Support NeoGAF

[aerts1js]

The site feels a bit slow post upgrade. Not dealbreaker slow but just enough to be slightly annoying. Has anyone else noticed it?

Where do I go to complain about this? I'd like to speak to the manager.

 

[bitbydeath]

Seems to be slow for me at the moment as well.
Didn't notice it being slow since the upgrade however.

 

[NeverYouMind]

More traffic?

[JimmyRustler]

Super slow for me as well. Glad to see it's not just me.

 

[Shtef]

I have the same issue.

 

[a'la mode]

Might just be a post-upgrade index rebuild, a database maintenance task that can take some time to complete for a big forum and which can make things a little slower at times while it's running.

 

[Lambogenie]

What's with the mobile view. It's bad.

 

[AJUMP23]

I think it has to do with the updates. Probably just has to work out it clogged tubes.

 

[Decal4]

I doubt they need it but if they need webmaster help I do it for my day job and could do some gratis moonlighting help as necessary.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Really bad today for me

 

[AJUMP23]

Also very slow try to Tag other users.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Suddenly so much worse.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Yeah unusable.

 

[John Marston]

I'll be taking a break today.
Don't want GAF to explode

 

[spons]

There's a massive amount of guests on the forums, probably refugees due to the 4chan hack?

 

[Power Pro]

Okay, glad it wasn't just me, because I keep thinking my internet connection is fucking up

 

[Doom85]

Somebody call the mods, there's too many of them!

I will miss you cowboy.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Completely normal for me.

 

[Kvally]

I am wondering if it is related to the Xeno engine earlier today? All my Xeno forums I visited this morning were all slow as molasses. All my non Xeno forums I frequent were instantly loading.

 

[basement dweller]

Probably the non binaries at that purple forum are doing a DDOS attack

 

[NeverYouMind]

Seems to be loading promptly now!

 

[Laptop1991]

Yeah, i've had issues as well.

 

[OverHeat]

Bad for me today. come on I pay for a service give me speed hahahaha

 

[Hookshot]

seems a bit better now.

 

[OverHeat]

NeverYouMind it was a joke

 

[EviLore]

Search indexing still in progress. After it finishes the site speed should be back to normal. Keep us informed about the situation though. Thanks.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Yeah was gonna say probably indexes rebuilding.

Need a progress bar biatch.

 

[John Marston]

All good for me on mobile thank you!

My break was short

I thought it were all those new members bangin on the door

 

[Kamina]

I thought it were all those new members bangin on the door

Would we call it 4GAF or GAF-Chan though?

 

[Ownage]

I liked the site more pre-upgrade.

 

[Rentahamster]

Maybe you're becoming a speedster, so your perception of time flows more slowly.

 

[aerts1js]

Feeling pretty snappy now. A lot faster.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

get better internet loser

Spoiler

fine for me but maybe it was fixed already

 

[EviLore]

Any specifics you're unhappy with?

Evil, the new emoji pop-up window that pops up just by pressing once on the like button is doing my head in brother, personally, i preferred it when it was press once for a like, touch and hold for the emoji pop up - much faster that way

Cheers

Extremely slow for me and I'm running1Gbps fibre broadband.

 

[GymWolf]

I saw some retarded posts here and there but i would not call gaf slow overall.

 

[kruis]

It can take 5 to 10 seconds to open a link at the moment.. Could someone please reboot the server?

 

[Laptop1991]

No issues in the last day or so, pretty quick actually.

 

[Nankatsu]

Pretty slow yesterday, faster today.

Also I seem to be having some issues with notifications, don't know if other people are having it or not.

I daily frequent a specific OT and I'm not getting any notifications when people post there.

 

[Ownage]

Overall I'd describe the change as going from an E39 M5 to a E60 M5. Some upgrades just don't need to happen, even if the engine is bigger/better.

I'm a near full mobile user. I keep GAF on my short list for Chrome Android. When I clicked on the Chrome icon it used to go directly to the 4 main forum choices: Gaming, OT, etc. Mostly went into OT with occasional Gaming if OT was slow. Now, when I load, I get a features selection and need to go to the icons above. Mostly extra work to get here to OT, less intuitive.

The other thing is while it could be more helpful for some to see how many types of reactions a post gets out front, I enjoyed clicking to see who posted what. In this case, more work was welcomed vs easier to breakdown with less work out front.

Imo, sometimes people enjoy the familiar and predictable. New designs can keep things fresh looking but people may have to readjust themselves and that takes time and risks disengagement. IMO, the last website design was the best I've seen, and that's going as far back as 2001+/-.

 

[chromhound]

What's with updates? Was wondering why it was in dark mode

 

[Laptop1991]

I take it back, the site has gone slow again.

 

[Hookshot]

Getting gateway time outs here.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Site is struggling again this morning for me
