Q&A Forum Slow Performance

[manintights28]

The dashboard works great, but the time to get a link to respond in the Q&A forum is painful.

I am on a 15Mb connection and have an SSD hard drive. It is only this site that is slow. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or are you all very patient?

I'm with you Chris - the forum has been slow of late - but the wait is well worth it

Hi Chris are you saying that most of the other sites on the network just fine? And that the only time you're really Experiencing here this when you actually hit the reply button or using Q&A form? If that is the case is most certainly site rather than your connection or your computer set up. Try using it on your smartphone or another device and see what you think. I think that all in all What SEOmoz has created here is much more complex and better then the regular bulletin board so there has to be on more loading time when anyone responds or posts to Q&A there's probably a lot of Java or other stuff going into effect taking up time. But the wait is worth it all the best, Tom

Thomas, I agree that the forum is a great product -but it is pretty slow

I do agree with you man I think that it was though a smart move when they switched hosting from Amazon from what I understand there was quite a bit of trouble with the system there and now that were with I believe wow host we are getting very high-quality uptime and decent service in my opinion. Good things come to the come to those who wait So says Folgers I believe for some commercial

only the forums are slow. The dashboard responds like a Web app should, very responsive.

But clicking on any link in the forum, such as to browse a category is painful. I open another browser and go look at another page on a different monitor while the forum loads.

Not a pretty or fun experience. Hope there is a cure. Thomas mentioned it was worse?

yes, it could be worse than it is. I'm just spoiled now that I'm not on dial up any longer.

Hi Chris yes we used to be hosted 100 percent on Amazon and I'm talking about much the form but the tools everything and now it's a hybrid system so everything runs smoother and much more quickly I'm speaking in general about the entire monster. Not just the forms. I guess there was issue with the hard drives burning out and all sorts of stuff

Hi Chris and everyone else,

Thanks for the comments. I noticed some slow response times yesterday. Right now things seem fine from where I am, but I'll drop a note to the developers and have them take a closer look at things and see if we can make sure the slow response times don't happen again.

Thanks!

Keri
