Still very slow to make a post, from here...
From sitecloud response, I argue it must be a quantistic effect that stretched the time variable

Hmmm i dont know Scrat, sounds like the Flux Capacitor is on the way out to me. Or maybe the 'Cloud' has shrunk due to global warming.

Regards

Response is quite reasonable for me.
Beats me what the problem is, although sitecloud are only new and have been ironing out kinks in their cloud system from the start, having to resort to changing from Amazon to a new service provider.
I don't know if it's just more quirks in their system that need ironing out, or if their pipe or resources aren't big enough somehow?

Hmm. It just took over 20 seconds to post that message and get me back.
MUCH slower than other Simple Machines forums I'm on that are typically in the order of a few seconds.

I've switched on the "Use a persistent connection" option for the forum, let me know if this makes a difference.

Dave.

I have just posted a message and it seemed to be much faster.

Opening up this to post the above took about 10 seconds

Speed looks to had be restored , since my other " nag " post ..

But time will tell .

The average respond time of the forum at my end are about 7-8 seconds .

DJPhil · « **Reply #32 on:** January 04, 2011, 11:09:28 pm »

Slow speed and dropouts appear to be repaired here. Looking good!

glossywhite · « **Reply #34 on:** January 05, 2011, 12:40:02 am »

Yes, it's often verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slowwwwwwwwwwwww

EEVblog · « **Reply #35 on:** January 05, 2011, 03:04:47 am »

There has been a big outage for the last hour or so, not just my site, but Sitecloud's "cloud" by the looks of it.

Back up now and seems lightning quick... *press POST"...

orbiter · « **Reply #36 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:12:47 am »

Things seem to have improved a lot in the last day or so Dave, dunno whether it was that 'persistant connection' button or what but the site is quicker now.

Kiriakos-GR · « **Reply #37 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:45:58 am »

Well its known that ping traces can not tell much about the server handling ability.

Even so , this moment that the server looks to operate normally , I will post an picture ,
of how the ping looks from my end .

The connection between Europe and US looks to have issues , doubles the ping time.

EEVblog · « **Reply #38 on:** January 05, 2011, 12:45:36 pm »

It's really flying at my end now. Quicker than when I flicked the persistent connection flag.
So I think sitecloud have fixed something after the big (unknown) server wide outage today.
Let's hope it stays that way.

Dave.

Kiriakos-GR · « **Reply #39 on:** January 06, 2011, 02:08:21 pm »

I got an error 503 today .... an total black out of the service .

About two hours back ..

I checked the with trace route , it was the same readings like the above.
And so its not the lines , its the server that stopped handling the requests.

Mechatrommer · « **Reply #40 on:** January 06, 2011, 02:20:12 pm »

after post... halted, even several times refresh attempt this couple of days. but onyl sometime, not everytime.

RayJones · « **Reply #41 on:** January 07, 2011, 02:17:45 am »

Yep was typing up a reply earlier and no communicado upon hitting submit.

I have gotten used to copy and paste when using these forums, expecting a death roll at any time :-(

EEVblog · « **Reply #42 on:** January 07, 2011, 04:09:26 am »

As you've probably notices, we are now back online.
Sitecloud said the problem was with the datacentre at Singlehop.

Dave.

orbiter · « **Reply #43 on:** January 09, 2011, 03:34:16 pm »

I think we have problems again Dave? EEVBlog has been awfully slow again this afternoon.

slburris · « **Reply #44 on:** January 12, 2011, 04:03:57 am »

About 8:00PM PST, Jan 11 2011, seeing very slow responses and I'm getting:

500 Internal Server Error

as well. Anyone else seeing problems?

Scott

Kiriakos-GR · « **Reply #45 on:** January 12, 2011, 04:09:45 am »

Yes the Hosting server has issues again.

Problems from my end too.

DavidDLC · « **Reply #46 on:** January 12, 2011, 04:11:43 am »

I'm in PST and the forum is really sloooooowwwwwww. And have been notice lately this website is not in good condition (ill or sick)

PeterG · « **Reply #47 on:** January 12, 2011, 04:19:57 am »

This is the worst i have seen it. Never seen it this slow. I think Dave has found the most unreliable host ever.

My 2 cents thrown in...

RayJones · « **Reply #48 on:** January 12, 2011, 05:32:43 am »

Slower than a whetstone

EEVblog · « **Reply #49 on:** January 12, 2011, 05:45:26 am »

It's getting ridiculous.
I'm seriously thinking of moving back to my old Hostmonster account. Pain in the arse to do though.

Dave.
