New Server Comments/Bugs

[admin]

The new server is up and being hosted in the cloud on a Microsoft Azure cloud platform using a Linux VM (if you were interested). The speed on my machine appears to be about 5x faster than the old server.

What doesn't work:
The digest and email are still in progress.

What should work:
PMs will work.
Speed should be faster than the old server.
photos are fixed
avatars are fixed

Post any comments or bugs.

Speed changes: This current speed is the time to refresh a typical page 0.019 seconds. The old server was 0.059 seconds so I'm thinking this is about 3x faster.

Actually, this new version is a lot slower for me, I get the little wheel turning for about 5-10 seconds before the page loads...Is it just my system or is it same for most?

I'm still moving a lot of files and the CPU is running 100% until all the photos are re-arranged. It will get better.

All the photo files are in place. Please report once you've had a chance to try a few pages.

View your posts gets a "general error"

I see that. Mine is working so I will try to track it down as soon as the email is working. Thanks.

edit: It is a known bug connected with the latest database software. Looking for a fix...

.04 of a second extra speed may not sound like much but....
At cruise I’ve moved 20 feet in that time.
I used to have the laptop in the back seat to get messages, now it works up front.
Thanks

Mike, the issue of general error was fixed and I tested the same command with no error. If you see an error while clicking on searches please report back here with a screenshot if that is possible or show how to replicate the error.
