Site Performance
Just a short one – wanted to let you all know that I have been working since Friday on the slowness on the site. It is highly variable, and seems to be only affecting some people at some times, so I haven’t been able to track it down 100% yet. I was sure I had it fixed on Friday night, but there are obviously still some issues.
I will continue testing and prodding, and update as any progress is made.
Thanks for your patience,
The DiaryMaster
Dear DM, I thought the site’s slowness was fixed this morning, but since I have had intermittent slowness today too. Thanks for updating us.

If it helps at all… it seems to be my Bookmarks page, more than anything, that takes the longest to load. Even when I’m using OD Mobile on my BlackBerry. And, no, I don’t have the icons/pictures turned on on that page, so that’s not it.

Warning Comment

Did you pick a booster club winner for April? Did you ever stop by Traci Lynn’s diary to see her latest effort?

Monday 1300, very , very slow.

The slowness isn’t just with Open Diary, it seems to be everywhere. Have wondered if there’s a limit to what the network can handle. It seems to run faster late at night. Willy of

Been slow here most of the day. I noticed today, and on the weekend, it seemed to be only the bookmarks page being slow – today it seems every so many diaries are slow as well. Good luck!

Thanks for working on the slowness. I’ve noticed it, too, and today it’s exceptionally slow.

Slow here. Takes a good 3-4 minutes to load an entry, and I’ve been getting a blank screen that says something about a ‘bad host’. 😐

I haven’t noticed an issue with speed (am in Alabama), but I have had trouble accessing the site in general. It was often down for long periods of time, especially on Saturday.

I’m not getting update emails, thought it might be relevant.
Warning Comment
Slow for me too…….
Warning Comment
It’s still slow here, DM…. took almost a full minute for my bookmarks to pull up. I thought it might be site traffic, but apparently there’s something else going on. I leave it to you fine folks to get things back up to par! I’m crossin’ my fingers and toes for you! 🙂

Beyond frustrating slowness for us and I’m sure for you too. Everything moves fairly good until I click on Bookmarks and then it takes forever, times out and I have to go to the main page hit Bookmarks so it can time out again. Three or more trys to get to Bookmarks! I sure hope to can get this fixed sooner rather than later!!!!!!

The site has been running very slow the past few days for me also. 🙂 – – – –

Still having to reload to get the error message to go away…

Its not as slow as it used to be for me. But now I have problems with pages. I get error messages when I go to entries of my bookmarks. Have to go to their front page and work myself through older entries to get to the newest entry. Thanks for working on this..

Not sure if this will help, but all night tonight, I’ve been getting white pages with exceptions/error codes. Might help resolve the issue? lol Or pin point something that’s beyond my realm of expertise. 🙂 === This is what it keeps saying randomly at just about anything I was trying to do tonight. A trappable error (C0000005) occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.

I have tried all three of my browsers. As of 5 am eastern time I am finding chrome best, but I am getting errors regularly. Chrome is a bit faster.
Warning Comment
I’ve had to refresh when trying to access pages & posting notes. Hope that a good solution is found so the site is working smoothly again. 🙂
Warning Comment
thank you for continuing to look into the problem. it’s been slow for me and is still slow this tuesday morning. take care,

I hope all ODs are speeding on the highway soon! 😀 I have reported a diarist here (and so have 2 others) who has posted an offensive message with hurts Muslims like myself. I haven’t had any notification since I reported it, could you please look at it when you have time? This is the entry: http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D544865&entry=11299

Slow for me too. Slow waiting for things to open especially bookmarks list.
Warning Comment
Thanks for your efforts, and hope you find the problem soon…
Warning Comment
Thank you!!!

In case you need updates, still very slow here going from Bookmarks etc.

I’m having EXTREME slowness at loading any diary screens yesterday and today. It essentially makes the site unusable. 🙁
Warning Comment
Diary of a cancer’s latest entry seems to have an offensive title.

Hi DM. Hope you figure it out soon, most often I cannot access my “bookmarks,” which makes it a bit problematic. Many other aspects of the site are slow for me too. Like others, used to think maybe it was just my computer, but I don’t think so. I can maneuver around other sites pretty well, so it just must be an OD thang. Thanks!
