Jude, Neil: Just to let you know, I have the same problem again today, that we already had recently - accessing www.head-fi.org with IE5 will produce the usual DNS error page, while it works with Netscape 4.51. Strange...

Greetings from Munich!

I believe this is with all browsers and only corresponds to the main page. Accessing the forums is kosher over on my end.

Everything seems to be in perfect order again, now - thanks for fixing, in case there was any done...

Head-Fi is very sluggish with me in the UK

The ping time to www.head-fi.org from here is 167ms which isn't bad at all... but the forums themselves here appear a lot slower (not that I know how to check... as I can't do a 'Ping www.head-fi.org/forums ~ how do you check??)

 

[guzzler]

yeah, me too... Front page is fine, but the actual forum pages, especially posting a new/reply to a thread is real slow...

It can be slow in NYC also. On the other hand, I got a MySQL "too many connections" error today, so it could be a measure of traffic. I'm not sure if the homepage makes a database hit or not. If not, it obviously wouldn't be affected.

I got this earlier today, twice once when I pressed the reply button and once when I tried to submit my reply.

It sounds like this may all be a consequence of head-fi's popularity. Not the DNS problems, I mean, just the slowness. Actually, I'm posting this in the middle of the night (east coast of north america) or early morning (europe) and things seem to be a lot faster right now.

Neil did some work today that should speed up the forums a bit, like when replying, posting, searching, etc.

We'll continue to work on it from time to time through the week.
