Faster Site

[SidewinderX]

Do ya'll notice it?

 

[Yuri]

Somewhat, I suppose. But the lack of the /me command, the attachments being opened in the same window, and how the thread looks unread if you just posted in it make up for it.

I'm so mean... great job, HL2.net staff!! :thumbs:

 

[Chris D]

Thanks Brad from Limelight Networks if you've noticed a speed increase. He just changed a load of settings for us.

 

[Phisionary]

when did this take effect? Like, just now? The las day or so it's been really slow, and i get a lot of page errors... If it's supposed to fix that, then,... Yay.

 

[Chris D]

About 90 minutes ago.

 

[Dedatorv]

I definitely notice some speed increase. Pages now load in half a second.

 

[Phisionary]

Yes. I can now say that things are definitely moving smoother now. Not getting page errors or delays over a couple seconds. V. nice!
Thanks Brad!
Thanks Chris_D!
Thanks hl2.net!

It was always pretty much instant... but, hey, better instant-loading! I'm all for it!

 

[FoxDie]

Earlier today it was horribly slow, but now it's running super smooth :thumbs:

Although, like Lazicsavo, it's usually pretty fast for me anyway

 

[Letters]

Lazicsavo and I are the same person now, are we?!

Sorry Letters, I posted after reading a post from Lazicsavo in another thread (I usually have a bunch of topics open at a time)

 

[FictiousWill]

IT's always seemed fast to me. But faster's always better. No same-window nonsense in firefox. Everythings in beautiful tabs.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Yeah, it's extremely fast now. Thanks, you rock!

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Yeah, I noticed! Fantastic! Fandabidosi!!!! :E

 

[Varg|Hund]

Great :E

Now I only need to haxor the forum, find out what you did, and then do it to the EoJ Forums

The server apparently freed some more bandwith for them....so I don't think the same can be done to EOJ.

 

[The Mullinator]

I wouldn't have noticed the speed increase except that we now have over 500 people viewing the boards and I know from the past that the site always got significantly slower once we passed around 300. At least thats how it always seemed to me.

 

[Maxi]

Yeah I've noticed that its now ALOT faster! Thanks Brad!

Anyway, when are you guys *starmonkey* gonna fix the bugs?

 

[StarMonkey]

Great :E

It wasn't a forum change, it was a change to the server configs

 

[Hazar]

Right now it's really slow for me.

 

[Yuri]

Right now it's really slow for me.

Yeah, just about 15 minutes ago it got really bad, and now its changing between being really slow and really fast...

 

[CptStern]

there are 576 people looking at the news section ...no wonder it's so slow ...so many people here to see the video

 

[Chris D]

Yeah I apologise. You should now be experiencing more reasonable speeds on the forum.

We didn't anticipate that it'd be so popular and alas it killed the site bandwidth.

Holy crap you're right. Imagine what it will be when HL2 is released!!!

no need to apologise ..anything that can bring 500 people to the site at any given time is a great thing ...too bad you dont make money off of advertising ...virtual goldmine!

 

[Hazar]

Ok, now its much faster. :thumbs:

NO! Don't give them ideas. Just kidding.
I noticed that it got really slow this afternoon but besides that I like how it loads faster.
