Have you tried GTP Lite, silviadrifter?
 
Still the same here - extremely quick to load the forums but unbearably slow for the threads themselves. I'd really prefer to use the full GTP rather than GTP Lite, but I'll try GTP Lite and see if it helps at all.
 
GTP Lite is a lot quicker, but two problems:

1. It's GTP Lite! I want to be able to experience all the new features and graphics of the forums just like everyone else can (and just like I used to be able to). I'd much rather use normal GTP!
2. Can't change the text size. I need it small!!!
 
It has generally been alot faster for me today. The ocassional page has been slow but that is no different to what I had with GTP5.

No, I haven't tried it yet. I'm with M5Power.... I want to be able to experience the full site, like I did with GTP5...... I'll give it a try, for now, but I hope we can get this problem figured out, soon.....

Jordan, have you made any headway? Have the techs figured anything out?


;)
 
All the best things require patience, such as

  • -New books form your favourite author
    -Pizza deliveries
    -80's bands revivals
    -Good, honest governments (quick wink to George and Tony)
    -And now GTP6

It only takes a little bit longer thant the old version anyway!
Just like the phrase I manage to use everyday in school,
You put more in, you get more out.

Only, in this case, patience is your currency.

Yes, they solved a lot of the problems, they are supposedly still working on the server, but I have yet to hear from them. :grumpy:
 
I'm fully aware of the mess I made of the listing tool in the post above theabove post.
 
All look and no go, GTP turned into a HONDA!

nah I'm kidding, I like the new version but it needs a turbo kit or something.

A little longer? What are you smoking? If GTP5 was just a little faster, for you, you must have had some serious issues with GTP5..... Me, on the other hand, enjoyed GTP5 at lightning speed (except for a few hicups). [analogy]If GTP6 were in a race, 56K would have passed it a while back....[/analogy]

It's more like a freakin' day and a half--if we are lucky--to get anything to load. With GTP5, I never had problems, albeit except when the server was down and the reasons are definitely obvious. As it is right now, it is slower than 56k, and I like the analogy silvia . . . it was rather humorous. But basically right now, it is like comparing Minardi's speed to Ferrari's speed in Formula 1. I cannot even scroll down a page without it moving slowing; it is as if each time I scroll down the page has to reload. Even viewing the forums is the same way. Every page I have been too has been extremely too slow. Hopefully these professionals can work out these bugs!

It's taken me almost 10 minutes to open, read, and reply to this post.....

Keep us posted, Jordan....

;)
 
I like Minardi. I always support either the underdogs, or the prettiest cars (nod in Renault and Jaguar's direction)
 
There is nothing wrong with liking Minardi, especially if you like watching the slowest cars on the track. But just a couple minutes ago, I switched to GTP Lite to see how much of a difference it would make and what little experience I've had with it is that it is faste, but not as fast as the standard mode was for me when using GTP5. The pages definitely seem to hesitiate to even start to load; it is as if the server is having a problem sending my computer the information I'm wanting to get. [EDIT]At least at times, it seems to be having problems; I am not completely sure if the Lite is a whole lot slower, since I have not used it a whole lot.[/EDIT][EDIT2]Definitely slower, but it really is not too bad with Lite, though I would prefer to use the standard version of GTP[/EDIT2]
 
The site is back upto speed for me. 👍 :)

Whatever those people did to the site Jordan seems to have worked, at least at the moment. ;) :)

I hope it wasn't too much money well spent. :)


When you've recovered from all the stress, (what next Year!) :) and have a spare couple of minutes, could you sort out previous attachments that were in threads.

It's good to have things back to normal. :)
 
Well, for us Broadband people (on the full version of GTP6), it is still quite slow..... It really hasn't improved at all, over the last week... Any word, Jordan, on what's going on, or if there has been any progress?.....

Yes, actually. See this thread. :)
 
GTP sped up for me a ton yesterday; though I would not say quite up to GTP5, but this is only my perception and probably is not right. But GTP6 is great! 👍 👍 👍
 
It's fast again!!! I can use the full GTP6 (instead of GTP Lite), and not have to wait 5 minutes for the thread to load..... Thankyou Jordan... Thankyou very much......


;)
 
No offense, but this site is loading better with my replies and new threads. So slowness has all but eradicated. Unless something out of the ordinary were to happen, the site and its contents are loading better on my computer. I say again, good show, Jordan!
 
I concur...

Things are a lot speedier than before... and the DNS' have been updated in Europe too... so I can see!!

BTW a way to get round DNS problems would've been to publish the new IP address for your site to your members so we could've found you straight away...

Hohoho.

Ahh, nice and fast again.

Props to Jordan again, i'll see what it's like on my cable connection at home.

Exactly what I was thinking.

New server rules Jordan 👍

Each page takes less than a second to load :D

I couldn't do that for two reasons. First, all of the images were broken, and second, you couldn't login. So, I could have redirected you here, but I don't think you would have liked it very much. :)
 
I still find it very slow. https://www.gtplanet.net/index.html took me 20 seconds to load. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/default.stm takes me 2 seconds, tops to load. Jordan, what kind of server is gtplanet on now? Is it on a Windows? Linux? Unix? BSD?

Here's my results from pinging gtplanet:

I've been trying to traceroute to see how many hops it is, but it always times out....

I had some problems when the new server came online, but it is as fast as it has ever been for me.

Has your attempts to connect just slowed down, been slow for awhile or always been slow?
