Website Upgrades

I haven't tried that feature yet, will give it a try the next time I send up a picture (I just got done posting some pics too)

I do have a problem with the pages loading, this new format looks really great, but the pages are painfully slow to load. I typically run 2 browsers at once and visit 2 forums simultaniously.... I can load 4 or 5 pages on my forum, or over at rv.net in less time than I can get this one load a single page. And from what I can tell, it's not actual load time, it seems to be slow response time.

Is anyone else experiencing this or just me? I know it's not my system as the other sites are loading fast like they always have...

It might just be me adapting, but it feels like it's gotten faster for me. I use the subsilver display and come in directly to the forum, not through the main page.

Is the board faster now? I turned off Session IP and IP Blackhole checking and I think that may have been what was slowing it down.

No noticeable increses on my end. I'm doing some tweaking to my browser to see if that may help over here. This upgrade DOES have a lot of nice features, though! 8)

No difference here, and today I'm on the work computer which is cable modem instead of the EVDO that I normally use... still really slow.

Steve, it appears that the issue I had with this new version showing EVERYTHING as a new post has cleared up, too! Now it really does only show the new posts since my last visit, just like it used to pre-upgrade. Sadly, it still loads slowly, but I can deal with that!

Thanks for the great playground, and all your efforts!

By the way, if you ever DO put up a PayPal button, I'm there! :wink:

I don't know if the slow loading is causing you to loose visitors or not. I still visit, but to be totally honest, I don't read all the thread like I used to do. It just takes too long for the pages to load. I can go through 14-15 pages at PUX, HYX, or RV.net in the same time I can look at 3 pages here... I get frustrated waiting for things to load, and just read a few things then move along. Though like the new look, I really miss being able to read all the threads, and that translates into I really miss the old board!!

The download speed for me wasnt too bad, actually pretty decent for a while. Until last night. then the download speed went WAY down. So slow, I almost fell asleep waitin on the page to load. I also used to read all of the threads until the change. Thought you might want to know.

I agree, this site has gotten too slow for me to read the posts as much as I used to...

I hate to bitch about a free service. But I miss the old skoolie.net so much, I'd even gladly pitch in if it helps make the site faster.

Whoa... this is much better, it rocks now!!
