DUC | Slow like a turtle when logged in / Fast when NOT

[25ghosts]

I find it strange that I can surf this forum in an orderly manner when I am NOT logged in. But ASA I log in everything slows down to an unacceptable speed....

I think it should be the other way around…

I think it should be the other way around…

The problem is that the UBB threads version 6.4.2 is ancient technology.

EVERY time you click, it has to deal with your user acct and all the security associated with it. It is making a zillion calls to the database. Without login info, it only has to make "many" calls, not a zillion.

The DUC is a rather large forum -- many members, many thousands of posts -- migrating to a new, current forum software and hardware would probably be an undertaking that would piss everyone off, cost a chunk of $ and have no real benefit to the Digi bottom line.

But we can bitch about how bad it is. ;-)

Guess you got a point there about the many calls n all... I do agree with you on the point that the DUC is one of the most comprehensive forums out there - or at least of the ones that I know of...

Guess I'd rather have a great and deep forum than a fast and shallow;-)

Couldn't they archive and have a link?
The DUC is so slow these days it's painful.

Or use computers?
