This site seems to take forever to load from one page to the next.

I've checked other forums I follow and I don't have similar issues there.

What can I do to speed things up a bit???

Jon I’ve been having the same problem here, and I thought it was just me.
Anybody else suffering with the same?
I’ve just had a new computer at work with Vista as the operating system, could it be anything to do with Vista that’s causing it to run a bit slower?
 
It's difficult to diagnose as i'm not seeing any issues on my side or a variety of networks.

Can you give me more specifics:
1. Is it all the time or at specific times
2. Is it all pages or just the forums
3. Are you accessing the site from one site or from various places
4. What is the average load time
5. What sort of connection are you on
6. What type of PC and O/S are you on
7. What browser are you using
 
Hi, I'm actually having problems also, the site continually logs out. I have Vista, however, there were no glitches at all prior to the upgrades. Do you have any tips? Cheers, Kerry.
 
Kerry,

Can you explain a bit more about "the site continually logs out"? Do you mean that your have to keep signing back into the site? Is this related to the other complaints of the site being slow?
 
Honestly, I'm not complaining, I've noticed that the pages that come up are done with 'errors', but it's ok.
 
Kerry - no problem but I would like to resolve the issue but can't without more information.

If you give me more details I can look to resolve it.

Thanks!
 
Is anyone else using your PC?

Do you allow or have your computer set to hibernate or standby?

Have you "defragged" lately?

Too many programs running?

Lots of temp files?

Offline web pages?

Is your PC doing any "automatic" downloads at inappropriate times?

All of these things can contribute to a slow running computer and slow downloads of web pages.

Hope it helps!
 
I haven't heard anything more from people on the site being slow. If people are still having problems can you let me know.

Cheers!

Sorry Stephan for not replying.
At least with me all now seems fine and back to normal.
Although I still have “done, but with errors on page” at the bottom left of the page sometimes.
Having said that even with the error message the site is working with no problems.
Thanks
Paul

There is a syntax error in the external Javascript file /js/sportgenic.js. It contains excess <script> tags - those should not be used in external java script files, but rather only for embedding Javascript code directly into HTML pages. Stephan can fix the error by removing the excess script header in the file. Better yet, since the file contains only a single expression, would be removing the reference to the file in the page template (the last line in the HTML header) and placing the code from it (sgi_ord=Math.random()*10000000000000000;) into the header Javascript block just a few lines above it. Limiting the number of calls to external files greatly improves the performance of the server, especially if the are as small as this one - parsing the additional line won't cost the server more than a few nanoseconds, while any disk access (reading an external file) costs milliseconds (~ million times more).

This should have been fixed with a number of changes I rolled out over the weekend. Can people confirm this is the case.

Thanks!
 
Yes, no more JavaScript errors. Thanks! Are there any new features now?
 
Not that you can see

There are some new features to the CMS and some of the logic behind various pages on the site.
