Forum very slow around 5:30pm

[flipfire]

Ive noticed its very slow around this time for the past few weeks

Are there any jobs running around this time?

[MWAKU]

mines really slow after 12am. takes forever to load a page, doesn't load at all pretty much.

[wynode]

Is it slow everyday at 5.30ish?

Backups etc run early in the morning so that's why thugs get slow after say 1or 2am. I'll be looking into the latter when I get back from holidays (early January).

[chauster]

Last few nights have been very slow around this time of night.

[wynode]

Thanks for the headsup. I've made a few changes so we'll see how it goes. Won't be able to monitor till I return from holidays but please post back here if there are still issues.

[Bludger]

LOL

thats when everyone gets home from work and has a quick peak though I would think.

Traffic slow down.

just like peak hour traffic;)

[wynode]

Actually this is not to do with that

[Bludger]

Ok so the backups start sometime after 1.30 - 2.00am

How long does a backup take?

I'm sure many users like myself don't sleep and would like to have the privileged of browsing ozhonda 24 hours a day.

some pages are taking 3 minutes to load.

so virtually its a downtime from 1.30 - 2.00am to 4.00 - 5.00am????

I am not getting much luck between these times.

any other explanations or it really does take 2 - 3 hours to backup, every single day.

[Bludger]

still 20 second pause before it starts to load.

so that's between 1.40 ish am to now that its slow to react.

[wynode]

Will have a look at it. But yes, agreed it is a bit too resource intensive and time consuming. Give me a week or two to look into it. In the meantime try and get some rest :)

[integragsi96]

i dont have a problem with it really
it could also be that the ram of the users computer is not fast enough to keep up their opperating system and with the quick loading too...
im running vista with 2.4 ghz duo processor with 4 gb of ram.

I'm sure my computer's RAM loves taking a sleep between the hours if 1.30 & 4.30am.

LAZY ram, anyone know where to buy RAM that keep going 24 hours like me?

[grifty]

i get the same problem with the very slow loading time at around 1-2am aswell.

[Bludger]

The Ram went to sleep at 1.00am exactly.

but it woke up to load this page.

[u mad?]

glad im not the only one, 12am-5am is painfully slow

[grifty]

i was not able to get on between 3:30-4 am

[Bludger]

Any news?

[wynode]

Sorry haven't had a chance to look at this yet. Was interstate and tied up with other things. Will keep you posted.

[Bludger]

sigh.......

[wynode]

Sorry just been flat out and will be for a few more weeks :(

[Bludger]

5 minutes load time

[votek]

yeah after 1am even 12 forum is so slow and thats the time i get home :(

[u mad?]

same^

[Bludger]

ok guys, bed time.

ozhonda will be offline from now till 6am.

[Bludger]

this really is beyond the joke now.

Took me 20 mins to try to post this post here in this thread.

[u mad?]

^this.

[Bludger]

I think they're all mad

[Bludger]

When a problem is ignored, it doesn't go away, it just gets worse.
I think the users, especially the supporters deserve an answer.
We have been more than patient.

I've been a supporter twice. On both occasions, they were 3 year subscriptions. The second subscription ran without a glitch, the first got cut short after roughly 1.5 years when an ex moderator became bonkers in the head and ****ed everything. I never complained, I still want to subscribe again.

Please encourage me.

[Bludger]

OzHonda crashed from 12:50pm for about 5 or more minutes.........

[u mad?]

will donate if this shit gets fixed

until then....

[joyride]

i'm going to stay up late to see if this happens to me.

if this is due to backups running, there is nothing much else to it. you just have to wait it out. if you work nightshift in an office environment, you expect backups to slow down your network. i would not expect anything lessfrom a normal website.
however, if a full backup runs each night and cripples the site speeds, the site admin or webhost should run partial backups instead.

[joyride]

update: it's taking me a few seconds to load pages on the site, nothing drastic

[joyride]

pages are loading a bit quicker.. definitely not going to stay up any longer, gotta get up early in the morning.
i'll test out the site again in the week.

members, please continue to post the problems you have with the website with a date and time when it happened.

[Bludger]

It is majorly slow from 1:30am - 5:30am

you have not experienced the slow yet.

Click on whatever link on OzHonda, the browser will say something like waiting for ozhonda to respond........
It doesn't time out like another site would if the site was down, it just makes you wait for 5 minutes before giving a response and then load the page.

Every single night.

If it's just 1 or 2 nights I really wouldn't care. but it's every night and I use the forums at all hours.

[Bludger]

this page loaded instantly but navigating here, one page took roughly 3 minutes..........

[joyride]

I would get pissed off too. I'll ask the admin whats going on..

[wynode]

As I said above it is noted. I've just been flat out with work and haven't had any time to look into it. Backups are what are causing the problem and I'll look at fixing it ASAP.

[votek]

every day this week forum is slow from 1am onwards. maybe start back ups at 6am?

[Bludger]

still not fixed.

4 months now?

[Bludger]

nearly a year?

[EKVTIR-T]

I thought I was the only one..relieved to see I was wrong but the problem persists after midnight mainly

[Bludger]

Yeah Clint, they're just leaving it.

I mean nearly a year of complaining from members (10 month thread, 22/12/10)

They have supposedly identified the problem but no explanation as to why its taking sooooo long to fix.

Yeah, been busy for 4 months jerking off.

[mocchi]

he must be busy with more important things in his life.
should make ozhonda public. i.e. delegate more staff to manage stuff like coding.

no pay of course, more for people with no experience and use ozhonda as work experience.

[DLO01]

Win is very busy. Unfortunately hes always busy. Got a few things going on atm. I just sent him a SMS to log on when he can.

[wynode]

Thanks Dean for the SMS.

Yeah I've been out of action for a bit due to personal reasons. I'll put this on the priority list.

[EKVTIR-T]

Still doing it after 1am.Becomes very laggy to load/refresh

[Bludger]

I give it a month or 2, rthen check back....

[wynode]

How's things now? I've made some changes.

[EKVTIR-T]

[wynode]

Should be better this time around. Let me know.

[u mad?]

Much better!

[mocchi]

Much better!

[Bludger]

thank you for finally taking some time to fix....

[Bludger]

was a bit slow at times last night.

no where near as bad as it was though......

had to wait 1 minute on 1 occasion.

[Bludger]

back to where we started, 5 min wait times......

sigh......

[Bludger]

This is the 1st night I'm really testing since Wyn announced he made changes for the better......

All is going well.

Thanks again....

[chauster]

Should be better this time around. Let me know.

Does changes mean cleaning spam thread and making sure jrod doesn't?

Btw. Sometimes iPhone tapatalk takes forever to send posts up.

[slimx]

wynode have you looked into CloudFlare ??
It works.

[Bludger]

2 minutes wait time just then..

FTW

[EKVTIR-T]

Yup doing it again after 2am

Refresh new posts hangs for about 10secs before loading

[dougie_504]

I'm doing alright for load times atm, but yeah 12am-5am is death. Hate it when I'm on night duty (like I am now...)

[EKVTIR-T]

This morning was terrible again after 2am. Lots of lag

[Bludger]

why ozhonda why.....

night owl FTL

[wynode]

Backups run from 2am to around 2:30am AEDST so that's to be expected. If there are problems outside these times then let me know.
