Administrators SCOUTER-Terry 129 Posted July 4, 2007 Administrators Share Posted July 4, 2007 The core components of SCOUTER.com went live all the way back in 1995... nearly twelve years of service! (That dates pretty much to the dark ages of the Internet :-)). I don't spend nearly enough time maintaining the site these days (and I'm very grateful to the volunteers who help)... but did manage a couple of tweaks over the past few days that SEEMS to have significantly improved the speed of the site. Anyone noticing a difference in speed and reduction in "time outs"? TERRY HOWERTON Link to post Share on other sites
hops_scout 9 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yes, Terry, I have noticed a difference the last 24 hours or so. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
beaver1onit 10 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yes! Big improvement in the last 24 hrs. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
hot_foot_eagle 13 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I've noticed a huge improvement. Thank you!. Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 On my ME machine... All of a sudden, I get a Windows warning box to the words of "Do you want to execute scripts?" This is the only site where that happens. On son's Mac, using Firefox... I get the header quickly, but it takes 45 seconds (I timed it) for the topic list or a thread itself to populate.

prairie 10 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Much faster for me and the "Todays Active Topics" is faster and doesn't time out like it used to. Thank You Link to post Share on other sites
Kudu 186 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ditto! Always the acid test: http://www.scouter.com/forums/search.asp?action=today Thanks Terry! Kudu Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I guess I've been lucky to have pretty good speed through it all. Probably limited only by whatever computer I'm using at the time. So I've always been pleased with the site. Thanks, Terry, for all you do to keep it afloat. Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thanks, Terry, for all you do! Also, congrats on being elected chairman of the ITA. The site response has improved. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10 Link to post Share on other sites

Oak Tree 15 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 The response time is dramatically improved. Thanks for the update. Oak Tree Link to post Share on other sites
acco40 95 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Like the rest, vast improvement (order of magnitude) in response time. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 For some bizarre reason, I am envisioning a pythonesque scene of the clouds parting and Scouter Terry decending, godlike, to fiddle inside a tall, blinking lights-type server, and him finally hauling off and kicking it. It starts humming and he ascends back to the skies. Thanks, Terry! Link to post Share on other sites
scottteng 11 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Much better response and no timing out on the today's active topics. Thanks a bunch!! Link to post Share on other sites
Vicki 11 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Much faster! Thanks! Thanks also for all you and your cadre of dedicated helpers do, too. This is probably the best site I've found for all sorts of scouting info (and gossip and hearsay and opinion, too)! and relatively flameless...wow... Vicki Link to post Share on other sites
