Title: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: The Krazy One on October 30, 2012, 08:48:37 pm
I just wanted to quickly make this topic to get feedback on any problems that you find with the site or any ideas you have to help with the site. We can discuss these problems or ideas and see if we can find a solution or a compromise.

I am not a mod.

If you seriously want to be one, just send a mod one of those applications. A serious one this time.

My karma says -69  >:(

What happened again that actually caused that?

I won't mention the stuff that has been mentioned already but some of the useless boards. Especially the Wii Unite Clan one. Is that still in the works or being used anymore?

This is a serious topic which is why it is in Feedback and not ASE.

Add you on what, PS3?  I don't own one.  Most of the members here are also pretty busy with life, but I think the PS3 players are more active than the 360 ones for the most part.

I'm on Internet Explorer right now. So is there anything specific that happens when you use it? Because it works just fine for me.

I have a complaint about the mod application system too, they only accept serious applications.

That's probably just a problem with IE.  It is unquestionably the worst commercial browser in this day and age.

If I was a mod, I'd totally investigate further into this issue. As part of my campaign, I'm trying to communicate with the average poster and understand what I can do to improve their time spent on Wii Unite.

I'm already trying to do this. I just need more information. And there are some things that mods can't do so you won't be able to do it all on your own. Maybe you can voice your "problems" and I can get them through to the other side.  ;)

Firefox, I also tried it on my ipod and that's safari.

But I love dogs and umm.......


Anyway about the sig problem, I'll have to see if Turbo knows anything about this. I can't really do anything technical because I'm just a mod and I don't really know any codes for the site. Hopefully he gets my signal.


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: Turboweasle on November 08, 2012, 11:31:23 pm
This has happened before, for whatever reason.  There's not really anything I can do to fix the problem as it's server-side, but, Autumn, if you PM me (or post here) what you want in your sig I'll put it there for you.


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site

Are you guys putting HTML code in there or something?  I don't see any reason why it would give that error.


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: Autumn1194 on November 09, 2012, 09:21:25 pm
Well I tried to put song lyrics in my sig but I think there were too many words or something.


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: The Krazy One on November 09, 2012, 09:47:44 pm
They probably kept hitting the character limit for their sigs if that's the case.


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site

Ahhhh... oh okay. I'll make sure to stay at the limit.

^ this.  It seems to only be on my PC, too.  The phone browser seems fine.


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: Turboweasle on November 10, 2012, 09:44:54 am
Well there is more sites added everyday and that tends to slow things down and I took over a bunch of other forums as well.

Add on top of that probably 50% of the traffic I get is spam bots which also greatly impacts the sites performance and there is no good way to block them.



There's the reason.  You decide if that's acceptable.

Post by: Turboweasle on November 12, 2012, 09:39:06 pm
So not to nitpick, but your question was answered literally two posts above you asking why it's slow, Autumn.

Well there is more sites added everyday and that tends to slow things down and I took over a bunch of other forums as well.

Add on top of that probably 50% of the traffic I get is spam bots which also greatly impacts the sites performance and there is no good way to block them.



There's the reason.  You decide if that's acceptable.




I just really had to point that out.  :P


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: Autumn1194 on November 12, 2012, 09:42:55 pm
noooooooo I wasn't asking why it was slow ): it wouldn't even load at all, it said firefox cannot connect to page, please check your network connection. -_-


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: Turboweasle on November 12, 2012, 10:11:42 pm
That's what happens when it's too slow and connection times out.  Just means it's very, very slow.


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: Turboweasle on November 13, 2012, 12:40:17 pm
Load times should be better now, thanks to SMF addressing some of the larger spammers.

How long was it like that, Tiger?  It's been fine for me.

It was like that for me for a while this morning too, probably 30 mins or more....brutally slow. I clicked a topic and walked away to do other things because it took so long...


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site
Post by: Turboweasle on November 20, 2012, 11:36:37 am
I guess SMF was dealing with heavy traffic or something.  There's no mention of issues on the support forum, so I'm not sure what caused it.

If it's better now, though, that's what's important.  Hopefully it won't happen again.


Title: Re: Problems you currently have with the site

Sounds like your browser's having trouble playing embedded stuff.

What browser do you use?

What's your download rate from your ISP? (Go to speedtest.net (http://speedtest.net) and check if you don't know.)

It's working now, but I still am missing part of my signature.  It's just something from a site that shows my Gamertag/Gamerscore.  Their site might be having issues.
