Huh... I can't understand why you are having that problem. When you log into FR do you log in using the "Convenient" setting? I have Windows 7 and never have to log back in unless I do a "window wash" or turn off my computer completely.
Definitely made a difference.
:)
Took awhile, but I was able to get through the Internet cannot open.....stuff, and finally got it done.
Yes, it is working faster for me now.
Thanks for that Jim. I’m just sittin’ here wipin’ the tears of frustration from my cheeks. It’s all better now. I get to have a cookie and some milk.
Thank you for the suggestions!
“HOME/ABOUT Prayer SCOTUS ProLife BangList.......”
Is there away to diabled the keywords as well.
Thanks.
Yup. Disable the Link Banner block.
Thanks p6!
Pinging the Q&R group to an important message from JimRob!
OK thanks.
Done Jim. Thanks!
Thanks, I disabled everything but Breaking News & Front Page News.
I did as suggested and it helped, thanks.
Thanks for the instructions, I have set up my account as you suggested.
Now, I would like to suggest that you make these settings the DEFAULT settings for everyone, since these suggestions will not get out to very many people now.
I suspect that most FReepers would appreciate this action on your part, since it will speed up response times.
Bump for bookmark
This might actually be working! WOO HOO! Thanks!
I did that earlier this week, I’ll try some more Dan
Cache the banners and sidebars that depend on the DB to text files and update on a configured interval. Give subscribers priority bitrate through rewrite rules redirecting the others to the servers designated for general public access.
I’ve found on debate nights that the following seems to be speedier:
For example, I have just read post 100 and the next choice is:
101-187 (Yeah I had it set on 100 posts...),
or “last”.
Asking it to gather the 101-187 posts takes longer than only asking it for the last post, which of course includes 101-186.
It’s like I’m asking it to gather less info...this make sense?
UNIX TRACEROUTE shows some problems with the close-in servers in Milpitas.
Most of my problems are timeouts -- and the fact that Vanman posted the same thing ~ 50 times on the last debate thread (having received no feedback from FR) makes me suspect the problem is data flow outward FROM FR -- rather than internal speed or FR's response to INcoming data...
~~~~~~
But my big surprise was when TRACEROUTE showed FR's DNSs (Domain Name Servers) in Germany!!
Network Tools says: "62.116.181.25 [ns2.robinson-defehr.com] is from Germany(DE) in region Western Europe"
Final hop: 62.116.181.25 25-181-116-62.rev.customer-net.de
I hope that's not some sort of "hijack" going on...
This IP stuff gets weird, sometimes...
