PLEASE FIX THIS SITE!!!!!!!

[Dude111]

YOUR IN DENIAL TODD.... AT THE LIBRARY USING CHROME IT WAS SLOWER!!!!

I cant believe this.........

Its better on what im using now than it IS on newer crap that has spam ads,etc......

[PhoenixAcres]

For me, It's taking around 11-13 seconds for a page to load, and I'm using the latest version of Firefox.

I don't know if it's power of suggestion (by reading this thread) or if something has genuinely changed recently, but the last few days I've noticed a significant slowdown for me. I don't think it's a disaster or anything, but I thought I'd give my input.

[Dude111]

Thank you Phoenix!!

This host is giving Todd horrible service and I would love to tell them off!!!!!

Nothing but lies.... I begged him not to believe the lies,I hope he doesnt!

Please don't tell them off. The host is not giving Todd horrible service, you have been a broken record about this since long before this thread was created. The extra slowness for you is mainly because of you using a proxy and your antique browser. Leave the host alone, they don't need someone mad as a hornet giving them grief. It is bad enough you have given Todd someone you claim to be a friend so much grief. Look earlier in this thread he said he was insulted you are calling this site barely usable when that is not true. And it bothers him you seem to think he doesn't care. A reminder that he doesn't have the big budget sites like City Data have for a really expensive server. Let it go already and do not tell off or contact the host. We don't need them thinking Sitcoms Online has unhinged people threatening them.

I made two changes last night. It seems to be running a little faster. The server load dropped from 3-4 to 2.

max_execution_time
This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser. This helps prevent poorly written scripts from tying up the server. The default setting is 90.

I changed it from 300 to 90.

memory_limit
This sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. This helps prevent poorly written scripts for eating up all available memory on a server. Note that to have no memory limit, set this directive to -1.

I changed it from 256M to 128M.

There's a lot of trial and error when it comes to some of these settings.

Its called paranoia. He wont update his browser because he thinks hes being watched.

Todd also said he's running a very old computer, or at least the OS is also outdated, like maybe Win 98.

So he ought to go to a used computer store and update to maybe 2012.

[Dude111]

ICECREAM: It was slower at the library using the latest Chrome the other day

What do ya got to say to that??'

Why is Steve hoffmans site fast for me?

http://forums.stevehoffman.tv (Xenforo)

Why is Killermovies fast for me?

http://www.killermovies.com/forums (VBB)

Why is Daves site even faster??

www.videokarma.org (VBB)

Why is city-data that has many more message bases and traffic faster??

www.city-data.com/forum (VBB)

The portal here loads fast!!

www.sitcomsonline.com

Its just the "boards" directory thats slow....... Maybe Todd something isnt configured right I dunno......

I looked at the site and the actual directory is "forums" (sitcomsonline.com/forums) and if you goto /forums it delays and puts you on the "boards" directory.....


EDIT:

Maybe if the boards directory was deleted and everything was put on "forums" it would be faster..... (Not having to goto a different directory all the time)

ITS NOT ME!!!

If you had read my whole post I addressed City Data (and other sites like them that are likely owned by big corporations). City Data has a much larger budget than TJ and can afford an expensive server. TJ can't and needs something affordable, which you don't seem to understand! I am getting fed up with you praising random other sites like Gabe's stupid spiritual forums site, whoever Dave and Steve are, and slamming here, knock it off! You are not trying to help Todd like you claim, you just want things done your way. You act like Sitcoms Online is slow as molasses. It is certainly not that way for me and many other members. Again, please don't contact the host and be nasty with them. It would reflect poorly on this site.

[Dude111]

Im sorry icecream... Maybe your right......

Maybe it IS the /forums redirecting to the boards directory that is the problem....

It didnt used to be THIS SLOW though....

I have been trying to keep myself happy buddy.... My latest acct on CD I have 10 posts (on various bases)

Todd said he cant believe they are still blocking me... He said he would give up after 5 accounts and let them stay!!

I read a message on the about base someone said they heard the site would be down by the end of the year...I wouldnt be surprised seeing how they treat people!!


EDIT2:

Im up to 20 posts..

Someone gave me rep comments on 1 of the replys I made on the game base (A-Z Boys names) - They said this

"get a life, loser"

I dunno who it was......

BUt it is. You're using IE6 which isn't supported. The man has suggested you update both. You wont, you keep comparing this place to other sites and that's ignorant and unfair. Also, library internet isn't going to be as fast as internet at home. Its the cheapest of the cheap and most ppl don't go just to sit on forums.

[stevea]

FWIW I think this thread has more than run its course.

Thanks for all your efforts, Todd. Above and beyond the call of duty!

[Dude111]

I spent 5 mins trying to get here,it kept timing out......

Yes nothing is gonna be done to fix this so You can close it if you want to Stevie........

It makes me sad,I used to love this site and I can barely use it anymore.......


EDIT:

Im blocked,I made it to 20 this time on CD ... Lets party


Todd please fix this site.... You know there is a problem here or it wouldnt be slow at all!!!

It would load like the portal does (sitcomsonline.com)

Im not gonna say anymore of it..........


Stevie you can lock this thread.......

[TJ]

This thread has run its course.

I made some changes last night. It seems to be running much better in the last 24 hours than the last 3-4 days. I will continue to monitor it and tweak it as necessary.

Server Load Averages 1.85 2.15 2.29 | 1,069 Users Online (31 members and 1,038 guests)

For anyone who has a recent browser, decent computer, good internet speed and no free proxy server, it should be functional and run good enough most of the time.

I have to do what's best for the majority of the users. That means continuing to use https.

One final comment to wrap this thread up. The site address has always been https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards . That's the way I originally created it. I put https://www.sitcomsonline.com/forums as a redirect for people who might type forums instead of boards in their browser. The /forums folder is otherwise empty.

This would delay and slow you down even more. Please update your bookmarks and favorites accordingly.
