORUMS DO SUCK!

    And why doesn't the color I selected work? Why did the font size reset when I selected a color? Why does double clicking a word in a text field pop up a context window instead of highlighting the word?

    Oh God, how I hate JavaScript kiddies.

    I didn't think that I'd ever consider switching to Yahoo's groups TERRIBLE interface over at Flexcoders, but... this has me seriously thinking.

    The Forums have been rendered

    UNUSABLE

    as most of those who participated in the Test Forum Trials, warned John Cornicello that they would be.

    What a huge loss to us all.

    What a huge loss to us all.

    I was hoping it would be better today. It is horrible. Slow and non functional. As far as "teething" I would say the things that make it bad wont be getting any better because it is Jive.

    It was down for maintenance for a bit.  And hey, it's early days!  No software is without teething problems.

    Installing the crappy new forum and Maintenance are two different things. Please don't confuse them.

    I went out of my way to modify this format so I could live with the infantile look of this forum.  But the performance issues have clinched it for me:

    this forum is utterly unusable.   

    Bye, everyone!
