Title: Slow blonde
Post by: tikay on February 13, 2006, 09:50:11 PM
I've been Offline since early Sunday morning, but I gather we have had some tech issues today, & the Forum has been very "slow" to open pages, & navigate.

Our apologies. The Techies are on the case, & all being well, we will be back up to normal speed on Tuesday morning.

Sorry!

Thanks Tikay,  I thought my Laptop was on its way out as nothing i tried seemed to speed it up.

Thanks, like Jim-D I thought I was having trouble with my laptop. But I was abit confused because my laptop is just a youngster at 3 months old.

In another blonde post, Ginger mentioned her laptop hard drive being on its way out. I thought I had this same problem.

Thanks

Apparently the problem has existed all day - we should have put a Post up earlier so that everyone knew about the problem.

Communication is all......!

I had hoped this problem would have been resolved by now, I'm sorry about this.

The techy Guys are on the case, & I hope it will be rectified, or we will have an update on how we are doing with mending it, very shortly.

Hopefully it'll be fixed soon - my work collegues are growing more and more concerned as instead of spening just the 2 hours a day surfing the blonde forum - due to the recent slowness this figure has been raised to six hours.

As luck would have it it doesnt mean that my work rate has diminished because apparently it isnt possible to go below zero........

I don't know if this is related, but just lately, while I'm reading a page, it scrolls up of it's own accord (Bloody annoying)

Any ideas anyone?

I have that problem too Red. The remedy is to ask the Cat not to sit on the mouse. Charlie is sulking now.

I found that purchasing a wireless mouse worked wonders as then they will not sit underneath the sofa trying to jump up and play with the cord as it streches from the laptop to the sofa where i'm using it!!

the scrolling is just the page going to it's original load point (if you scroll down before it's fully loaded it will go back up when it has).
I am still getting the "igatelogbox" loading thingy and oddly it says "transferring from Mikkyworld.com"!!!
I think Mikky has a link in his posts that requires loading with everything else.

Same here - the problem seems to have been resolved. Thank the Lord for that, it was driving me barmy.

Yup, now normal service can be resumed - we can continue to drive you barmy instead  :D

probably because birmingham has still to be connected to the national grid like the rest of the UK, my suggestion would be to ring your electricity supplier and get them to tell gerry the gerbil and hammy the hamster to  ;slavedriver;

Same here, it seems to be getting slower if anything

Takes me back to Ye Olde Times when we had a dial up connection.

Not working for me either.

I am chasing the tech Department as much as I can - in fact, I just had a text to say "it's working fine now", when quite clearly it's not......Grrr!

We have, I'm told, increased the bandwidth today, but it would appear that "insufficient bandwidth" was a red herring, because it is still not working properly.

I can only apologise on behalf of all at blonde. Frustrating, or what?

The guys at UKFast have upgraded our bandwidth so we now have 8 times the previous bandwidth.  However, the server will still struggle under big loads so that is something for us still to fully resolve. The server is a little busy at the moment as I think everyone is catching up with their threads.

We will be doing some additional performance tweaks over the next week or so but we need a major server hardware upgrade to cope with the major peaks we get during live updates.  We will get this underway as soon as we can.  In the mean time, bear with us, there is lots of good stuff coming , and try not to hit F5 too often.

PS anyone got any anadin?

I have some anadin, but do you think that will cure the problem?

I'll try and get some to you in the next day or so
