pete.young Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I seem to be experiencing serious delays using the site tonight (11th March, 10.30 - 10.45) . Time-outs trying to load roughly every other page. No other sites seem to be suffering. Is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I think because so many people have removed / are removing attachments, the database can't keep track of all the changes on the website which is really slowing things down and causing database errors & glitches. There are no installed tools to check / reset the databases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Rather than start still another thread on this subject, I'm re-using Pete's. Re-cycling is good. I am routinely suffering from this problem, and have done for months & months. There are certain days, or parts of days, when trying to do anything on Basschat becomes virtually impossible. Individual page refreshes can take several minutes, time-out's become a normal part of the browsing experience. With all the housekeeping that's taken place over the last month or two, I was hoping that there would be an improvement. This has turned out not to be the case. Is this a recognised issue? Is it widespread or confined to a limited number of users? Is there anything more that I can do do reduce the scale of the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 This has not been an issue for me. Can you detail any time periods that this occurs in particularly ? When you do get in, are there lots of people logged on (especially guests), visible at the bottom of the forum ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 FWIW, although I'm rarely on Basschat*, this hasn't been a problem for me, either. I'm on Virgin cable, FWIW. [size=1]*This may be a lie.[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 ISP likely to be irrelevant, I suspect it'll be a server load issue possibly related to quantity of Google spiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have found the site slow over the past few weeks between 9pm and midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLOYDWT Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) I've been experiencing these same issues for a while now, but only whilst using Google Chrome, the site runs perfectly for me with IE9, I've not tried Firefox or Safari. So it may be a browser related problem? Edited July 11, 2011 by LLOYDWT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I use Iron / Chrome.... it's been OK fer me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do get in, are there lots of people logged on (especially guests), visible at the bottom of the forum ?[/quote] With an absolutely wicked sense of irony, when I tried to reply to this post my screen hung on "loading" for nearly five minutes. A little earlier, I posted feedback for Jakesbass ... that took roughly three minutes to load. The problem has nothing to do with my end of things. I get exactly the same problem whether I'm on Basschat from home (Virgin Media Cable, super-duper uber-fast Broadband XXL package) or as now, from work (corporate-level ultra-hi-speed everything). I use Mozilla Firefox at home, Internet Explorer at work, so it ain't a browser issue. So far as timing is concerned, it seems to be entirely random. I have days where everything works blindingly fast, all day. I have days where every single action all day takes forever and I end up spending the day elsewhere. I have days which are a random mix of the two. I've long suspected that there's some sort of link to the PM system. It is VERY common for the problem to occur either when I'm responding to PMs, or when I'm trying to do other postings immediately after dealing with PMs. I've also noticed that the email notification system for PM's has become increasingly sporadic, with sometimes very long delays before I get an email telling me that I have a new PM, and also (bizarrely) a sort of domino effect where a new PM from one person will finally spark a long-overdue email telling me that the previous PM from someone else entirely has been received.

ped Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ben mentioned something to me about a kernel issue or something, but said that it should be now sorted.

Happy Jack Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 A kernel issue? Well it's at least a major issue ... and arguably it's a general issue too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
