Title: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on February 17, 2018, 21:16:49
I am seeing some lag/delay when making a post. Anyone else?

It seems to have sped up the last day or so here on android.

On PC, yes Fat Rat. The vertical script line is eratic. It gets better after a few words.

You mentioned some gobble-de-gook on my Photobucket posting yesterday.  :shrug:

The snail joke took some time (not meant to be funny here but it is!).

Now it's behaving properly. I think there's a little gremlin somewhere.
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Joe Rocket on February 18, 2018, 20:44:13
You do have a problem Fat Rat. The first few words on a post (it's just getting better now) are slow to arrive. It seems OK now at the end of the sentence.

Also the V-Strom avatar (because some are too lazy to put their own up) is opaque and not like the personalised ones.....like mine!

Each time I log in I have the same slow start get a post going. It's a glitch, if not a gremlin! The activity is restored if I move the screen up and down...........  :shrug:

Thanks, the dim avatars signify the user is offline.

The site is in the process of moving to a new host (the current one being taken over). I will give it until Tuesday, when they say the move will be complete before raising a call.  :thumb:

I keep getting lag/delay now and then, but other times it's OK.

Weirdly, if anything my connection  seems faster than normal.

As I write there is a delay before the letters appear and sometimes when I post I get a Suzuki V-Strom blue screen  for about 20 seconds.

Test post, no problems running Chrome on Win10
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Freddyfruitbat on February 24, 2018, 15:20:12
I've never noticed this lag thing at all before, and was kind of wondering what the fuss was about... until earlier today when I posted, and for the first time, experienced quite a dramatic lag.  Ended up composing my post offline and pasting the text into the 'posting' box.  Fine now though.
Windows 7; Chrome.

This only appears to happen when using Chrome  :icon_exclaim:
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Joe Rocket on February 26, 2018, 18:21:34
Yes Fat Rat, I use Chrome and the problem is still there.  :shrug:   You'll have to find a fix............
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Brockett on February 26, 2018, 18:33:19
It comes to something when I can type faster than the text appears. = still happening
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on February 26, 2018, 19:09:44
Are you using Chrome Dave?

It looks like  JavaScript issue (browser not site related). I wonder if Chrome has updated recently?

Can those experiencing the problem try another browser and post back here?
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Brockett on February 26, 2018, 19:26:30
Yes I am using chrome
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on February 26, 2018, 19:29:54
Can you fire up Edge or IE Dave and see if you still get the problem?
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Brockett on February 26, 2018, 19:32:36
I am now switched to IE and it has no lag. It works a treat  :lala:
So now what?
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on February 26, 2018, 19:59:24
Erm, use IE?  :smirk:

It would be good to see other members results but it does look like a script error.
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Rusty Nuts on February 26, 2018, 20:33:28
Chrome here, on a Win10 pc and android phone . No issues with either
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on February 26, 2018, 20:42:12
Thanks Rusty, I haven't seen the issue on android either.

Could you post the version of Chrome you are using, there is usually a build reference somewhere?
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Graham62 on February 26, 2018, 20:44:56
I'm on Chrome and I've got lagggg. I'll try IE
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Graham62 on February 26, 2018, 20:46:36
Now on IE and all's OK
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on February 26, 2018, 20:47:13
Please post build version of your Chrome browsers  :thumb:
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Joe Rocket on February 26, 2018, 21:00:41
Curiously another Biker site I use over here has a problem too, not the same, but has appeared in the last week or so. That might be nothing/coincidence.

A suspect could be Java script?

Where would I find the reference to latest Chrome version?
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Graham62 on February 26, 2018, 21:02:00
Is this it Fat Rat ? Version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (32-bit)
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Joe Rocket on February 26, 2018, 21:31:19
Graham, where is that located please?
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: mr_diver on February 26, 2018, 22:12:30
Chrome on Android works fine.
Chrome on Windows 7 with SP2 installed works fine.
Chrome on Windows 7 with latest updates lags to hell.
Anyone having issues with Apple or Linux?
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Brockett on February 26, 2018, 22:25:20
Fire up chrome
go to chrome help (select the drop down menu from the three vertical dots under the X TOP RIGHT)
select About google chrome
this takes to a menu that will update the browser.
I've just done this and my pc is no longer lagging in chrome

Version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (32-bit)
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on February 27, 2018, 06:29:31
Mine is also Version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (64-bit). It will be interesting to see the version of anyone NOT having the problem.
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Joe Rocket on February 27, 2018, 09:02:01
Thanks Brocket, found it (although all is in French for me!).  :thumb:

I now have the same version, it updated straightaway. It's behaving better if a little hesitant though.
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: hotbulb on February 27, 2018, 15:15:17
I'm using
version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (64-bit)
with Windows 10. I'll just click "Post" and see what happens  :)
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: hotbulb on February 27, 2018, 15:19:42
That's interesting .... it posted almost instantly, but as soon as I tried to open a "reply" window the site froze. Had to close the site and reopen, poke around a little, and only then finally able to reply . :shrug:
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: hotbulb on February 27, 2018, 15:21:35
Whereas this time, even including a "wildlife" picture, it posted almost instantly, and I can reply straightaway!

Until I can find out what is happening I am using Firefox.
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: NTBooth on February 27, 2018, 22:22:43
yes, severe lag sometimes where I am unable to post! (just throwing this comment on so I can find the thread when I read it tomorrow).

No problems whatsoever with an iPad.

Chrome version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 7

Lagging like crazy, also happens on another forum, a phpBB one.
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on February 28, 2018, 10:32:59
Hmm, it does look like a Windows/Chrome issue. I have been using Firefox for a couple of days and no issues at all. I used to use Firefox all the time, I can't remember why I stopped. I like it!
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Brockett on February 28, 2018, 10:42:37
It's doing it again.
It was alright for a while after I updated chrome  -
       Version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (64-bit) -
Windows 10 on PC
 Not moaning just reporting for the sake of info.

Download Firefox Dave.

OK Guv'nor ...... Firefox is loaded and ....so far...... it does nooooooooooooooooooot lag.
Hmmm! must be a google thing.
Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Brockett on February 28, 2018, 11:23:17
Firefox is super fast at present. Could it be that it will collect oodles of data and slow down in a few days?  Strange though it seems locked into a cycle of downloading umpteen versions. I have just deleted four and now another one is trying to get in. It's like the mop in "the Sorcerer's Apprentice".

Are you still on the case, Google Chrome Fat Rat? Plays up from time to time still.

V-Strom club is the only one mis-behaving.......

Title: Re: Is anyone experiencing lag when posting?
Post by: Fat Rat on March 01, 2018, 21:53:58
Still on the case but it isn't just this site, my research shows it is fairly widespread.

Install Firefox.

There are no issues on my iPad or my pc, Windows 7 with standard internet called ‘explorer’. Sorry you are all having difficulties but it was very nice to see the Panthers and the mention to Pride & Clark’s which was where my dad bought all his bikes. Happy memories.

I've been getting this for the last few days on the works computer with various sites.

At home I don't use the PC much anymore, but it's started doing it also.

A quick search come up with the a youtube video showing how to disable the Hardware Acceleration in Google Chrome.

All now sorted for me.

Removing the hardware acceleration option didn't fix my lag in Chrome.

It's been 4 days and no problems.

Moreover the whole response and use on Chrome is totally changed, quick connections to other sites, instant page changes....really good!  :thumb:

I have a friend who uses Linux and he says he's been off Chrome for a while.....until now and he's seen a real change too.  :icon_wink:
