    Yes, the new software is slower. I'm looking into optimising the server to speed things up, but it's unlikely to be as fast as before.

    Re: Feedback on new forum software

    Thanks for the confirmation..
    I still wonder why I'm so slow..
    Hopefully I hope you can do something about it as I find it not user friendly if we waste this time on this opening and reading threads..

    While trying to do a search just now, I got the below error message, and after a few tries, it is still the same error.

    You should click the back button on the browser to go to the previous page, then press F5 or click the Refresh button. It will be normal thereafter.

    Re: Feedback on new forum software

    Hmm...

    Masking effect
    - Click Forum >> Menu Links (Click Forum Actions) >> Edit Profile (Masked out)
    - same like above, Menu Links (Click Quick Links) >> View Forum Leaders (Masked out) ; Basically 3rd submenu always masked out due to layer.
    Suggestion: Move some hyperlink to the top right hand menu bar. Or edit the 3rd menu bar to incorporate by shortening submenu to 2 items.
    Fellow forumer Quick bypass solution: Click on any messages/forum grouping, you be able to access the feature. So long you are not at Forum main page.
    Cause: Newest Images from AquaticQuotient.com Photo Gallery overlay feature.

    Missing Tank/$$/Wattage Calculator
    Suggestion: Place it beside iTrader where it is visible and accessible.
    Personal Remarks: Although this type of calculator can be calculated via MS Excel/Cal, a flash apps. that is already well-built is worthy to remain in place to help fellow forumers to "learn/calculate" timely. It is a resentment if it is not being incorporated in the current version of the forum.

    Advance Search Note
    I was trying to search for a book title. Result came out on the each word. So far does not seem to "match entire search criteria" feature. Think will do some search on this tomorrow, see if I can get back with something to bypass or help AQ to built an faq on this. (going to sleep now...bongles)

    Re: Feedback on new forum software

    Vinz/Simon, hope you all be around to pick these up.

    Follow up on the advance search note, seems like as I am digging this can of worm, I found another can of worms.
    - Search is not able to search a 3 letter search string due to design limitations as described in vbulletin.
    - Fulltext search is limited by the fulltext indices. In most forum owners who uses vbulletin, when the fulltext is enabled, it slows down what is already slow.

    Conclusion: Unless AQ have php programmers to modify each and every version, live with it. This is why I did not flag the issue out as red in the first place. By the way, the current most updated version would be 11 August v.4.0.6.

    With that said, the issue on speed loading etc, well, it's design issue where sql statements and database are decentralised. Sad to say, there is only so much you can do.

    Re: Feedback on new forum software

    I would like to make correction to #47 comment that even though it is database decentralised, it seems that there are some parameters changeable to improve performance. There are also requirements on end of PHP, Apache and Mysql version. I follow up to some sites where they have slowness issues and seems like after upgrading, the slow loading issues have improved. The respective programs' version(s) and the parameter to tweet can be advised by vBulletin in their Forum section. If you are interested, maybe just drop by there but you have to prepare your parameter file for posting, quite long.

    aquaiacentral.com using v4.0.6 loading speed is quite fast. Unfortunately I have no info on the bandwidth they are using at the moment. But since NGNBN is coming live soon, hope AQ can also take advantage of it but this is a later thing since there are other carriers who haven't announced the price plan yet. I think immediate thing to do is for AQ to seek advice from vBulletin. Hope this helps.

    Which browser are you using? I don't have this problem with IE8, Chrome, Firefox 3.5 or even my Android webbrowser.

    IE 8, no special stuffs. I think it maybe account settings wise. E.g. if you create an user account instead of using admin account (level differentiate) or when 2 account settings differs from each other.
    Its not serious, you just have to make sure you are not at Forum Main page which is
    http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum/forum.php

    Other pages doesn't seem to be affected.
    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    Back to my previous feedback, I do hope you can bring back the calculator that you created and that Bio-load simulator thingy.

    I used IE8 logged in as non-admin. The menus are not masked.

    Re: Feedback on new forum software

    Blue Whale,

    Some browser extensions and plug-in's effect the way the pages are rendered. You may want to try viewing AQ in IE8 with extensions/plug-ins disabled. Have you tried viewing the page using other browsers? Do you get the masking effect?

    Will be good if you can post a screen cap, to ensure that I am understanding your report correctly. Thanks.
