Slow Forum and No PM Notices

[Sky Pilot]

Hello all,

For the last four days or so TreasureNet has been responding horribly!!

I thought I need to pull maintenance on my pc, but that's wasn't the case.

I then proceeded to measure the download speed from the site and here are my results: (My connection is 10 mbs)

Average site download speed is 8.91 mbs

TreasureNet speed is: 2.81 mbs!

I run the latest EI version and have no problem watching movies are anything else on the net, but for some reason my favorite site is as slow as dial up.

What am I doing wrong??


Many thanks ahead of time!

I Noticed your post was at 9:08:25 PM Eastern Time.

Mine usually Slows about 8 PM eastern
Not sure when it pics back up.

My guess it's the amount of People who
show up here during Prime Time.

No Idea on your PM Notices

Arn't you getting Emils ?

I personally haven't noticed any speed problems recently, except for possibly my speed in getting out of bed in the mornings....

A couple times a week in the early morning (est) it takes a very long time for the site to load or if i'm already on it takes forever (slower than dial-up) to load a page. It doesn't last too long (5-10 min.) and it is definitely Tnet and not my PC.
I don't know about the PM's other than Marc just cleaned up (last Sunday the 20th) and deleted old ones to free up some disc space. Here is the email I received regarding that-

Hi diggummup,

Here is something to try, ping treasurenet.com when it is running smooth, save results, then ping TN when it is running slow and compare the results. Also do a tracert both times and compare results.

This is test of the routes your pc takes to TN, if there are slower test results when you notice TN is running slow it will have nothing to do with TN, but the paths to it, look for longer times in one of the hops. The only way it would be TN is if the last hop has higher time which is the gateway into TN.

I Have this Problem Between approximately 6:37 AM & 6:46 AM
Eastern
Nothing will Load.

This is like Clockwork & Probably
Something Running an Update or ?

Yep....

Log reporting, log rotation & database backup.

There's not a lot we can do about it.... short of getting a rack of servers.

Perhaps making TNet Charter Member only would help

Hello all,

@ Jeff: Yeah, I considered the prime hour thing also and there are times when it's better. As for the P.M.s, I do receive emails concerning posts replies and personal messages
the trouble is when I log on I don't get a pop up with "You have a new PM!" like before..... And I have never received an update in my post replies about any
posts in the "Charter Member Only" category. Thanks Jeff!

@ Diggummup: That's the experience I've been having also. Thanks Diggummup!

@ Treasure_Hunter: Thanks Treasure_Hunter, I'll do that!

@ Marc: I'm already a Charter Member, have been since right after I joined and y'all mentioned it.

Once again, you have my sincere thanks folks!

Y'all rock!!

You no longer get the popup, the little envelope on the top bar will be green when you have new IM waiting.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!


Well that solves the pm problem Treasure_Hunter!!

I'm colorblind and I'm just not seeing the difference in the envelope icon!!

Well................. I'll just check it every so often I reckon.

Many thanks!! I'd have never known the problem if you hadn't been kind enough to spell it out!!

How about a set-up like IBM use for Watson, as shown on Jeopardy.

[Sky Pilot]

I'm not familiar with that Saturna....

Is that a viable solution Jeff or Marc?

Thanks Saturna!

Richard

[Saturna]

Well, no. Not at present. But like all computer gear, what's the latest thing today becomes outdated junk in the future.

Ohhhh!

Man, that one would definitely do the trick wouldn't it?

Thanks Saturna!

You know what is funny ? Look at the size and speed of that computer it took to keep up with the human Brain !

[Sky Pilot]

Very good point, Daedalus!!

Says a whole lot about the nature of things don't it?

Trouble is, the Charter member fee would have to be $100,000.
