Aghhhhh!!!!! Fuck the new DU2!!!

[Robin Hood]

It's slow, extremely buggy and I fear that these growing pains will turn off a lot of potentially progressive new guests and old guests. I'm on broadband and I can barely post or get around. This sucks "Big time".

:argh:

5. You're not whinning

It's the truth, this sucks. It's totally buggy. I'll give up the stupid poll feature for stability and a site that works.

2. Yikes! I'm on a slow dialup and it works just fine.......

:crazy:

[Ripley]

7. And I'm on digital cable and IT SUCKS!

It takes 10 minutes to login.

I thought this was supposed to be faster and handle MORE traffic???

Oh well, I'm sure Skinner is working on it. But for now, I'm giving it up, too nerve-wracking and a waste of time.

3. Hate to be a whiner, but...

...I really am having a problem with "can't connect to database" messages and the generally slow performance.

In fact, I tried to post this message and waited for several minutes before it would post. Noticing a typo, I hit the "Stop" button on my browser, fixed the typo, then posted this message.

Sheesh!

[JCMach1]

4. MAJOR can't connect to the database errors today...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DagmarK]

Go to Ask the Admin forum........

There is some explanation for the slowness and bugs.....

Their 2nd server is having some problems........

they are working on it.....it will get better, we just have to be patient.....

Then it will be a STELLAR site!

11. Thanks

I still need to vent.

[xxqqqzme]

6. boy am I glad 2 hear that

I thought my ancient, hamster powered windows 98, pentium II dial-up was dying a slow death! Whew!

[CWebster]

8. Had the same thought

Nothing discourages interactive participation more than ongoing technical problems frustrating online experience. ;-)

[a_random_joel]

Take it easy

It happens. It's technology - it ain't perfect.

[buff2]

9. I feel the same way........

It won't post so you keep trying and then you have 3 or 4 dupe posts. I quit.....I'm going outside and enjoy the sun.

[Robin Hood]

13. There's an idea.

put down the mouse and go out and play... Wheeeee!!!

[boblynn]

22. Slowness

Hi, I found yesterday it was quite slow and I decided to run
disk cleanup & scan disk and it seemed to help speed it
up. For what it's worth. Bob

[SoCalDem]

14. I had a "TWELVER" yesterday.. The record, I do believe

:)

[Ripley]

16. Just checking...testing, testing, 1, 2,3...

Hey SCD that's not "Amber" that's my Zeldar!!!

Love those kitties!

Am I on? Sheesh, I wonder how many posts I'll get out of this one.

:argh:

[EOTE]

15. No!!!! Get back inside!!!

Don't you know what horrible things the sun is capable of? Skin cancer, melanomas, sunburn. Stick around and do some more posting instead, the bugs will be ironed out shortly. Meanwhile, just take some Vitamin D instead.

[Robin Hood]

17. lol..

[Brian Sweat]

10. It is very frustrating

I hope they get it sorted out.

[SharonAnn]

12. They'll work it out. I have confidence. They're working on it.

Now, just wish I had the same confidence in "Black Box Voting" machines and the vendors who build and program them.

[LiberalLibra]

18. I'm on broadband and I am also having problems, am trying to be.....

....understanding though as I know this change over has to be a very frustrating and painfully long process.

[angka]

19. i tried to post a defense of DU2

but i couldn't connect to the database. so that's that.

fix or revert...no one will hold it against them...

[teryang]

20. I'm on DSL and it is working very poorly

Oh, well

:(

[grasswire]

21. broadband here...

....major problems. Can't get more than one page without error message. I hope it's resolved soon! A community like this is a democratic necessity.

[nostamj]

23. it has gotten much much worse

today, on DSL, it is almost unusable. connect errors on every new thread or page...

[NewYorkerfromMass]

It just means they are working on it (Elad)

Elad is currently performing changes. go to bugs/features forum.

24. THANK YOU! I thought I was alone. I just posted down in the "Bugs" forum

that I keep getting this message:

Couldn't connect to the database. Please make sure all the information in dcsetup.php
is correct

I am getting this constantly. And, it's so slow I can barely get around with pages not loading and having to go back and forth between forums takes too long.

What is it? And, I keep getting "down times" but nothing is posted about it from the Adminis.

I'm on "dial-up" and never had any of these problems with DU 1. :argh:

29. Hahahahah!!!

I guess that your dupe post is proof of the buggyness in the machine.

[Bandit]

31. You do make your point ~~LOL

;-) It will get better just have patience

[EV1Ltimm]

28. as a developer i feel for du2.

when it works (which is most of the time for me bwuhahahaha) i think it's far superior to its predecessor.

it's hard during development to predict how an api or whatever will react to having several thousand people sending multiple requests through it at any given time. that's why i thank god i only get 130ish hits a day over at www.bushisamoron.org, or else i'd have to optimize all of my queries, which would take WAY too much effort on my part.

whenever i get the "dcsetup.php" error message on the board i just hit refresh and everything is kosher.

[Ekaterina]

30. I know

I keep having to refresh and refresh just to get back to where I used to be......what's up with that?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

32. Anybody there?
