Site changes - Webwiz optimisation - V3.2.1 [Archive] - Saxperience

9th February 2006, 06:54

A number of changes have been made to the site this evening... some minor, but some major.

More changes are planned soon... some cosmetic, some performance related.

Have you noticed any changes?

=======

update

=======

The last two evening some major edits have taken place, with the primary focus of reducing server strain during peek loading periods.

When the site was originally coded, it wasn;t built to handle 50+ members online and umpteen guests...

You may think some pages are still slow - this will be solved completely in V4.

The recent edits are to help the current server/site along the way.

Some pages load approx 50% faster. The forum home page now loads approx 15 times quicker!!

Changes are happening all over the site, so you'll just have to bare with me

There have been a few errors knocking around this evening as I am editing the site live... which isn;'t the most ideal, but hey-ho smileys/smiley17.gif

You should notice that forum page load times are dropping!

And YES, I know about the multiple username thing on occasion in the users online bar... I'm going to be looking at that shortly.

General feeling - Can you see an improvement in forum speed??

Some characters are filtered and replaced. Brackets are non-std symbols for filenames.

10th February 2006, 16:19

Ah right ok, Is that a case for just this site? Because i can post on other forums fine?

Like I said - brackets are filtered.

Youve used spaces in the filename also, which are replaced by '%20'.

Avoid non-standard characters and you wont have a problem on any site.

In the good old days, Windows wouldn;t allow you to use a space in a filename, etc... things change.

Clouds_mate

10th February 2006, 16:27

just notice after images/

its putting a space before the gallery which isnt correct

There's a reason for filtering invalid characters. If 'other' sites choose not to do this, then that's their look-out smileys/smiley2.gif
