Just people giving excuses to artificially increase their post count :P

They just have to be more patient and let the forum do it's thing. I haven't had a single double post (sounds weird, don't it?) so far. But yeah, there is a noticeable lag (10 - 15 sec) while posting.

I'm lagging just trying to read the board. I've been using the F5 key a lot more than normal due to timeouts and 504 errors.

Haven't had anything double post, but then I don't post that much. Posting does take 20+ seconds though.

I will echo the others though it has only been the last few hours I have been getting the 504s. I even had a search fail on me earlier* though I do not know if that was if you enacted measures (it was after you noted this topic).

For the past few days (maybe up to about a week though I was on lousy connections for the week prior so it might have been longer) what I imagine to be the database access stuff has been a bit slower -- things like posting, getting alerts, editing posts, doing the moderator bit up to and including simply selecting posts sometimes sees me get more posts selected (if I select 2 I might get 4, it might also still tell me I have two selected even if I merged the posts or something). I have made a few double posts but most of those were because the posts did not automatically add and revert me and it sometimes takes a full page refresh (control and f5) to find out I did actually succeed in posting.
I have had to sort an increasingly large amount of double posts as well.

A couple of weeks back it was not instant but definitely blink and you miss it.

*I do not know if it is because I am staff or what but I have no time limits/cooldown times on my searches and I can search for nothing but restrict by member name.

Quite a bit of the internet feels lagy. Speed tests show I have good ping and speed but certain sites like ebay and the temp are bogging down. Even google searches feel a bit slower than normal.

For me when I post, that little icon in the top right shows, and then it will disappear without my post being posted, it'll still be in the quick reply.

I go to the main forums, go back to the thread, and then it shows my post being posted.


Also I get no alerts when people reply to me or send me a PM.

It seems like the problem is gone here, pages load really fast now ^_^

Posting goes really slow though. Had to reload the page to make my post appear.

Yeah. The site has been mucking up for me as well. Got a 504 Gateway Timeout earlier as well.

/sob

Took 10 minutes for this post to go through. Sheeeeeeeesh! And I've been seeing double posts all over the 'Temp.

Possible solution: stop using Ajax (or whatever equivalent is used) to handle quick reply submission. (Do a full post back). When people see the page still loading, they don't think the request was dropped and press the button again.

Edit: This was unintentional. Really.

The 504 server error I've gotten multiple times today might have something to do with it. Any leads as to the root cause?:unsure:

The server has been as laggy as hell when posting or liking posts. What the hell's wrong with this site? 504 errors, lagging posts, this is getting weird :blink:

EDIT: GRAH


I know, right? The server's been sucking hard for a while now. Posts take me 10-15 seconds to post, same with liking, and 504 error are common. It shows the little loading icon on the top-right corner, then disappears. I press F5, my post is magically there. WTF? It ain't my connection, and since I'm on Ethernet, I've been getting 15 mbps (which is good for a college apartment complex)

I honestly haven't had too many issues, although posts do take some time to show up after I click post reply.


EDIT: This post just took me 23 seconds to load.

EDIT2: And another 34 or so to save changes to the edit above.
