the fact the yesterdays top movers were from Poland, USA, and Germany and the czech republic doesn't come in til 4th says something. Although I havn't noticed that the site's been any faster for me. I just had a lot of time, and played 2 games at once in different tabs on firefox.
ScarletRose: Substantially quicker here, too, in the US Midwest, since about 3-4 days ago. Like many of you, I hesitated to speak up, fearing that it might just be some temporary phenomenon.
Of those of you who have had problems: did any of you make a note of the approximate date when our troubles began? So many of the analyses and helpful suggestions only spoke of computer upgrades, ISPs, geographic locales, browser types...but lost in all of that was the starting date of our problems. I'd have liked to look for a critical clue there...
Antje: it has been faster for me also,but like yourself I was waiting for it to perform at that level over a period of time before breaking out the champagne
the site seems to be working better (faster) the last couple of days.. im almost afraid to mention that in case it changes back again, but some of my opponents (who dont read the boards) have mentioned that as well... i feel like im holding my breath, but i sure do hope it will stay like this, im back to the top (almost) of the list again!! how are the rest of you doing? those that have been plagued by the slow performance, is it better for you all too?
AbigailII: Just delete the email address before posting. It's not mandatory. That's what I do every time I comment (I just wish I had an option to turn it off completely)
Andersp: beside the extra hassle of having to create another account, and going to a different site, there's another reason why people may not want to post a comment at brainking.info: if you post there, your name will link to your email address, something that is hidden from other users at the brainking.com site.
Sujet: Re:Hide the problems and pretend they dont exist is a very smart strategy
Jules: I would hardly think that Filip Rachunek could be classed as, or even compared to a "world government"....in fact in the world of business/government he is a very small fish indeed LOL.....
Hrqls: When you have to watch a white screen more than a minute (thats what it takes me now) for each link you click, then you try to avoid too many clicks.
I've asked for a "Blog comments" board but the answer was "NO"....then other topics dont need to disappear on this board.
NaF: Hide the problems and pretend they dont exist is a very smart strategy :)
NOT a floosie: Well, it does keep it off the main page here where prospective members might see it and change their minds about becoming a member.
Its hard to tell for sure, but you make it sound like that is a bad thing?
Wouldnt someone want to know, and have a right to know, before they purchase a membership, that any problems they may have encountered are inherent in the "system of the internet" and are not "fixable", at least from the Brainking end, and they will likely continue into the future?
Thats why there is a free level on this site, to give someone the opportunity to see if they like it here or not, before they buy into it.
Some might think that any perceived "slowness" might be something temporary, when in fact it is likely a permanent side effect of the internet itself.
I think it would be a good idea to even have a few things posted, maybe on FAQs page or the paid membership page, things like what browsers work best with Brainking, which ones dont, that if you live far away from the Czech Rpublic and you use a slow dial up service and you prefer IE then you are likely to experience certain "problems" etc., these are all important notices for any prospective paying member, dont you agree?
there is a link to an article on the blog site on top of this board. you dont have to search for the 3 links in fencer's post
you can post your complaints in here there are other subjects on this board though which might be buried when everytime when someone encounters a slow connection to brainking posts a message about it ... this other subjects deserve some attention as well
when posting it on the blog site it will be summarized, everyone can get a quick overview and its even easier to see how many people have problems with the connection to brainking (those posts wont be buried by other posts on this board)
i hope its clear now that you can post your complaints on here, but its more structured to post it at the blog site, and other subjects on this board might also come in view that way :)
Andersp: Well, the advantage of ranting on the blog is that you can use a different name (someone elses name for instance), and create an account under that name.
In fact, you could create 500 accounts and have 500 people complaining how slow the site is.
Eriisa: Sure...next time a paying member wants to inform the site owner that Brain king is very slow he/she must try to find one of Fencer's three links, then try to register to the blog and then type the post hoping that at least someone shall see it.
Hrqls: i guess I'm just missing something.... it surely seems to me that the best place to post about the site performance would be at the blog entry that is dedicated to the site performance.
A post would not get over-run by other topic posts as happens a lot on these boards.
Andersp: by posting the comments into the blog they would be collected there and it gives an even better structure .. almost like having a different thread
(i would love separate threads on the discussion boards .. i love structure :))
constructive comments or ideas on how to improve the sites performance are always welcome on this board ..
(of course thats my opinion as the mod of this board, while the comment you quoted is from the site owner on his blog site ;))
Do not use BrainKing public discussion boards for this purpose. in particular - meaningful comments can be posted here instead), Bug me not! or BrainKing site performance again.
Andersp: its allowed to discuss the bad perfomance of brainking on this board .. its definetly about brainking .. and its definetly allowed as you can see below
discussing the internal workings of the chatroom should more belong on the computer board, but the announcement as done below is allowed on here
