OCUK forum speed/responsiveness

[Deleted member 77746]

The forum appears to be flying today, a marked improvement.

I hope it's got a parachute.

Overclockers needs overclocking!

No need as it will be permanent orbit soon.

It's already been done last night 10.3 jiggly watts

forum is still slow for me. I think more of the large threads need to be archived.

 

[~Mike~]

It does seem odd that some threads have been archived and replaced while others still exist.

I turned sigs off and avatars now.

But you still show your own sig

I seem to have more trouble with the forum on my mobile even with wifi on

It's the way vbulletin and the database works. Archiving reduces the views and db load yet still allows information to be available for reference.

From my understanding every time you visit a thread or comment on it all the entries have to be updated and has to query the db. The bigger the thread the more has to be updated. We have had some seriously massive threads. It's a popular forum and even later versions of vbulletin won't necessarily resolve that from what I've heard anyway.

Lots of database errors still on my phone (iPhone 4S) but it's fine - and always has been - on my desktop.

Sack the Hamsters, Gerbils are where it's at.

I understand why you are archiving threads, what I said was why do other large threads still exist? Why haven't they been archived when other threads have been?

 

[-Mike-]

Can you put the search stuff back up the top where it was with the dropbox or is that part of the problem?

 

[Footyslayer]

I was about to say Iv'e noticed an improvement and then the page hung when I went to post

 

[LeeUK]

When forums get bigger than the site. Bit like when pensions get bigger than the companies.

Sounds like your're having lots of fun.

I only replied as my original question wasn't answered.
