Forum too slow

mdPartnerNL

Hi administrator,

The forum is getting slower and slower by the day and you are loosing visitors.

You have the same problem as a customer with a large NAV database

My 2 cents, to fix this:

1.
Create a archive copy of this forum db.
- delete all new forums

2.
In the live forum db,
- delete all old forums

and give us a link to the archive forum (so we can search)

I'm just curious: how did you determine that the site is losing visitors? And how did you establish that this is due to slowness?

Let me tell you a little bit about our plans.

The site mibuso.com exists now for 15 years (the domain mynavision.net was registered in June 1999). Except for the forum, all website pages were custom-made and handcrafted by myself. Technologies used are IIS (webserver), MySQL (database), ASP 2.0 and PHP (web pages).

The previous months, I contacted some web development companies to make a quote for a new website for mibuso.com. The idea is to build a new website from scratch using current modern web design standards and technologies. All (or most) data will be migrated to this new platform. As the forum is nowadays the most important and most used feature of mibuso.com, it makes sense to treat this differently. The new forum will be outsourced and will be hosted externally by a company who is specialized in housing large-scale forums. This will improve response time dramatically. Needless to say that all (or most) forum data will be migrated to this new platform, and that all existing forum links (e.g.: those visible in Google search results) will continue to work.

I now have signed the contract and this project will start mid August. The go-live is foreseen for January 2015.

In the meantime: enjoy your holidays, keep posting on mibuso.com and don't forget to register for NAV TechDays 2014.

Good news!

But what worries me now, that we will experience the same slowness at least till January 2015 .

Maybe there is something that can be done before, to make forum work faster for this half a year, now it is disaster?

Can donations help somehow? I will die waiting half a year

Any info on this?

I still look thru active topics but not daily but weekly. I do not have any problems with an old and new forum..

The performance is still very bad. Is there any new information about this Problem? [-o<

This Friday I have a meeting with the designers to talk about a go-live date. Looks like it might happen in one or two months...

Looking forwards to this, I've been using the forum a lot less the last year or two as it just takes sooo long to load.

Update: September will be used to test the new site and forum. The plan is to go live in october, this year!
