No, I think it’s doing a quick, quick, sloooow, quick, quick, slooow. You have to catch it at the right moment. They must be experimenting with connecting & disconnecting various wires 😆 .

It seems that the template was causing the server to fall over. 😕

Sudeep is working on the code to sort it.

But this is how it should work.

Re: UK Whitegoods Shutdown & Upgrade

Okay, we sussed the problem with regard to the speed issue.

You remember the top info box thingybob up there^^^^, well, every time that anyone clicked anywhere in the forums the code for that was doing a search query on the entire database of about 300,000 posts to generate it. This then locked up the server’s CPU trying to display the top ten posts up there, which is mental and we can’t get our heads round why they’d code it like that but then, I don’t suppose there’s loads of site with as much info to trawl through.

So anyway, disabled that and now we’re at the speed we should be at. 😀

Finally.

Can someone try it again please?

I think I’ve sorted it.

Try this……………..

Due no doubt to the central frame location, the right hand part of the photo is missing though. 😕

HTH? 😀

The stats on the photo Ken are : 640X480 64.3kb

If you click on ‘Properties’ you can view the full pic through the host of course. 😀

Re: UK Whitegoods Shutdown & Upgrade

Yeah, I thought that.

Basically it’s cropping the image to suit the preset width of the forum so it all stays tidy.

By my (very) rough calculation on the fly, it looks as if it will always crop any image to a max of 486 pixels wide.

TBH though that’s a good thing as it saves large images sending the whole thing mental.

Re: UK Whitegoods Shutdown & Upgrade

So can you not increase the overall width of the central area? Or will you have to insist photos dont exceed certain limits?
