Severe Updating Lag
Feb 6 2011, 6:42 AM EST | Post edited: Feb 6 2011, 6:55 AM EST
The issue of the servers lagging in updating is here again.

Making changes to a page or posting a thread is almost difficult to tell whether you are on the slave server or the master server. The best way to determine this is to send yourself a message. The message count should appear in your inbox button. That will be on the master server. If you do not see the message count as 1, your are on the other server and keep refreshing until you see the count of 1 appear. Then you can edit or post. Otherwise it can give you double posts or no posts at all or even better will bring you to some off topic search result page.

I have said this so many times and have had no reply. I live in Australia. And for some unknown reason, between 7 pm and at least 10 pm at my night time, all postings take from 5 - 20 minutes to appear. Last night one of them didn't show up at all so I gave up waiting and turned the computer off. The posting was there this morning though. Today, everything is slower. Do you find this valuable?

Sorry, CD I don't understand where you see these numbers (1) if you send yourself a message. Are you talking about the number that says how many messages are in your inbox?

Happening to me to, though it hasn't effected me much. The worst was when it took about 7 mins to show up, but that was the worst of it.

It seems there is a rogue server that isn't working properly all the time. Do you find this valuable?

O.K. at 20 to 8 pm Australian time, it took 9 minutes for a posting to turn up on one site, and about the same on another site. A third message on another site took nearly 1/2 an hour. Yet, before that time, most postings were fine, mostly a lot faster. Do you find this valuable?

Thats good, but you probably aren't on the sites at the same time I am, as we live in different countries. I have heard back from Jeremy and I'll get someone to check out what he suggested. Do you find this valuable?
