Viaene Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi I don't know if it I'm the only one having this, but SF has become really slow in loading the main forum page since the new update a few weeks ago. All the other websites load very quick though.. Any other Europeans (or other continents) experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 me me me. It's always been rather slow for me, but it's supercalifragilistic slow recently. But I don't think it's the main forum boards for me... it's when I click on a thread that it takes forever to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Very slow for me too, although I've only been bothered by it for the past week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I am European and yes, it takes some time to load... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 it's pretty normal for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowsnow Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Can't find any difference either. It's the same average speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'll have a look at some settings - I have a feeling the cache isn't clearing like it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 still slow here all other sites are working fine. could it be firefox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 The boards are often slow for me too, but not all the time. I also use Firefox. I remember Shawna had some entirely unrelated problems after the upgrade with Firefox. Maybe that's the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 slow here too. Firefox as well. I'll try with Chrome and see... wow, Google Chrome is fast!!! now I'm on IE... slow as well... maybe I should try Safari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Chrome is the fastest by far. But chrome can't open pdf's in linux so I'm forced to use firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 This might be a caching issue - it gets slow on me when I first log on and enter a forum. I'll check with the Fusion guys and see if we can clear this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks Carl, I appreciate that At the moment (1 pm GMT) it's going faster then usual. Maybe I should stop browsing songfacts when the US returns from work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I've never had any issues browsing this site re: speed factors, and I'm using the current version of Firefox. So I don't think it's the site that's the problem, or else everyone who tried to access it would be experiencing the same issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I can enter the site and switch forums okay...but after I post something in a forum...it's very slow after that...it pauses for a quite a few seconds before it shows....but then again I've also had issues with my computer.....

Lea Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Sf keeps crashing on me and has been for a few days now. Anyone else having this problem. Getting this message constantly....

Shawna Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I know there are some server updates/upgrades being done this weekend. Not supposed to effect the site, but apparently it is... hang in there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 You know I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 It's not you Lea, it's us, but I'm hoping it's fixed now. We got a little overloaded on Thursday, and after a reboot, we looked under the hood and decided it was time to run a bunch of upgrades. These can get tricky, as I'm sure many of you have had something no longer work after an upgrade. Anyway, we spent today doing the work, so there were a bunch of burps for folks using the site. If all went well, we should be like Daft Punk: better, faster, stronger. If you guys notice anything choppy around Songfacts - on the main site, the mobile site, the boards, the calendar, etc., please post here so we can check it out. I'm hoping this at least improves our speed issues with the forums - if it doesn't we'll keep digging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I clicked on the calendar link in your post above, Carl. I forgot about that. I like it. I noticed you have to click on the "more events from today" link in the Music History event of the day box on the right side of the main page to access it. I'd like to suggest a "Music History Calendar" link in the link list on the left side of the page, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 That's a good idea. The calendar can be tough to find if you don't know where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 is the site running slow for anyone else? Not just the board - the whole entire site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 No, it's fine for me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
