Dave,

It is next to impossible to follow games on game day and chat with other fans through this message board. Is there anything in the works to improve performance? Or maybe a way to prepare for peak user times since the schedule is known well in advance?

Thanks.

[walkingwindchime]

use the chat room instead

Dave knows all the problems with these boards on gameday, but he refuses to do anything about it. Just do not login during gameday.

[DaveSpadaro]

I had Invision monitor yesterday and the report is that there were no problems. If you have something to report, please be specific.

And you believed them?  The company running it didn't detect a problem, I'm friggen shocked.  I got a bridge I'd like to sell you.

It's pretty close to unusable gameday or any high traffic move, as it crashes every two minutes and when it is functioning it's at a 28k dial up pace.

[walkingwindchime]

I'll be specific.   It is slow as a turtle in molassas!

  Maybe you should draw it for him.

Be nice guys. I know what problem he's going through on this. Invision has crappy monitors to their systems.

Dave, being specific here, on gameday, way too much traffic overloads the server. In fact, because of the rapid posting, it's so much that random errors come up, usually "database errors" and or we get the infinite loading sequence where nothing loads at all, or we get the extraordinarily slow loading times to begin with. Simply put, the function of the server is anything but normal on gameday.

To be fair, it's pretty normal for Invision.

Monday afernoon at 1:52PM-ish,  I had to wait 30 seconds between the time I hit "quote" on your post, until I was able to start entering in my response.  

Sad.

Totally agree, I tried to get on the message board game day and forget it. I was at the game so I don't know about game time.

Yeah, I waited about 30 seconds if not longer for this thread to open after clicking the title.  On Gamedays this Message board is SO slow. If you're lucky enough for the page to actually load, it takes minutes for new pages to load/to edit/to actually submit a post.

Now, I will say yesterday I didn't get any service errors (it was slower than Vicks preplay reads), but on Monday night it was horrible.

This exactly but It's not JUST gameday. It has happen at others times as well.  It's just at it's worst on gamedays.

Dave, prior to the game being over response time was really slow. You click on a link and just wait...probably up to a minute no response at all. After the game ended, the response time was even worse. Invision must be able to see the bottleneck in traffic. They need to produce the average respone time by all the users between about 7:00pm to 10:00pm. This site was on it's knees with bad response time.

[BDawk_ASamuel]

Lol at this. The boards have been slow for years, so this shouldn't be news to anyone. Dave, I think you've been hanging around Andy too long. "Invision says the servers are fine."

  No problems? Seriously? I got blank pages constantly, when I didn't get blank pages the board would take 3 or 4 minutes to open a page or do any operation. When it didn't take 3 or 4 minutes, it took 4 or 5 minutes.

No problems? Were they monitoring it at 8 am or during the game?

Invision reported no problems.

Dave, you have to tell Invision to do a better job of putting us in a position to post messages.

[dave moss]

well, if the board is slow then maybe there will be less threads asking Lurie to fire Reid...

Dave, we've been saying it for at least 3 seasons now.  There was a thread last week complaining about it.

As others posted above, it is nearly impossible to even logon.  If you're lucky to get on after about 10 minutes of waiting for the main page to load, you click any link and it then takes an additional 5-10 minutes for the sub-forum to load.  Then more minutes to get a thread to open, then you reply and it takes forever to update the post.  You wait 5-7 minutes for the post to take.

Get your friends and Eagles staff or anyone you know and see if they can logon during gameday and you'll see.

The speed combined with the poor play will explain how dead these boards are compared to past years when they were rocking

Sad.

Hilariously enough, InvisionFree, the free variant can handle thousands of people of traffic with little bog at all. Apparently the servers they get from advertisement revenue is muuuch better.

[GrahamCracker]

Thanks for listening.

Specific errors have been described here already. Pages hanging up and never loading, database error messages, and general slowness. I did not realize that there was a thread on this last week, sorry for the repost.

Good luck and thanks again.

So it is fixable. Makes us feel a lot better.
