DirtyLarry Veteran Posted September 26, 2011 Veteran Share Posted September 26, 2011 Did I say anything about a single user testing? No, I didn't. But you don't simply go from no one using it to everyone using it. You allow a limited number of people to beta test it, and slowly bring in more and more people. And even a single person testing it should have noticed that things were missing, like the editor! Before every single upgrade they let subscribers and staff test the new forums, usually for a good few weeks. Seriously, do you ever get tired of pretending to know it all?

AJerman Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Eh, I'm not too overly impressed with the new version of IPB. Not anyone at Neowin's fault, IPB's fault. It doesn't seem as friendly to navigate anymore. Perhaps having some other themes will help.

trag3dy Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I like it but I think a condensed version like was given to the fronge page would be nice. Or rather an option to condense the height of each row. lol Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1028052-upgrade-day/page/6/#findComment-594337896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 26, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted September 26, 2011 speed is back to normal now :) actually some things seem to be a little faster than they used to be :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1028052-upgrade-day/page/6/#findComment-594337916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Speed is picking up. At the bottom "Community Rules" and "Quick Nav" need a space or perhaps a | between them, as right now, it's CommunityRulesQuick Nav. It's a small thing, that can be put at #100 on the "To Do" list.

ViperAFK Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 There were a bunch of JS files missing, I've just re-added them, so the editor should be working properly again now :) Thanks, it does work now Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1028052-upgrade-day/page/6/#findComment-594337926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The issues we've had have NOTHING to do with Apache. Apache is totally capable of handling the load Neowin experiences, even when we have breaking news stories that attract thousands of hits. This is simply proved by the fact that the speed was fine before the upgrade, and all the was changed was the IPB software. I don't know whether Apache is to blame or not but the statement highlighted above is stretching the truth a little. Take a look at Ambroos's post a couple of pages back as that gives a far more accurate description of the performance of Neowin.

Take a look at Ambroos's post a couple of pages back as that gives a far more accurate description of the performance of Neowin. How so? Neowin has almost-always been fine for me in terms of speed.

Southern Patriot Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 C'mon, you know you can't test every situation in a test lab. What editor isn't working also? I have no issues here but maybe that's cuz of my status as well? I tested on the test forums as a mod so maybe I didn't see those issues you guys are mentioning now. Speed definitely improved! (Y) The editor problem I'm talking about has been fixed, but earlier this morning the reply dialog was missing all of its toolbars.

jakem1 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 How so? Neowin has almost-always been fine for me in terms of speed. Aside from some hiccups after upgrades, things usually get back to normal pretty quickly. I regularly find that it takes a long time to navigate around the forums and to post comments. Sometimes it might just take a second for the page to load and other times it takes many seconds. Sometimes I begin to wonder if the site might be down and then the page will finish loading. When posting I sometimes have to wait up to 30 seconds before the post is saved and I have to make myself walk away to avoid clicking on Add Reply again and ending up with duplicate posts :laugh: It's not unusable but it's noticeable and Neowin is definitely the slowest site that I visit.

Barney T. Administrators Posted September 26, 2011 Administrators Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hey guys, as we all know, when we upgrade there is some time when we have to tweak and change things to make the site go smoother. In addition, the custom themes and tweaks take time to be implemented. I can assure you that the admins and devs are working to make the site run as smoothly as possible. Please bear with us. A little patience goes a long way. (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1028052-upgrade-day/page/6/#findComment-594338166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 One other problem. Clicking on the title of this thread from the New Content page takes me to the first page of the thread rather than the page I'm up to. Also, the title is still bold on the New Content page once I've finished reading the thread so it makes it look as if there are new posts (despite the fact that there weren't any).
