Is it just me??? When I click on an entry, I am not getting the larger version. I also noticed there were only 17 entries today and nobody is voting for anything and then I tried to view the entries and the process was slow and painfull. Now I know why nobody is voting for anything. Are people getting fed up with the performance of this web site. I hope it improves fast before people start leaving.
Update:
By the way....To the people that are voting now...Are you able to see the large version or are you voting on the small version??

Remove the cookies and temp files, shut down the damn system and start again!



You have 3 votes on the roundabout already!

Sorry.
YESSS: XXL

i can see the large entries..but at the moment it just takes a bit long to load it...
It's only the first hour after a new contest starts that it's all slow... ...have some patience ..the votes are comming ... (oh..it's weekend btw..voting is always slow then )

By the way, I was not talking about my votes. I was not seeing any votes, for anyone. I see them now. Still, it is slow.

I know... but I like too tell you

Over here the images change at 14:00 hours but the first hour or so is so slow I do not even bother to look because it is too frustrating waiting for the images to load. It get a bit better later, but I do believe people are getting fed up of it .

how bizarre, everything used to be slow, but the site crash server melt down of last week has made mine run sexy sliky smooth again, its like the good old days

well, when the slowing down is ended all stats are updated.

So I guess the mysql statements to update stats, frontpage, and setting up the contests causes high strain to the mysql server. Effectively straining the whole site.

My judgment: optimize the mysql statements, use memcaching if necessary. Be geek and serve the people
