Is it my imagination? by marsha7

Reposted from "Lost" per kcram...
 
It seems lately that my Edmunds posts are moving slower than ever...I have upgraded my DSL to 3.0, and everything, but everything moves at whirlwind speed...EXCEPT EDMUNDS...
 
I can click on a topic, and it takes forever to get there...I can post to a topic and it seems to just stop in time and take forever to post...
 
Since I don't know much about computers (and even less about law!!!......) all I can tell you is that Edmunds is the only site that has slowed to a crawl in the last few weeks...
 
Anything happening at your end, like software updates or server updates, since I updated at my end...

It seems very slow these days to me as well. In particular, the site is very slow to initially load.

It's all the cr*p advertising that accompanies the content these days. It takes time to collect it all together, format it and then pump it down the pipe to you.

I wish I could blame it on the advertising, but alas, I cannot
 
We are seeing a specific crash wiping out a server every so often and it piles the request onto the other machines. We have the fix in the lab and beating it up relentlessly so that we can get it out and improve the page load time.

A few new items today...
 
1. ---------------------------------------------MORE SPACE--------------------------------------------
 
2. Forum Preferences (for members only) up in the right corner of the page under Forum Tools ... scroll down to uncheck the box Display "Social Bookmark Links:" to hide the lucky charm icons, etc.
 
3. Look right "Ask the Community" shows recent questions related to the discussion you are in that are awaiting answers over in Edmunds' Answers
 
Enjoy!

Changing the country flag in preferences has no effect for me.
 
What is a "social bookmark"?

Country flag option is an old item that we still need to take out of preferences (we used to allow people to show a country flag next to the username)
 
Social bookmark - see the little icons under my post? They allow you to save the URL to the post on other sites where you may keep a collection of favorite/helpful URLs to share with others.

Thanks Sylvia. It's nice to be able to hide those social bookmarks. I didn't see anything wrong with having the country flags... who complained?

Ewww, somehow I knew that was going to happen, because it's not a natural landing point for your long-time contributors, and why should they go there?.
 
I really feel this method is inconsistent with the rest of the site and what people like myself value. You should be encouraging people to subscribe to the proper forums / threads / tracks / communities / what have you and stay, not gun and run.
 
BTW, there's not enough of the link title shown to encourage me to bite.
 
Just one user's opinion.
