Loading issues

[Lemon Boy]

Heeyy, loving the new update so far.


The only problem that has been REALLY irking me is the loading speed.


One of which is that the load times between pages are very, very slow. It takes around a minute and a half just for me to reload a page to look at a reply to a thread.


Accessing the site is even worse, which takes me a solid three or so minutes. That's probably not a major problem, but It's a massive inconvenience when you're online almost all of the time.


Which I am and no doubt quite a few others are.


Is there a reason why this is happening and when we could expect to be...well, running at normal speed again?

The load speed is a known issue and its something we are working on as fast as we can but twe are limited to how fast the site finishes rebuilding everything.

Ah okay. 


That's fine!


Thanks for the response!

I would like to point out that the loading issues are more extreme for me. It takes upwards of thirty seconds (and sometimes even a solid minute) for the site simply to retrieve and display alerts in the notifications panel. The loading issues for me aren't simply a matter of transitioning between pages, every facet of the site is affected.

I think it is just slower in general, and if your internet is already slow it will be taking quiet a while, I imagine the servers are working overtime trying to fix all the bbcode all over the old site, and new load requests add more stress.


From what I can tell there is little that can be done, as buying a larger server would leave us paying for a larger server than we need after the site is restored.

The loading issue goes so far that I cannot proceed to page 2+ on forums. It simply times out and kicks me back to the main forum listing.

Having this, too. My only problem is the loading time between pages though. All the other stuff are good.


EDIT: And posting replies. Or is that a norm?

Do we know when the site will be finished rebuilding? Initially we were told 5-7 days on the rebuild and I believe we are on day 8 now since the site went live. Everything seems to be said that it will be fixed when the site finishes rebuilding so having a new estimate on that would be very nice.

I was running through the site like oil over skin, smoothly. Suddenly today I came to the largest wall of loading screens I've ever experienced, and this is coming from someone clocking in 60 mb/s WiFi. Come on Wiz, make the sweatshop kids pedal a little faster.

I feel you. It's been taking me a minute to load notifications, and 5 minutes or more to load a page. It took me 25 minutes to get here, and I got here from coming to post a thread just like this. xD

Could this be a problem due to how many gifs or vids people post....
