GoY Update : Performance

Hello all,

We would like to apologise for the slow performance of the website recently. The number of visitors has jumped up dramatically in the last week or so and caught us a bit off guard.

That is not a good excuse. We will be upgrading our servers soon but in the mean time we are having to make a few tweaks to help things run faster.

Hopefully you will not notice most of the changes apart from a faster website, but some things like counts on the tabs on your user pages you will notice going. Sorry. If you spot any problems please do email in.

Cheers,

Ajay and Peter

I'll miss having the number count on my inbox...
Hoping that will be back before too long...
Meanwhile, I've altered my email notifications option... :o)

Ooh er ... I thought nobody liked me anymore as all my favourites vanished from my ' Favourites List' but it's ok as they all came back 10 minutes later. Thought you'd all gone on an outing ! : o ) )

It's the weather Ajay were finally getting out there and see what havoc the winter's done.. then ... help..:0)

24 Mar, 2010

 

Thanks.

Thank you for explaining that Ajay, I join in thanking you for all your hard work, but please reinstate the numbers, on the inbox particularly as it makes it so easy to see if you have any PM's etc. Only a small thing I know but it does help.

I know you are doing your best Peter. GOY is getting very poplular it
is to be expected, that we have new visitors, becoming Members every
day.....Keep up the good work!!

24 Mar, 2010

 

Oh! I do apologize....I meant to say Ajay and not Peter, do forgive
me please! Still it does, concern both of you....

24 Mar, 2010

 

Folks, at the moment we are just trying to make sure the website isn't so slow that it becomes unusable. We think inbox count in particular is useful so I am pretty sure it will come back soonish (though we do have an improvement in the pipeline along the lines of seen/not seen that will also give a unread count on your inbox)

24 Mar, 2010

 

Oooh... sounds a good idea.
Thanks Ajay. :o)

24 Mar, 2010

 

Now that sounds good to me ! Thanks Ajay

24 Mar, 2010

 

Oh yes please ,I like that idea, thankyou Ajay...........

24 Mar, 2010

 

Yes good idea Ajay. Is this why I don't always receive email notifications now? (I know they are now only hourly under the new system)

24 Mar, 2010

 

On the subject of in/outbox counts is there any way PM's can be seperated out? (As if you don't have enough to do, lol)

24 Mar, 2010

 

Thanks Ajay, ;o)))

25 Mar, 2010

 

I miss the counts as well ,thanks for the information and all your hard work.

Ajay. My computer has been crashing today quite a lot in fact and when im on this lovely site everything seems to highlight its self it's annoying. Thought it was my computer. I am sure you will fix it cant be easy so many people on line all at once. everyone loves this site. I dont know how I have survived without it. Wished I'd found it years ago. Keep up the good work.

28 Mar, 2010

 

Well done Ajay and peter you are both doing a good job.

30 Mar, 2010

 

Just caught up with this blog! Thank you both for all you do to keep the site running. The counters are useful but I like Waggers suggestion even more, if that is at all possible.

31 Mar, 2010

 

Like Gee above I've just caught up with this blog! Been busy making up my own I suppose! I hadn't noticed that the numbers had gone AWOL! Nevertheless I find all your work to be very satisfactory & you are to be congratulated in attracting new members to the site!

Hope you are both having a good Easter.
