Forum Down

Still brilliant here, back on Talk Talk Business

[ultimatehandyman]

I just got a text from Dave.

It is sticky here too, I have notified support

[thescruff]

Hopeless here again.

[ultimatehandyman]

It's as fast as anything again now

[mod5]

back to full speed

[dave.m]

Working fine now on both Plusnet and 3Dongle network but both were like treacle when I texted you.

Better than it was but not top speed by a long way.

That was better.

[gas4you]

Now using orange dongle and all well here still.

So so far talktalk business good, orange blackberry good and orange dongle good.

How long for though?

[thescruff]

Slowing up a noticeably 22:33

Not as bad as it has been, yet.

[thescruff]

Periodically Slowing down noticeably 17:39.

They tweaked something on the server yesterday again.

Hopefully it will be OK now

[thescruff]

Couple of times it took its time but nothing like its has been the last few days.

[ultimatehandyman]

I hope it is fixed. I'd hate to have to move servers again after the hassle I had last time

[thescruff]

I still think it's a graphic thing, and they have a good idea what.

I don't believe in co-incidences and the problems we are getting and the forum going down has to be related.

Having done a bit of research it appears that the avatar size could be slowing the forum down considerably.

I have changed the maximum avatar size to 150*150 pixels and made the maximum file size 20kb (it used to be 60kb)

This will not effect existing avatars, although I may try and compress a few of them to lessen the server load
