Is it me that's slow or Ausfish?

[finga]

The last few mornings I have found the site tearfully slow.
Is it me or Ausfish??
If it's me I need it sorted.

[TimiBoy]

it's AF. You beat me to the thread.

[Marlin_Mike]

You gotta stop sitting in the sun by the shed contemplating things Scotty...................... eating your alfalfa and asparagus sangas. Not good for ya.


Mike

[Steeler]

Yep slow for the last couple of days

[FNQCairns]

ahh there you go, I just this morning ran a couple of programs to clean up the computer thinking it might be this end somehow, worked a little was due anyway.

[charleville]

VERY slow! :(





.

[tropicrows]

I think it's getting even slower as the days go by.

[tropicrows]

I spoke 5 minutes to soon, it seems to have come back to life ....................

[Matt76]

Yeah its been very slow for me too.

[ahamay]

Sorry about the tech lingo but I just did a trace and the packet loss is massive. Mods might want to look into the web hosting server as it's up the creek. This is why is going so slow and timing out.

gremlins again.

[Spaniard_King]

Personally I think it's Finga... have ya seen how long he spends on here no wonder the server is clogged/flogged :)

[PinHead]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh finga..it is like anything of a highly technological nature..just like your Kingswood..stress not and wait and all will be better.

[Lucky_Phill]

all fixed..................

The problem was... the hyper-accelorator drive had dysfunctional vertical triangulators that impacted on the dufuses monograbberlog which suspended priority pixel pulses long enough to disembigulate pre-stratospheric receptors in the hossey holder by providing cold fusion particles with super sensitive gamma-fluxes and therefore releasing......... GREMLINS !

Hey....I think I should be cranky about that...but not real sure :-?

Can I help it if I don't know how to get any another site to go??
As Pinhead has pointed out....I hate technology and am a real technophobe.
That's why I have a Kingswood. But the radio confuses me sometimes ::)

At least I'm honest. I asked if the site was slow if it was still me. :-[

Ausfish was lacking "Programmatic Specificity." True.

[TheRealAndy]

I kid you not, we had a software failure (minor) at the start of this year because computer clocks re-synced backwards by 1 second to compensate for the rotational speed of the earth. Very annoying when you try to validate a cash transaction that happened 1 second in the future.

Sorry about that but I deliberately slowed it down so he could keep up. ;)

Good on ya Mod dude.

[no eye deer]

Since I turned 50, I have become more aware of my own mortality. i am starting to wonder how much time I spend waiting for the site to load.Every time i change a page, i go and make a cup of tea. Not many cups, but a lot of changes.

Man this is getting slower. Morning and night!!!

Are we using a Chinese server?;D


Mark

[Lucky_Phill]

Ever thought it might be your computer or browser ????

Guess we'll never know. !!!!!

[Mrs Ronnie H]

Hi guys

You know Phill as we get older we all slow down--- some of us more than others as you know.

But getting back on topic --- I could almost travel to China and back with a container of fishing gear before the pages load sometimes.
lol

[Steeler]

I thought things had been ok the last couple of months.

So whatever Finga was doing he must be doing it differently now.

Bloody hell.
Blame me for every-bloody-thing eh.
Lucky I don't give a rat's ;D

But things are slowing badly down again.
Must be nearly time for a hissy fit I reckon. :-?

Must be that critical length thingo playing up I reckon :P

[wamjam]

I got the slows up pretty baldly in the last few days so I done the firefox thingy that ash recomended and all is good again.

Mike

Yeah, I'm just about done with this site. My membership is up for renewal. If your paying for a membership and your plastered with adds and the whole thing's a dog to load then I've got better things to do.

The owners might want to think about getting some decent hosting based here in Australia rather than the slow and unreliable hosting from the USA. Will make a world of difference.

[Steeler]

Ok here using Firefox

Don't you have a thing called work to do ::).

[Lucky_Phill]

I think it may have more to do with the members ISP.

Some days ( peak periods ) AF can be a tad slow, but nothing frustrating. Maybe take a few seconds longer to load a page or whatever.

If that happens, I log out and log in again and all is good.

I run Firefox and Optus Cable. ????

AVG antivirus..

Some antivirus's's's's....... play havoc with some systems....

Defrag ya puter, fix the cookies, give the HD a good sweep out and feed the mouse.


Cheers Phill

[Steeler]

Yep those mouse can really spoil things !!!!!!.

[Steeler]

I thought it was Finga also with all his bloody smilies or perhaps Mr PHD OAM AM thanking people again.

[finga]

Oi.....what smilies??
It's always gotta be me when something breaks http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Confused/sorry-20.GIF

Yes. Blame it on Mr PHD OAM AM.
Things just ain't balanced in the world when Pinhead uses that thanks button.

[Noelm]

well I am on a superfast gigabit network, and it is taking minutes to load any page, and to reply (like now) will take at least 5 mins to post!

[Axl]

Yep me too I thought it was the computers here at work (yeah I know I should be working) but obviously not its been like this for days now.

[TheRealAndy]

Fast for me. Have not had any slowness since the problems in September. I am on telstra 3g wireless, which is normally slow itself. Also fine on home TPG, and clients Optus link.

So I dont think there is anything wrong with the AF server (acutally, i know!).

I use Firefox BTW.

[timddo]

Slow as a turdle speed for me. And i have telstra business broadband ( suppose to be fast).

[Mrs Ronnie H]

Hey all
Swapped over to firefox againd and fixed my problem.

lol

[Moonlighter]

Hi Phill

Is there any solution (other than changing browsers to Firefox etc) for internet explorer users? Any setting etc than can be adjusted??

It is taking 20-30 seconds to load each Ausfish page for me lately - driving me nuts. Getting so I dont want to have the grief of visiting .....

Every other webpage and chat site (eg Hull Truth, Fishing NZ etc) Im a member of are as quick as lightning - as you'd expect since I'm on the fastest cable broadplan available in Brisbane.

Cheers

Grant

[Lucky_Phill]

It is with our tech guys as we speak.

It seems to be to do with the Google ads.

A few people have downloaded Firefox and fixed the problem.

should be sorted soon.



Phill

[Marlin_Mike]

Not being rude or a smart arse Phil, but really, people shouldnt have to go to Firefox, it should work Ok on IE. Mine was fine then this slow $hyte started a week and a bit ago.

There are a few issues
The latest version of IE has been released and it has issues
Apparently all the water we have lying around has an affect on alot of people
Apparently the numbers of people online around this has increased the demand on bandwith BUT we are looking at different solutions at the moment

Not trying to tell you how to run your forum, but here's a few things that might help your IT people solve these issues:

- having hosting on slow servers in the US will compound performance issues when problems like this arise. I'd be looking into some decent AU based hosting.

- The version of vbulletin your running is about 4+ years old. This can cause problems with new versions of web browsers like the latest IE etc. Always pays to keep up to to date with the latest version, for security reasons mainly as well as having new features.

- The Ad servers are the fastest way to kill a forum's performance especially when they play up. Consider getting rid of ads for paying members or turn them off completely.

- Without looking into it I'd put money on the fact that there's nothing wrong with the latest versions of IE. It will be a compatibility problem with the version of some of the software running on this site.

Again, not trying to be a smartass and tell you how to run things, but I know these things based on experience in the industry for the last 20 years.

[ahamay]

Also, whatever this link is, get rid of it. Again I think it's to do with the ad serving. it's not working properly and causes the page to load slowly. Could even be the main part of the problem.

[Noelm]

not too sure it is the adds! there is two sites I belong to that are slow as! but everything else if OK, I am not 100% sure what the drama is, but it is very painful for some members to try to do anything at all on Ausfish at the moment

[PinHead]

the way I look at it is: it is a free ..not my place to complain if somethng goes wrong...just wait and let the owners sort out any issues if and when they want to.

Oranisations far bigger than Ausfish have huge computer problems at times..it is just part of the computer world..they are all unreliable as are the providers of software etc. Everyone has an "idea" of what is wrong but if anyone knew instantly they would have made a squillion by fixing Qld health and NAB's problems instantly.

ahamay..if the software running here is having issues with IE and runs fine with Firefox...surely that tells you something about IE??????

[TheRealAndy]

There is a good addblocker for (called addblock plus) available for firefox.

[ahamay]

the way I look at it is: it is a free ..not my place to complain if somethng goes wrong...just wait and let the owners sort out any issues if and when they want to.

Last time I checked I had to pay to post here...so no, it's not free. The fact that I'm plastered with ads and I'm a paying member I disagree with and is bad business in my opinion. But I knew that when I subscribed...so I just have to suck it up. Guess what I'm basically saying is I'm not paying to be a member of this site again until it becomes useable on my computers... be it mac or pc or whatever. I should not be expected to run a version of a browser as a workaround long term.

I disagree with this... not all systems and software are unreliable like you have said. Our country would be in big trouble if this was the case. At the end of the day all these hardware and software systems were created by humans and humans make mistakes.


ahamay..if the software running here is having issues with IE and runs fine with Firefox...surely that tells you something about IE??????

It's not an IE problem, I know that with some certainty. My mac has issues loading this site with safari. I tried to view this thread on my iphone and it timed out loading some junk in the background as well.

I put forward some ideas that the owners can do what they like with..with the outcome of getting the thing fixed and people wanting to renew their memberships.

I'm happy enough to pay to post.. but if I've got to jump through a thousand hoops to do so then I've got better sites to be looking at.

[finga]

Ahamay is just plain legendary.
I followed his instruction from the bottom of the first page here and problems solvered (http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/showthread.php?t=170688)

The mediaonenetwork is a HUGE slower downerer. Look a a page when it is getting loaded. We had to do a lot of waiting for mediaonenetwork because their name was always at the bottom left of the screen.

I did not do the last 3 of the ausfish ones (towards the bottom of the list) though as they got rid of the drop down menu and a few others bits I like.

So cheers Ahamay. Your a gentleman and a scholar.

For what its worth, I have had drama with my laptop loading pages and just updated to the latest Internet Explorer 8 and now its working like a charm?????
I am using Firefox on the work 'puter with no probs - so maybe an update to IE8 could help??? Dont shoot me if you know better because when it comes to computer knowledge I am flat out turning the thing on.........just thought this might help other one finger typists out there!!

Cheers
Scott
P.S Thanks to the Owners/Mods for all the behind the scenes work they do often without much gratitude - it is appreciated more than you will know.

[PinHead]

LOL Scott..I have similar computing skills..even with 6 of the things in the house.

BUT..I have used IE and firefox and both work fine..both quick..no problems at all at this end.

Hi all

I finally bit the bullet and did the free upgrade from Internet Explorer 7 to IE8. Took 15 minutes to download and install.

I can confirm that Ausfish now loads almost instantly!

If you want to do it, in IE7 click on the Tools list in the header and select Windows Update and follow the prompts, select IE8 upgrade and away you go.

So those of you running earlier versions, suggest you give IE8 a go. It may well solve the problem.

Cheers

http://acvs.mediaonenetwork.net/client/pixel.gif

Further to this, if you goto this URL -> http://www.mediaonenetwork.net/ you get the following message:

MediaOne Network

This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon.



This loads on every page and will eventually time-out. You can then get the rest of the page to load as well as the javascript drop down menus etc.

Upgrading to IE8 can create other problems with software you have running if it's not compatible.

[ahamay]

For those that don't want to go through the process of changing browsers or ad-blocking etc there is a simple way to block the mediaonenetwork.net site on your pc (which appears to be down and causing the delays in loading pages).

edit the hosts file in your \windows\system32\drivers\etc folder and add the following:

127.0.0.1 acvs.mediaonenetwork.net

save it.

Browse ausfish at speed like it used to be.
