Slow as all get-out

[CivFan91]

I saw the other thread. So, is more admin-work going on, because it takes a game of Minesweeper's worth of time to load threads...

At the time you posted, the site was undergoing one of it's regularly scheduled "admin times". Database backup, IIRC.

 

[smjjames]

yea, it was one of those late-night forum maint things.

 

[WildWeazel]

Do we need one of these threads every time? It happens at the same time each week.

3 seconds doesn't seem to bad to me...

 

[BCLG100]

Mine wasnt the same time, was just when rik messed up the forum

 

[smjjames]

yea, that time was unusual since it was in the middle of the day or something and it was wierd, but since this one was at 11 PM, I figured it had to be maint because it was so late at night and I don't complain about it when I know its maint because they have to do it sometime.

 

[CivFan91]

OK. Thanks.

Oh, and I meant a good expert game if Minesweeper. Even when I lose, it gets to about 150-200 seconds...

There are two backups each week, Sunday night (2 AM EST) is forum database backup and Tuesday night is site files backup.

So tonight at 2:00 ET, or midnight MT things will be slow. Damn, thats prime posting time for me. I guess I'll read a book instead.

Birdjaguar: it doesn't usually take that terribly long. Maybe just read a chapter.

 

[Ansar]

ouch, it is slower than usual, is this the Tuesday night thing TF was talking about?

 

[Padma]

No, that's still about 4 hrs away. And I'm not seeing any slowdown, here.

 

[Ansar]

Maybe its IE! But its been so successful for the past 10 yrs...

Perhaps, but a good book will capture me for a while. I'm just starting the sequel to Aztec.
