Forum Maintenence and Upgrades

Great news. Thanks for the update.

Please and thank you.

It does seem faster

Thank you!

*Today's Posts* is not working properly but the speed has increased exponentially. Sure is nice to move around here without the roadblocks. Thanks. Great work.

We are currently working to improve the forum performance.

​We are working with the software publisher to resolve the issues with slowness, this may involve closing the forums for periods of time to upgrade code and do work that cannot be completed while users are posting and browsing.

​This will be done in segments as to narrow down where the issues are.

​We will attempt to do this maintenance during off hours, however there may be times during the day we will need to disable activity.

​Please bear with us as we address these issues. Updates will be posted on this thread.

Thanks

I did post over in the Facebook group where a lot of the refugees from here landed that the forum is being fixed and is working much better. Already a couple of people have responded. I too hope they come back. This forum is a vital part of my work. I have a vested interest in it being vibrant.

There are still several issues we are working on, continue to bear with us while we try to resolve these.

no worries. The improvements are very nice. We appreciate your work. Thanks!

Yes! Shoutout to everyone involved in getting this forum spiffed up. Very nice so far, very nice!

Well it seems that the forum speed is still good after a week. Very nice. Don't know what the 'few remaining backend things' are but so far I haven't noticed anything bad. I did notice that the error message that popped up while typing a response (and stole the focus from the reply box) seems to be gone also. Again very nice.

There is a downside to this, though: Now I click on 'today's posts' > nothing to do in tumbleweed town > gone within 20 seconds. Before the forum improvement, this took easily 5 minutes, so it still felt like like you were actually doing something here. Darnit...

The quality of the pavement has less to do with the amount of traffic than what's at the end of the road.

I guess that's true. But when the road is badly maintained, bumpy and full of cracks in the pavement, it still feels like you actually did some work to arrive at the end of the road. even when there's nothing to see.
