ColdHands Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) Is it just me or is this forum excruciatingly slow? E.g. 10-20 seconds to load a new page / post a reply? Other websites are way faster right now. Edited March 7 by ColdHands Quote
Coinery Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) I came here to say the exact same thing! I’ve also noted the word ‘test’ in the top left corner, just in case that’s relevant? Edited March 7 by Coinery Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 7 Posted March 7 The 'test' thing has been there for a while. It was something I did and tried to undo. I thought it was only visible to me! It would seem that my host is probably having issues, as my other websites are also slow. I'll get them to check things. 1 Quote
ColdHands Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 (edited) @Chris Perkins as an asides, do you rate Invision higher than, say, Discourse? [I'm interested in creating my own small forum for something unrelated to numismatics or even collecting altogether] Edited March 7 by ColdHands Quote

[I'm interested in creating my own small forum for something unrelated to numismatics or even collecting altogether] I chose Invision all those years ago and have used it ever since. I'm afraid I have no experience with the alternatives. phpBB may have been the only competition back in 2002. I always delay major updates for as long as possible because they always causes complete failure, like the one in October last year. There are of course many other server-side factors that play major roles in causing it to go belly-up when upgrading. It would probably be even worse attempting to migrate a fairly large forum to something else at this stage, so I'll stick with it as long as it works. I'm no whizz though. There are probably many other capabilities that I haven't explored. Quote
ColdHands Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 Hi thanks for the reply. Don't worry, l wasn't sugesting changing software, my enquiry was completely unrelated to this site, this is my first week here and it looks good. Though l'd like a night theme if possible, easier on the eyes Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Looks like the next major new version will include a night theme by default. For this version it can be done with an add-on. I'll look into it. 1 Quote
ColdHands Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 Woo woo. OK. The forum is fast now, thanks for getting it fixed! Quote

Coys55 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) Test has appeared ever since the new site was launched, so I don't think that's got anything to do with it. Edited March 10 by Coys55 Quote

No, it didn't have anything to do with it. And I can't for the life of me find how to remove it. I think I added it to the customisable header area and then deleted it and nothing is shown in the header part, but it won't go away. Quote
Coinery Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Yes, awful…couldn’t load it at all for most of yesterday 😩 Quote
secret santa Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago I was going to say that it's fine on my PC but then it took around 20 seconds to come up. Quote
Peckris 2 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Having .... the .... same ... problem ......... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Should be ok now. Some internet nasties were attacking the old predecimal site that I kept online in a secret place. 1 Quote
