Hi All,

I'll be the first to post. We are still working on resolving the performance problem you may be experiencing. I apologize for this, and will try to keep you updated. Please note that when submitting messages, the first click on the 'submit' button initiates the submittal. The acknowledement page is slow to respond, but it eventually will. I appreciate your patience.

Take care,
Dan

Take it from the duplicate posting poster child(me) Dan's telling the truth.

It really does submit, every time you click.

Dan,

You are right!
I experienced the same problem long back, and i observed that is submitting, so iam waiting until it's done.

It's good that u only first posted the issue, before somebody could.

I have had similar problems with XP at home.

Works fine at work with IE 5.

In point assignment, double clicking doesn't hurt anything, keep trying especially when they are to me.

Dan,

I had double-posting-itis yesterday with my tcpdump question. The first one my browser actually crashed (IE6), the second two were double-click on the "done" button. And yes, I know not to do that again, even if the page never changes. I posted my first reply in that thread last night. This morning I had a 404 error on the browser, but the reply did indeed post.

SEP, Dan, I just tried (for the hack of it) to repeatedly hit submit when assigning points, but it is only accepting it once, so in that area nothing is broke (at least not when using Opera 7.10)

Of course I cannot tell you which of my ten hits actually assigned the points :}

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

Thanks everyone....the strange thing is, I've never had an issue with assigning points and I do it quite a bit every month. I use IE 5.50.4807.2300CO -- don't hold it against me. Anyhow, we're still trying to work out the performance issue...although things seem to be pretty good right now, they usually are on Friday.

Dan,

Somebody hit the stop button again! It took 422 seconds to open this thread. Started (or should I say stopped) around 12:15PM EDT.

Can anyone elaborate on the root of the performance problems? Is the bottleneck the excessive dynamic content vs. number of users?

Also, how is the forum implemented (type of HP servers, s/w used, etc.)

Just curious.

Bill,

I've never heard anyone really admit it, but it's been widely rumored that the finest Unix forum in the world runs on MicroSlop. Sad!

Umapathy S — Fri, 02 May 2003 16:34:26 GMT

Pete,
Is it true that our forum is *not* running on hpux or any other unix :( and that too M$?

Dan, can you answer this please?

Re: Please Report Forums Issues - May 2003

Kimberly Ann — Fri, 02 May 2003 17:10:00 GMT

Umapathy, Pete is right...and its been known for quite some time by the long standing members in this community. NT and SQL. But we are working to change that...I can't give you a date right now, but we will make a move.

Bill...we are trying to determine where the bottleneck is. We had a similar problem 18 months ago -- turned out to be spyders crawling the site. Took care of that, but that is not the case today. Database looks ok. Usage is not beyond capacity, although its high. We're looking hard into the front end now.

Thanks,
Dan

The current page count is off. See the commentary here:

Jim,

I believe it always has been. At least it was last August and still is today. Don't know why.

Hi Pete:

Interesting (regarding the page count). I wasn't aware that it was erroneous until today. I knew, though, as soon as I poked the 1403rd one, since my first post in the ITRC was July 6, 2000. I guess that makes me a "veteran" here ;-)

Dan,

I've finally noticed tonight that the posting issue has disappeared. Replies post on the first try, right away. Whatever happened, it looks like it worked. (Although I see a bunch of double replies by Clay.)

{As a side note, Pete, I can't believe that you actually timed the 422 seconds... You need another hobby or something.}

Hope it helps

John
