Refreshing the page is slow and often results in a hanging (i.e., pinwheel never stops) page.

I'm now able to use quotes, upload pictures in posts and in the gallery and see much faster response times on my old Mac G4 Powerbook. In my case it is now performing as good or better than it ever has.

Ha! Just tried to post the above words in Safari and it wouldn't post... So now trying Firefox... Ahh well... Overall things are better if not perfect...

This is the fastest this site has ever been. Nasty quick! Thanks. Greg!

Testing 1234 Uploading a Galway picture to test the new server... Extra super good... Yes!

Bravo Sy, Greg, David, Doug... This is just outstanding site performance...

OK Skipites... Time to come back and play...

[dalyduo]

Testing the pics in a previous post and none of them will load...

Still debugging, according to new host the server we were on was a piece of junk riddled with problems, of course that is what I told customers when I took over an acct "Who has been servicing this equipment?"

But I believe it given the crap performance we got from old host. Very close to finishing...I hope...how we doing Sy?

edit - this posted instantly

Just checked again. Last night the thumbnails were there but the pics wouldn't load... Now the thumbnails aren't there either? Teething problems no doubt.

Tis true... Never been this quick before.... Two thumbs up Greg. Wonder why my pictures from the Mondello thread aren't coming up? I see the thumbnail pics in Firefox but not Safari and the pic files won't mount from either platform when you click on thumbnails or question marks?

Pat, are you missing the Daly's Drift portion of the track?

[dalyduo]

Because of the rallysprint event we weren't able to get over to Daly's drift but we knew it was there. Will have to ask Derek about it.

Testing audio attachment. Racecars.wav

Is there a way to make an audio clip play within the forum post, rather than forcing a download?

Edit: post was very quick. Awesome.

large file upload test

rendezvous20_04.mov

[dalyduo]

Uploaded just fine for me.

I'm convinced that 9/10ths of the impact of "Rendezvous" is in the audio track which I believe is totally fabricated for the piece. Turn the sound off and watch it. So much of the visual impact is the low camera angle but when you look at the closing speed on normal street traffic it's not that high... even the pigeons scatter easily. Also all the tire squeal and blipping is impressive but most likely recorded elsewhere and laid in to match the picture. Having said all that... Always love watching "Rendezvous".

agreed, totally fabricated audio. There's a thread around here somewhere where we argued the snot out of that one!

Meanwhile, I'm posting a new poll asking about the responsiveness of the new site, and I'm posting a notice linked to it. It's time for a new post, the last one was from months and months ago!

Missing Avatars

No idea why 9 of us have lost avatars, investigating, if yours is missing and you still have a copy, please use the user control panel to change it, sorry for the gltich

thanks

Fixed! I have no idea what happened, but it must have occurred when we moved servers. I found a backup of all the missing avatars (which were all very old) and uploaded them.

[dalyduo]

Awesome... you're the dude... dude

[Slowhands]

Greg, Sy--

Kudos to you, the guys at Zerolag, and everybody at Juicy admin for creating a superior forum experience for us here at Juicyland (it will always be Juicy to me). the site is blazing fast now.

But I think some bugs are still lurking around. My avatar just reverted to the previous one with no action from me. Sort of like going back in time.

I have also noticed avatars missing occasionally the last couple of days, oldredracer's in particular...

Harsha

[sydude]

A few avatars were mysteriously deleted, so I just had the last avatar uploaded used instead. I have no idea why or how it happened, it's just strange.

Maybe Greg's sleephacking.
