ComputerBear01 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 That's fine. All I'm trying to tell you is it is extremely slow. I just tryed to post and it said and spun for over 5 minutes. I had to shut it down and reboot. It's not like that all the time but it's definitely on your server's end because multiple people are having issues and I have it at both home and at work. I understand it is slow for yourself and some others but until I have some sort of comparison to another site I can't really make much of the fact that your PC locked up trying to add a post. I know you are frustrated and I want to fix it but I can't do anything without relative numbers. If you could go to speedtest.net and run a test and then post your results it would go a long way towards helping me understand your situation.

SAPACK1 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's very slow for me as well. Going from page to page is ok but trying to post in a thread or vote in a poll is extremly slow. This did not happen with the old server and I do not have this problem with other sites such as setxsports.com., however I do understand that with most everything new "kinks" must be worked out. I went to speedtest.com and my results were as follows Download Speed .56 Mbps Upload speed .82 Mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know if you can tell a difference today as I made a change to the server last night that should help with the speed for folks with connections like yours. Thanks again!

CB01 I'm going to time how long this reply takes to show up. Hopefully things are moving a little better after the work I did last night/this morning. CB01 EDIT: It took almost 9 seconds which not hitting the goal I had hoped for. I may try some different things to speed things up more. Thanks for y'all's patience.

That post went up in less than three seconds. If y'all would test some of the pages/forums/topics that were slow to load for you before and let me know how they do now. Thanks again all!

Eagle8 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 This server is a little slower for me. Last one took 1/2 od a second to load the page when I clicked.....this one takes 2 or 3 seconds now....so I can't really complain all that much, it's not too bad of a change for me.

Pudge Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hate to complain about a great free site, but it has become very hit and miss. Could not log on earlier and when I did get on it would not let me go to any forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo97 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 From the sounds of things, some people seem to be having problems, some aren't. I only say that first to say that just because some aren't doesn't mean others aren't. I for one am one of the persons who is encountering problems since the server change. Sometimes it takes a couple of minutes for my comments to post. Sometimes they double post (which I actually see this happen to others often). Sometimes it allows me to log on to Smoaky, but doesn't allow me to go to any of the forums. And other times it completely times out all together and I have to close the window and open a new one to be able to even do anything. These issues are also happening for me even as of today.

ComputerBear01 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Sorry all for the slowdown within the last couple of hours. I've rebooted and things should be back to normal now. I'm still investigating the cause but I'll keep an eye on things the rest of the day. As always, feel free to PM me if you seen things get sideways.

Derek Well, I don't know that we're back to where we were speed wise but it is at least functional now. I'll keep doing what I can to speed things up but I think we're in the usable range now.

Crawford Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 The server is not the only thing that is slow, but smoaky.com is slow to. I never have seen it this slow on smoaky this time of the year just when the high school football playoffs are about to start. Probably has to do with the server being slow and folks are just getting frustrated and impatient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandbirdie Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I don't have a problem loading initially but when trying to surf thru pages and post there is the diabolical time circle. I don't have this issue on any other sites or surfing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAPACK1 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 While navigating through the site since late yesterday afternoon I constantly have to refresh the pages to get get them to pull up correctly. Not trying to add to your misery just passing on info that may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild74 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Just checking in the historical section and everytime I hit continue reading I got this The server www.smoaky.com at Statistics Area requires a username and password. Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).

LoboFan07 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Just wanted to add that I had a ton of problems yesterday. Sometimes it would work, other times it would take forever to load and then time out. But it's working perfectly for me today so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerBear01 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks everyone for your feedback. Sorry if you lost the site within the last half hour. I tried to turn the blogs back on and it knocked everything else offline so I'll wait to mess with those until the middle of the night Sunday or Monday. Anyhow, if you are still experiencing slowness, I'm not sure what to tell you. Pages are loading for the most part very quickly now. Crawford is correct in that refreshing will only make things worse most of the time. The only exception would be if you are on a wireless connection that is intermittently cutting out. I would encourage you to continue using the site as much as possible over the next 24 hours so we can get a good load test completed. I really believe the changes I've made over the last week should set us up for a smooth sail through tonight. CB01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAPACK1 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Refreshing is the ONLY way I can get the pages to load 75% of the time. It is just a blank white screen otherwise and will stay that way until I refresh. It is worse today (for me) than it has been over the past few days. Man, I know you are working hard to fix the problem but something is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoaky Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks for your patience during this process, believe me it's been stressful for everyone, but it had to occur. Also, I've been on Smoaky.com since about 10:00am this morning, all sections, Historical, forums, front page, and everything is working very smoothly. Maybe it's just me...I've also experienced sluggish times during the week, but nothing today. Also, the blogs take up a lot of space, so we've shut them down for now.

flukeshot Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Finding the site to be very slow and have gotten a couple or three internal server errors tonight despite only 90 people (28 registered users) browsing the high school sports forum.
