... 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 ….

works just fine from Romania

Maybe there's less demand for the available bandwidth over there!


There's something about Adobe sites, regardless of server.


They are always slower for me, sometimes more sometimes less, but I can be browsing with instant response elsewhere on the net while the Adobe page makes up its mind.

I think Adobe should provide a solution to a problem that only affects these forums, without users (or participants) having to look for workarounds or helps.

Sorry, Zeno, but I can't read anything in the image you posted.

And I have no evidence that Adobe is working on this particular problem.

it's not about the text, look at the reply icons

Of course we don't have any evidence of whether they are working on this but i try to be optimistic about it and like i said, the forums work just fine for me, i load any page in about 3 seconds. Try fasterfox, maybe it'll help

that just means that somebody removed the version checking and maybe made some tweaks to it without the heavy proofing to make sure that it's bug free. In any case, it hadn't given me any problems yet and i've been using it for quite some time

With all due respect Zeno, there is no workaround for a slow server or path to the server..  I'm on a very fast cable modem and the Adobe forums are by far the slowest ones frequent.  And since the ping time to the server is about 53 ms I must conclude the problem lies with the server itself.

You're just lucky I guess.

I'm running at 12616Kb/s upload speed and 8394Kb/s download speed (so a pretty decent connection) and today these things are crawling along worse than ever.

Alas, Zeno, that goes directly to the issue of credibility.

You don't seem to believe what "everybody around here whines about", so how can you expect us to believe you?

I don't.

What's more, I recognize the attitude and the tone.

Incidentally, I'll open a new thread to comment on the fact that the performance of the forums deteriorates with each passing day.  It's the pits today, especially in regards to the reply editor.

i don't care what you believe, i just stated that the forums work at about the same speed as the old ones which for me is tolerable, i never said that the forums work good for you guys, just that it works good for me.

And what attitude and tone would that be?

Just checked in:

20 seconds to refresh a page … and another 9 to get the Reply Box!

It is unbelievable that the Adobe Forum Development Team's "due dilligence" has landed us with this disfunctional mess.

Logging OUT …

Zeno, you might be amassing points for answers, but you're not getting many points for endearing yourself to the regulars.


Cut down on the arrogance matey!


Is anybody else getting your Rumanian superspeed ? I haven't seen them posting about it.


It is an un-arguable fact that the response time of these forums is getting slower by the day and users are being randomly logged out with increasing frequency.


We are not imagining this, and your crowing doesn't make use feel any better about it.


Adobe has made a fatal error – in spite of numerous warnings they have lumbered blindly ahead into a disaster area.


Your piping up from your "blessed" corner of eastern Europe sounds like fantasy to me.

Even at their slowest, the old forums were so much easier to get around in.


I was determined to make the best of it in this new environment and have been (painfully) trying to help other users since the change but I'm afraid it's going to be "goodbye" from me if things don't get a whole lot better in the next week.

JJ, if you didn't pick up on the dark cloud hint, try thinking Ohio instead of Europe.

my point wasn't to stir up clouds of any kind. Here's the thing, when first starting my browser, my forums homepage loads up at 4.876 seconds, this thread loaded up in 2.159 seconds, going back to the homepage took 0.608 seconds, loading a random thread with 2 posts in it took 0.586 seconds, loading the main PS Windows forums took 5.665 seconds and reloading that same forum took 2.843 seconds. I don't know about you guys but i say that this is acceptable.

i don't get it, is this some inhouse joke? what's in Ohio?

I put Fasterfox back in because of the timer.


It seems to vary all the time. A good page load is 10seconds, some forums take longer than others. Worst case today over a minute.

To post that:

Just took me 6 mins to get from the main forum page to this post. And this WHOLE time I've been trying to open a post in the PS lounge and it's still trying to load. Refreshing doesn't help, doesn't matter what browser I use. Everything else on the web loads perfect, even watch videos instantly so it's not my connection.

dave

thanks, i try to help where i can

John, some 15 minutes after you posted that the forums slowed down for me too so i'd kindly suggest that you don't do it in the future For me it went into "loading" and not showing anything and after it loaded the page it told me that i was logged out. I checked the same page with IE8 and while it still loaded slower than usual it was about 3 times faster than firefox. After i restarted FF it started to get better and i was suddenly logged back in. Right now, after a restart it takes some 6-7 seconds to load my forum homepage, a bit longer than usual but it seems like the lag spike is over, for me at least

In the UK, not that far from John Joslin - however in the old forums he often had slowness problems when I didn't. I don't get many slowdowns. However I was at a different machine earlier with no bookmarks set up, and didn't have time to get around much, going through 'accordions' and such.
