roddy Posted November 13, 2013 at 01:06 PM Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 01:06 PM 1) If anyone has any trouble using the site in the next few hours / days, let me know - I'm making some back-end changes which should speed things up, but equally might break things. Post here, or email admin@chinese-forums.com if you can't. If there are any problems I'll very quickly be reverting to the old set-up. 2) Actually that's all. test 1 Quote

roddy Posted November 13, 2013 at 01:36 PM Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 01:36 PM Ok, I was getting some oddities when editing posts, so I've scaled things back a bit. I'd be interested to know of a) any problems you notice and b) any perceived different in page loading time. In a couple of days I should have some actual numbers on the loading times. For those of you who are interested, I got hold of an invite to Google's Pagespeed service, which both functions as a content delivery network and does a lot of rewriting on the fly to speed things up.

roddy Posted November 13, 2013 at 01:44 PM Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 01:44 PM Personally I think things have speeded up, but posting messages to the site seems a little slower. 1 Quote
muyongshi Posted November 13, 2013 at 02:11 PM Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 02:11 PM It feels faster to this guy... and I voted both of you up, just as a, you know, test... 1 Quote
roddy Posted November 13, 2013 at 02:12 PM Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 02:12 PM Is that via Tapatalk, or directly? I don't think it'll make so much of a difference on mobile, although it won't do any harm. Quote
muyongshi Posted November 13, 2013 at 02:17 PM Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 02:17 PM Via my macbook pro at the moment. I'm "supposed" to be getting work done, but rather, I am enjoying the most comfortable forum I have ever been to. I'm in MY connected through my IPSec with host in LA and the forums really do feel fast!I just kind of assumed such changes wouldn't affect the mobile app but I can check it out if you think there should be a difference!

roddy Posted November 13, 2013 at 05:28 PM Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 05:28 PM Ok, i had to revert the changes as there were problems posting new topics (ie, you couldn't do it). I'm not sure if the problem is completely fixed yet - I can post new topics from other browsers, but not from my usual one. I suspect something is cached somewhere, but don't know what. So if you can't post new topics, sorry, and that's why. On the more positive side, you can still post replies. I'll be looking at this again later, but need to go have dinner now. Quote
roddy Posted November 13, 2013 at 05:31 PM Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 05:31 PM Ok, fixed after clearing cookies for the site (just for the site, no need to kill all your cookies). Quote
Ruben von Zwack Posted November 13, 2013 at 05:41 PM Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 05:41 PM I had trouble uploading a small photo this afternoon. Oddly I couldn't upload it in my initial response in a topic (Asking people to wait), so I posted without photo, then edited my response and attached the file. Each time I clicked on "save changes", I was redirected to the chinese-forums main page. The photo showed up in the end, but quite a while later.Using Firefox. Quote
imron Posted November 13, 2013 at 11:03 PM Report Posted November 13, 2013 at 11:03 PM When are you going to fix the "Mark Community Read" link so it works with a single click instead of popping up the list. Quote
roddy Posted November 14, 2013 at 01:59 PM Author Report Posted November 14, 2013 at 01:59 PM Soonish. I'm very temporarily stopping everyone from posting new topics while I have another shot at what I was doing yesterday... Quote

roddy Posted November 14, 2013 at 02:50 PM Author Report Posted November 14, 2013 at 02:50 PM Humph, more complicated than I thought. Fixed Imron's thing though... Quote
chaiknees Posted November 15, 2013 at 12:44 PM Report Posted November 15, 2013 at 12:44 PM During the last days the site is hardly accessible from within China, at least here in Shenzhen. It loads extremely slow, several minutes, sometimes not at all. Quote
