Site Work in Progress - 2018

[Son of Hobbes]

Update 4/4/18

Started work on revising Site Terms of Use. Cleaning it up, adding some things, simplifying some things.
Started work on a brand new, Privacy Policy for AFN, which will detail hopefully most information/privacy information that may be of concern to some members on the site.

My goal is to also create a "laymen" versions of both of these, giving a simple-man's version of what everything means, so you don't have to be a lawyer to understand the TOU or PP.

Hi my friend
Good job. I got a fix idea.
CBD is more and more popular. A own section as a subforum would be great. The best would be in the medical section.

Just a quick idea.

A "Test" section/sub forum for folks to test thier profile changes etc.

A self exclusion section. People will be people and a link to a break or the usual help avenues would be a credible thing?

Is the site currently having issues for anyone else?
I am finding it extremely slow to load over the last few days.
Everything else I do on the net is fine. Just here that has got a LOT slower - 10+ seconds per page.

I just ran a speedtest and got 96Mbps down and 20Mbps up, so it's definitely not on my end,

No speed issues here. We had another staff member report some quirky stuff but nothing we've been able to replicate (and not speed related.) I removed the background image from the forum this last week, that actually speed things up a bit (it wasn't an optimized image.) I'll see if there are some optimization/tweaks we can do to freshen things up though.

Are you noticing it in general or in certain places?

What browser are you using? Tapatalk?

@Boradan we also have a server upgrade coming (it's a matter of setting the date to get it done, everything else is already paid for and in place,) which should give the site a very nice speed upgrade (and way more storage, hoping to increase our image quality and size for the forum.)

It's in general.
Only started 2 days ago.
I tried swapping to google's dns servers and no change.
Sort of has me baffled as it's the only site I am having the issue on, and if nobody else is getting it...
Tried 3 browsers and all the same (Chrome, Firefox and Opera).

Here's a test I ran (good site to check stuff on)
https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/ciPbS9...reads/site-work-in-progress-2018.63947/page-5

That is checking page 5 of this thread.

When I refresh this page, it takes approximately 15 seconds to complete

Yikes! I just refreshed the page and it took maybe 1.5 seconds max. Let me do some research to see if there's a caching issue or something going on; we had another user in Europe report the same thing awhile back but he was literally the only person reporting the problem and we weren't able to replicate it. Have you tried another device like a cell phone or laptop? Is it device specific for you?

hmmmm.
Works fine on my mobile using the same wifi connection as my main computer.
Now I am REALLY baffled.
If you ask me if I restarted it, I will channel my inner Northern Ireland and do a Liam Neeson on you

And NOW, it took less than 2 seconds to refresh this/go to another page
