Andrew Dwyer Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Unfortunately, very sluggish, almost unusable, constantly having to log in on the Connect app.Looks like attempts are being made to reduce the backlog with older bigger threads being closed and new ones opened.Great shame as in its current condition many posters are surely losing interest, me ? , I’ll continue to struggle on connecting.Thaivisa has given me many laughs, good advice and a great deal of entertainment over the last few years, I owe them my support.

A non IT person does not have to understand Con Queso but the so called techs at thaivisa should. Actually its high time to fire then and do some headhunting at the other forums that do not have intermittent problems and counting. My original comment was meant to be a subtle way of bringing this to the attention of the folks that run this site....... "For the non-tech (IT) minded amongst us Con Queso, does this mean that much more work is needed on the website to bring it round to a more "user friendly" state??" And a non IT tech I didn't understand much of the findings, but was VERY aware that something was wrong. Also agree that the TV techs should know that much work is needed here.

metisdead Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The Tech Doctor has been banging his head on the wall while trying to get answers from Invision about some of the forum problems, time outs, and the following is my translation: Quote We were advised by Invision that "due to an excessive amount of PIDs, there is unfortunately some inherent issues with topics that span hundreds and thousands of pages. We always recommend, at some point, closing the topic and starting another. We realize that's not practical in every case, but unfortunately, because of pagination and other considerations - large topics are not ideal and degradation should be anticipated." I didn't know what PID's mean, not sure if this is applicable: PID controller Some members may have noticed a number of topics that span hundreds and thousands of pages have been closed in our effort to clean up this problem. One of the problems might be the huge amount of email notifications that those topics generate causing some of the forum problems, it is still an ongoing process.

But how do the major websites such as the BBC, Facebook, Google, Gmail, Yahoo, Bangkok Post and so many other major websites manage to deal with it? They generally have far more posts but I have not yet noticed any slowing of their websites. This is just a small website with limited members and IMHO since the Nation took it over the service has gone downhill as the nation seems to be trying to squeeze as much income from the sponsors as they can whilst ignoring the posters.

I doubt those sites hold posts and topics as long as this one does? (Gawd knows why) but a quick look at the forum page and just the first few there are 6.6 Million posts !!! Why ???

If reddit can handle their users, i don't see how it's a technical limitation Maybe the incoming 5g internet will help thaivisa become usable again.... ????

cyberfarang Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I have been experiencing problems with TV for weeks. Click onto TV it doesn`t open or opens to the blank page part and then just hangs there and eventually times out, also receiving that 502 error page. When this happens it usually takes 5 to 10 minutes before being able to access TV. This is happening several times during the day and night, including today. Not complaining, only giving details of my TV access experiences over the last few weeks. I`m sort of getting used to this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Would it a be a good idea to clean up some of the very dated clutter such as long inactive members and very old posts and other stuff that is just taking much needed space on the servers, and also limiting very long chained topics and subject to the medium and recent posting....

With content being king down in the monetisation dept, I guess theirs no need to apologise to its producers when they have difficulty posting it.
