Has the forum server become too slow?

Guyz,
I am facing problems using this forum. The pages open too slow on my 512 kpbs line. I assumed it was some problem with my network and internet connections, but I found that I could load webpages from other websites speedily as the same time.

So anyone of you feel its crawling or am I the only unlucky one?

nope. not me.

me too an unlucky one [ but only part-time

]

I thought it was just me but yes it is indeed slow i think. Even in my superfast office connection the page struggles to open.

yes I am also experiencing the same thing :-(

OH, so it is not me only.

But i face this problem since a few weeks

P

Some time here also slow load of pages. This may be because of under sea cable break.
Any one of u confirm the status of the under sea cable break?

i too..
some times forum refresh rate is more than 25 to 30 seconds on my 512 kpbs bb..

C

Yeah I've been experiencing it too. All other sites load almost instantly while this one takes time.

with no ads and digit's classic theme the forum loads faaasstt

I too facing slow page loading with my 512 kbps connection. Kya ho raha hai Digit ko?
Price hike and now slow servers The disease is killing it.

Sloooow, very slow...

Posting a reply takes ages, loading a sub-forum in a separate tab fails many times...

Been feeling sluggish forum loading for quite a few days. No ajax commenting too. Sucks!

T

Experiencing this since ads were added(Even after blocking all ads/flash content)

Ah hah! So it isn't just me then. And I thought my 2 megs line was proving insufficient all of a sudden for this forum. Entering the movies thread takes a lot of time. Same goes for previewing a post. What gives? Hasn't the underwater cable cut been fixed yet?

Slow for me too...

Me too

Slow here too

Here too

I feel nostalgic browsing this forum as it gives me the fond memories of surfing with D-Link 56 kbps modem (Dial-Up)

Good going Digit.

Time for a forum maintenance i guess... *calling out admins* =]

Slow here too. It takes a lot of time to open threads in different tabs

. i think, digit might changed their server config to low end for their cost-cutting agenda :-D

I would request Digit to post negative reviews in the Feb issue rather than having "I love Digit", "Good Work", "Fanboys" etc in Digit Mag Inbox.
Jow can they say "Digit is India's Best Tech Magazine"? when it clear Digit has been going downhill after the takeover.

Doesn't work that slow for me! And (No offence intended) hark who's talking! rohan's complaining about the server speed while he himself has spammed the forums earlier

.

Its just that the forum gets too much traffic nowadays. As for my case, I only get slow searches, not slow speeds everywhere (I grew up on a 56kbps(actually, 50 bits/s) dialup, so I might not know what to compare to). And yeah, the forum does require some fine tuning, better smileys, working attachments and cheerful people like Fatbeing

. Also, responsible and old members of this forum should stop spamming here.

OFFTOPIC: By the way, rohan, that new avatar is... creepy! ulti mundi wala avatar behtar tha. (just a suggestion)

Slow for me too.

yup me too getting really slow speeds although other sites working fine

Yes. The server indeed is slow! Only the admins can fix these issues. Im contemplating that pruning the forum of old threads should do the trick. Cause it seems like a database related issue.

so many of u facing the problem !! i dunno why but i'm not experiencing these 'slow' speeds as much as all of you guys here...yes sometimes the forum does go slow but not always..

@alexanderthegreat

yeh rohan kaun hai bhai ??? use the username when u refer to some member.... you might know who rohan is.. but there are others like me who dont know everyone by their real names...

So it isn't just for me then. Coz i just upgrade me BB from 512Kbps to 2Mbps. I am not being online for paste few months and when return back and open forum, shocked to see it took ages to open.I just close and open other sites which is not.Anyways the forum needs some fine tuning as said by others.

You should learn from your own signature. When you don't know what is being discussed, you should best standy and watch, instead of petty picking at other members.

@ n3600,
I am Rohan. My previous username was rohan_shenoy.

^oh so you are rohan... lol

Rohan Shenoy changed to victor_rambo!!??? :shocked:

Pfff misunderstandings... anyway,
OFFTOPIC:

Relax dude! As for my signature, I never believed that "You cannot change your fate" stuff, play PoP:WW to know why! Oh, and I clearly stated there, as well as in my signature that I don't mean to offend anyone. THat was just some good light spirited remark (like the one between Yuvraj Singh and Kevin Peitersen). So, feel free to call me a pie chucker, I won't mind

. Didn't you see the three

s? You're facing a change of attitude nowadays, I see. And I didn't just petty picky... thingy, I ALWAYS post ontopic material. Never ever have I posted one liners like +1 and stuff.

I said that it does work fine for me but the forum DOES require some tuning and mentainence because the searches are slow and the attachments and signature images don't work!

Again, I apologize if my remark hurt your sentiments! So end any misunderstandings here please! But I meant that part about your avatar looking creepy

.

This is the slowest of all website which opens in my pc. And most of the time it take even more then half a minute.

Well the same question is there in feedback form in this issue of digit...
but i had already thrown the reply cover so i can't send my feedback

i take back my earlier statements... the forum has gone slow as a turtle since this morning...

other site load wonderfully well.. but this one ... nope. takes ages to load [in comparison with other sites]

yea of course ..the forum has become excruciatingly slow .....and the single page thread are somewat "faster" (relative term..to other threads in this forum) but multi pages threads like "Basic Guide, Movie Recommendation, Post ur purchase" etc take 1-1.5 mins on my 2 Mbps line. other sites open in a flash though ....

Indeed this forum requires some tuning from Admins.

I too face problems on and off

It seems faster for the last 2 days as threads load quickly.

i checked on the net . there is no news it got repaired. but it did not say anythin about internet services gettin affected. it said only the voice services were affected. guess these forum problems are local database issues.

Super slow most of the times, I browse a dozen forums and NONE ARE THIS SLOW.

Exactly, and these guys call themselves "Technology Leader" :lol:

Super slow yaar...it just crawls.
This now explains why we've so many "Automarged Doublepost" or "Posted Again"

If the admins don't do something this forum's gonna die :sad:

, I just can't live without it. It seems the side ads cause most of the problems, I think if the ad server does not respond the forum gets slow(just a wild guess).

Me too cannot live if the forum falls. I don't find anything entertaining in net except the forum. BTW the page opens fine in my 112 Kbps connection.

The downtime fluctuates, it was down all day today but is working OK now.
Who knows for how long.

^^^ Ya you're right. But it is better now.

May be he's or he may be not.

WTF!!! Who is this??

^^^ leave him buddy... don't disclose his identity... he recently got his username and all changed and trying to be a better active member.. so what is the problem with you all ??

^^ Well, IMO they don't have anything better to do and are just bored.

Pulling legs of fellow members is an acitivty carried out by most of the people in this forum for self entertainment.

*sighs* Live and let live.

Edit: Even I enjoyed this very much in the vaibhavtek era, but then, the other guy does feel bad and we shouldn't make fun of him excessively. Once in a time it is okay, but this is getting too much now.

hmmmm? I think it is you who has got BittuMania/Phobia.

He is Biittu, I has the proof.

If I say he's Bittu u ask questions?
If I say he's not, Rohan asks questions?

Matlab, chahte kaya ho tumlog? :-x

Guy's No Offense Meant but Think like a Geek.

The Alexa Traffic Rank for TDF is 8117. This means the forum is in Top 10,000 Sites World Wide. I have seen Google Gives priority to TDF very much and lot's of traffic comes from Google and other Search Engines too.

So it's quite obvious that the forum will load slow or there will be complete outrage problem.

All TDF needs is more powerful dedicated server.

Hope you understands

^ arrey, who cares that he is Bittu or not?

I just want to say, stop mocking him everywhere.

And lets not take this thread offtopic anymore.
