Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted October 25, 2012 Eurobricks Emperor Posted October 25, 2012 Yes, we have moved the site to a brand new server. This new (dedicated) server is a powerful machine with AMD 8-Cores CPU, 32GB RAM, 4x 1T HD in raid 10, running Ubuntu. Most important, nothing on this server is shared with anyone else, it's all for us! Welcome in our new home! Quote
CMP Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 It's only taken the two clicks necessary to navigate to this topic to see the difference. It's a lot faster, definitely. Quote
Legonardo Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Great! I can see its a tiny bit faster, other than that ( and hopefully no more breakdowns) are their any changes? good job and thank you for making it easier to connect with the online LEGO community! Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted October 25, 2012 Author Eurobricks Emperor Posted October 25, 2012 I can see its a tiny bit faster, other than that ( and hopefully no more breakdowns) are their any changes? Well, we have now also moved to a regime of daily server backups. But nothing changed that would be noticed on the board, except for our board running fast and smooth all time (let's hope these words prove to be correct). Quote
Darth Dino Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Hi congratulations. For now, it is really fast - even on my Ipad. May i ask a question? There is a spam protection delay between two seached. On slower and shared servermachines that is a truely useful step. Butihafe often correct my spellings or typos or Ipad typos (thick fingers) and i had to wait too. Sometimes i had to correct myself 3 times, that is anoying. Can you now pease setup a shorter delay time? Dino Quote

What's the link between the 'wait time' between 2 searches and editing your own posts to correct errors? You should be able to edit your own posts anytime without having to wait... Quote
Darth Dino Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Hi i had to edit my search, not a post. And then i had to wait. Dino Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted October 25, 2012 Author Eurobricks Emperor Posted October 25, 2012 Hi i had to edit my search, not a post. And then i had to wait. Dino I'll look into this, but during the first week(s) on this new server I want to keep things as they are (for comparison purposes with the previous server). Quote
Darth Dino Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I'll look into this, but during the first week(s) on this new server I want to keep things as they are (for comparison purposes with the previous server). No problem. I know i takes so time to figure out how the CPU usage over time is if you had it (the CPU) for the first time just for the forum. I also do not know how many bots are trying to attack the page by generating nonsense searches. When the forum where i am an adminstrator moved to a dedicated server we changed from 20% CPU usage on a shared server (1% has been allowed) to a 100% root server ;) I feel now that could be similar here, everything feels fast ;) Dino Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) I may be saying the complete opposite to the posts above but sometimes when I finish editing a post and I have clicked on post modafide post it freezes and I I have to refresh my page via my browser .

You should buy a new computer, that always works for me And if that still doesn't work, you should replace that thing between the keyboard and the computer, I forgot the name now ... But seriously now: try another browser (anything other than Internet Explorer should do). Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 How fast EB is now after moving to the new server: [/url]Thanks for all the hardwork of the EB Admin & Staff for continuously improving our beloved forum. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 You should buy a new computer, that always works for me It's a gaming computer so its not that. And if that still doesn't work, you should replace that thing between the keyboard and the computer, I forgot the name now ... The lead? But seriously now: try another browser (anything other than Internet Explorer should do). I use firefox. Quote

spzero Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I hope your using lego bricks to store all those hard drives as did google when they started out., :D Quote

I have that as well sometimes when I use Firefox. But never with Chrome! I'm a long term Firefox user which switched lately to Chrome (and I didn't regret that move!). I might try chrome and see how it goes. Edited October 25, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Quote

Flipz Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Hey! We made it without dying this time! Definitely appreciating the extra speed. I've also been experiencing the problem with post editing that Alasdair Ryan has, but it clears itself up once someone else posts in the topic. Thus the solution isn't that we should switch internet browsers, it's that all of us need to post more. Quote
Wedge09 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Thank you a lot for the enormeous work you made :thumbup: Quote
Legofin2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 THX, Bonaparte, wasn't sure if I had to go on a different site.... And do you know when Hinckley will post the results of the "EB is down" contest ? And if he has where ? Quote
Carousel Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Eurobricks is definitely a lot zippier! It's a really fantastic addition. Quote
Legogal Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Thanks for all the hard work of many folks leading us to a better system! Quote
DFOL Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 There's a definate increase in speed while browsing the forums, so nice improvement! Smooth transition by the way, my compliments to the staff! Quote
