Test of forum posting speed

[myglaren]

I have also had that a few times and judging by the amount of double and triple posts it seems others have too.

Yep.
It's happened a few times for me.
For a while I was beginning to doubt my own sanity.

"One whose sanity warrants doubting is not capable of doubting it!" Read that somewhere!!

I made another temporary change to the server settings, a couple of hours ago.

Any instances of very slow posting?

[mickthemaverick]

The last couple of posts I've made went through in 4-6 secs I'd say, I'll edit in this one's time

EDIT: 5 secs

Very slow posting is normally just Jim being late to the topic. That took 11 seconds

Just made a short post took soo long to appear that I click submit again - then had a message "another use has made a post" (which was in fact my post!)

More weirdly I then went to "Your posts" - expected to see that thread top of the list = nope! Went then to "New posts" there it was, with last reply as being from me.

Sorry I didn't time it, will try and pay attention next time

There is some strange behaviour in the forum software at present, that I believe is caused by software version incompatibilities following recent server updates. I am having some difficulty identifying the exact issue, as downgrading of software versions can also be problematic.

I have identified one line of enquiry, which may be a shortcut to the solution (or may be another red herring). While pursuing this I have temporarily disabled the post bookmark feature. Your existing bookmarks are not lost and will become visible again when I have got to the bottom of the issue.

I have downgraded the http server package to a previous stable version, and it has fixed at least one of the issues that I was chasing.

Please report on forum performance.

Bookmarks working!!

Thanks for the report.
15 seconds is not wonderful, but better than the worst that we have been seeing.

[mickthemaverick]

I have just posted on four different threads and all posts went in in 3-5 seconds.

Posted a picture on POTD and it took 4 secs, looking ok to me!!

^^^^ this post still not listed in "Your posts" for me.

Just had about 7 second delay on a new post in my own blog
