I've noticed an interesting difficulty on the site - it's minor so isn't hugely impacting, but I thought I should see if anyone's having the same problem.
When posting (I use Firefox and haven't updated to the latest build yet on my desktop (Windows 7), but my laptop which does have up-to-date Firefox but runs the latest Ubuntu build has the same problem), it'll take 10-20 seconds for my post to finish processing - but I experience no noticeable lag when simply browsing the site. Is this a problem for anyone else, or just me?
Also, as another brief aside, I still can't get Chrome to let me log in, even when I created a dummy account to try. I get the message
QuoteYou were unable to login. Please check your cookie settings.
, but not sure what to do there - I know this was explained to me before, but it didn't work and I can't find it since it was in the shoutbox.
I hit the same snag yesterday. I didn't pay attention this morning, though. Let's see if it's still there....~click~
[EDIT]
Nope, my posts are instant, again. I use Explorer and Windows 7, fwiw.
Since I came back I've had this "problem". My edits or new posts take about 10 seconds to happen.
I don't mind though, personally.
I got XP with Firefox.
It seems to be affecting me too, particularly with big posts, I think. Not a big deal, but perhaps worth noting...
EDIT: I'm on Vista and Firefox.
I've been noticing it happening occasionally for me. Not exactly sure what's up. I'll sniff around and see if I can figure what's going on.
As an aside the posts themselves process almost instantly it's just that loading the thread page is taking too long. If you get this, wait a few seconds then click the home link. You should see your post in the recent posts as the latest post even though you didn't wait for it to load.

I've just noticed this - thanks for the info!
Post times are probably slower for me now than they were before. At best, they're the same. Also, that green "Loading..." bar when I quote something freaked me out the first time.
I've done some optimization to the database. It seems to have helped a bit. We're still getting some slowdowns but they aren't all the time now. I'm going to keep looking into what I can do to completely fix them.
As long as it continues to work, it isn't the end of he world.
