Gronzag Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 https://ibb.co/zb7KG2C To me when using chrome, board seems to lag like a video game when ping is high. It takes a moment, maybe half a second, for a page to react to scrolling, clicking etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronzag Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 1 hour ago, Ran said: @Ckram I've always used Chrome, and don't see an issue. Do you folks have any extensions in common? If you use SHIFT+ESCAPE to show the Chrome task manager, how much memory is being used by a tab set to the forum? How about multiple tabs? By way of comparison, this tab where I'm typing right now is at 94MB, and slowly ticking a bit upward because Ajax calls are taking place to keep abreast of my typing and so on. This is pretty normal for a tab. But maybe something is causing you guys to get some kind of runaway memory issue, either an extension or something in the code that isn't affecting me but is affecting others. If you could message me with a screencap of a fresh Chrome task manager with one or several tabs open -- it will reveal some information regarding your extensions, so bear that in mind -- it would be useful. ETA: I should add that we haven't made any changes at all in the last few months to the system. Maybe time to do the long-overdue software upgrade, see if that helps... https://ibb.co/zb7KG2C To me when using chrome, board seems to lag like a video game when ping is high.

Could I ask you to consider clearing your browser cache -- specifically, clear images and files, cookies probably don't need to go -- then restart the browser and try the board for a bit and see if that improves anything?

I just did it and it's all the same. But it's still possible that the issue is on my side, specifically chrome since there are no issues with firefox.

You've probably upgraded to the latest, but if you haven't, try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronzag Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It says that chrome is up to date. Anyway, it's not really a big problem. It doesn't make the site unusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunland Lord Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 On the cell phone it says it's downtime while upgrading the forum software, while on PC works good. Now I don't know if that's what it is or there is some problem only happening to my phone? Not an expert for these things. I was like 15 days oblivious that the forum works until I tried through my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and clear it, or alternatively manually type in asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php and see if that fixes it. The Sunland Lord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I keep getting constantly asked to accept cookies here recently. It’s happened 3 or 4 times in the last couple weeks. Never remember having to do it this much. Using an iPhone with safari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 This has probably been asked before, but how come there is no search function on this site? (If there is, it's incredibly well disguised.) It's really, really frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sourjapes Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Is the 'new' version of the forum incompatible with Brave and Fire Fox? Using either I can't break up quotes when I post. I can't send messages either. I don't like this design. I want a preview button and while I'm at it, for what reason is there no option for me to deactivate or delete my account if I want to?
