Forum move to new server

I guess I better let it rest while pumaman solves the server issues.
I'll check later

it seems if you added a game after a certain date it doesn't show anymore $:-\$

Hmmm, ok then, I'll just add it again. thanks

Edit: Editing my profile didn't help and the game IS registered on the Games Page. Any hint?

The forum is not currently connected to the live games DB as it's on a different server.

This will be rectified once I've decided whether to go ahead with using this server or not.

In the meantime, please DO NOT add your game again, you'll end up with two copies on the games page and it still won't appear here.

Please just be patient, I'm sure you can survive a week without the game listed in your profile.

miguel · Sat 03/05/2008 20:25:44

Ok, sorry about that.

Pumaman · Sun 04/05/2008 12:04:05

Ok I've just finished doing some optimization work to the database. If from this point on you get any slow page loads or timeout errors, please let me know.

Pumaman · Mon 05/05/2008 17:17:30

Has anyone had any slowness problems in the last 24 hours, or does it all seem to be working properly now?

dasjoe · Mon 05/05/2008 20:23:33

I've used it from three different connections now, the forums refuse to resolve from time to time.
I tried various computers and DNS servers, so the slowdown shouldn't be on my end.

Also, some pages load quite slowly (especially the category indexes). You may want to adjust your accelerator's settings a bit.

Apart from that it's fine. Slow but working, most of the time.

With me the conection is as normal as it was before.

That's odd, because the DNS server for the domain is still the same as it always has been, so it wouldn't make any sense if "www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk" wasn't resolving but "www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk" was, since they're on the same DNS server.

Odd, all the page loads including the index are pretty much instant for me now. Is anyone else finding it slow?

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Tue 06/05/2008 00:15:07

I'm getting much faster page loads than previously.

Domino · Tue 06/05/2008 00:32:55

The Forums are running much faster than they were a couple of days ago.

auriond · Tue 06/05/2008 07:33:47

Thirding that the forums are faster now.

Both couldn't resolve last night, so it could've been some DNS bug in my routers. It's fine now

I've pinged the IP a bit, usually it's around 150 ms but some packets (1 in 10 maybe) just drop or are delayed to 400+ ms. My ISP probably doesn't like America

Oh, also this just happened:

QuotePage created in 2.02 seconds with 14 queries.

What is it with me finding problems no one else has?

riseryn · Tue 06/05/2008 16:39:06

I have also sometimes to reload the page because the name cant be resolved

SSH · Tue 06/05/2008 17:06:35

I find that most pages are really fast but ones that perhaps haven't been updated (or viewed?) for a while (like older threads) are really slow.

Hmm interesting -- well, by the sounds of it this isn't particularly related to the new server but is simple some sort of outstanding problem. If I go ahead and move everything to the new server then I'll take the DNS with it and maybe that'll fix this issue.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that the server performance is back to normal. Just one outstanding question for you all -- are any of you successfully receiving notification e-mails? I know there are some problems with the email sending at the moment so I'm curious if it's working at all.

Nikolas · Tue 06/05/2008 20:15:20

For your question, no, but it coincided with changing email accounts and password when I had trouble with the hotmail account, so I can't be sure...

Ryan Timothy B · Tue 06/05/2008 21:58:43

The only notification email I received was the AGS 3.0.1 now available!‏, on April 20.

Babar · Tue 06/05/2008 22:05:46

I got two PMs today, and didn't recieve any notifications. I had set it to notify me by email when I got PMs.

LimpingFish · Tue 06/05/2008 22:12:53

I have notifications turned off, so I got...nothing.

Load speed seems a little faster for the main site. Forums about the same. There used to be a delay in loading www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk (Firefox would say "Looking up www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk..." for about fifteen to twenty seconds), but it seems to have gone now.

vict0r · Tue 06/05/2008 22:51:59

I haven't really noticed a single problem.. Ever...
