    I'm guessing this isn't just me - dynamic forum pages are very slow (static assets are fine and dandy, which points to some backend issue). Figured the new sysadmins ought to know. 3-4 seconds waiting before the page begins to be delivered. 8 seconds alone to load this newthread page :(

    Code:
    >  ~  time curl -s -o /dev/null forums.bit-tech.net
    curl -s -o /dev/null forums.bit-tech.net  0.01s user 0.01s system 0% cpu 9.669 total

    And I'm on a monster net connection only 4 hops from the actual server, so it aint me, guv ;)

    Forum's chugging for me as well, occasionally spits it's dummy out with a Bad Gateway error too... Plus a there's been a spate of double-posting since the switchover...

    Maybe the new hamsters haven't been fed enough...

    Very slow to post particulrly on the tablet but also via desktop but not quite as bad.
    Hopefully the gremlins will be found and dealt with.
    But compared to the PCAvisor forum pages where gremlins are considered justified because the site is 'free' Bit-Tech has always been relatively poblem free.

    Hi,

    Yes, things aren't quite perfect right now. I'm tuning what I can, but also need to do some instrumentation that can't happen instantly.

    So, bear with us! And know that I'm kept aware of these problems by the monitoring software, when the servers feel the need to tell me "um, steve, gimme a break!"

    Things, hopefully, are a little better now.

    Getting better on my side of the pond.

    Still need to fix the favicon.ico thing one of these days though.

    Not sure why it's bugging me, but it is :worried:

    Same for me at the moment. I have been noticing this most when updating my "participated threads" page in Tapatalk - the update took well over a minute about an hour ago (23:00 DST). I miss the usual red names more than ever now as well. Yoda, Jamie, Tim, RTT and Nexxo to name but a few :( If Krikkit disappears into regular blueness now, I quit.

    Alrighty, I've spent most of this evening trying to improve the situation.

    It's still not perfect, as the there are some things I simply can't make use of just yet.

    Let me know how performance is over the next few hours.

    ninjaedit: Some of the 502s are caused by me updating the config, creating a run on a server with cold caches. So I would ignore anything you've seen performance-wise up to 1am BST when evaluating things going forward.
