Work Being Done On The Site

    The website is being worked on behind the scenes to fix some of the issues we've had of late. There will be some changes people will notice like:

    • Quick Reply is gone
    • 30 second wait between searches
    • No more similar threads at the bottom of a Thread View Page
    • No more similar threads when posting NFL News (you need special access to see this)

    What is happening is that as the site gets busier it becomes a victim of it's own success as all the queries to the database slow the site down. We are working to optimize as much as we can before having to move to a new server.

    I changed a setting that should allow people to use the quick reply. There will be one new step to use it however. The instructions can be found in any quick reply box. One click on this button: [​IMG]

    Will unlock the quick reply.

    Very cool. Is the extra click to activate the quick reply an issue at all?

    SoDev Don't tase me, bro!

    No, it's not. It sucked to have to load a new page to reply before, but the quick reply click is instant so that works nice.

    Nope. No extra click for mobile needed.

    I'd love to hear from anyone who feels the site is running faster for them after some of the edits to the site's settings. I also need to hear from any of the members who either have noticed a change or are actually having a harder time navigating the site.

    All I can say atm, is that I had some database errors the last 3 days. I dunno if this had to do with some work behind the scene or any issues by the server host
     
  14. Same....it's been a pain when I'm trying to hammer out the news when that happens.
