posts/likes/editing seem to be going faster now

Glad it worked!

It actually isn't the default. It must have got switched somehow on your device.

Most likely me pushing buttons and turned it off not realizing I did.

My biggest frustration now: When ever I click on the bell in the top right black bar, an ad drops down which obscures my access to the drop down menu there. Granted, new posts can be accessed from the left side of the screen, but the constant onslaught of ads which cover this section of the screen is infuriating.

Thanks for letting us know! Can you grab a screenshot and also let us know which browser / version you are on, and we can work to duplicate it and get it fixed?

@Nifty thanks, if you guys did something to speed the responsiveness up, it really seems to be working well now here and in TEG.

Thanks for keeping me updated on your experience! We've been doing some tweaking, etc., but it's been challenging duplicating the specific issues.

Agreed!

and then back to slow today. how strange...

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Yep...

Thanks for the updates and feedback. There was a spike in server usage earlier today, but besides that things have looked fine.

We're still trying to figure out what could be going on. It's tricky when the issues are so inconsistent!

Often, the problem is so slow that when I type the letters don't appear, then they begin to -- as if I was hitting keys with one finger. So slowed I think I haven't even typed. WEIRD. Not every day. So, could the server be a cause?

i wonder what type of device you are using? i'm seeing no problem like that at all here. i do have a fairly good desktop machine.

the issues i am seeing are that it is slow to post or "react" to a post. this morning i'm counting to 15 (one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two...) or more for some of the things i'm doing.

at first i thought it was only the first "reaction" that was taking the longest, but now i can't make out any pattern to it. some go quicker than others.

i clear the history for my browser each time i shut down for the evening.

my edits of this post are responding quickly enough.

The issues I've seen and heard reported are more like @flowerbug has mentioned and less like the slow key-typing thing. So, not saying that they are not related, but it might also be unrelated.

We are still trying to figure out what the issues are. Fortunately it seems like they are happening less often.

I just wish I could tie the issues into anything specific that happened on / around 11/8, which seems to be when things started.
