Problems with RC2...

[bloc]

I have gone back to SMF1.1RC1 for the time being. It seems the loads were high on RC2, and I want to be sure it wasn't the RC2 that caused it, hence the move back.

EDIT: SMF 1.1RC2 is not to blame, rather Firefox and its 1.5 bug.

That is a pity. Our server has has serious slowdown problems and that has neither TP or SMF1.1 There are a lot of worm problems about at the moment that is causing a lot of server problems. Last night was the first time I'd seen The Bloc Zone chugging.

I hope that things are sorted soon, it couldn't have been an easy decision.

No, it wasn't. I like RC2 a lot.

Still, I have done some things now to see if it works out..because loads were still high after I reverted. They do seem a bit lower right now(with the same amount of visitors).

So do I, you have a share in 1.1, I only have an interest.

The known CPU usage bug strikes again.

I already delete my whole site because my hosting provider said that my site continue to produce high CPU use.
I cancel my hosting account also.
I am planning to get a dedicated server now

So, in the interest of being practical ( realistic ) here, should we consider reverting to RC1 and thereby being able to use TP as is for now?
Or do you anticipate continuing on with TP for RC2 and a near future .80 release?

Either way, it's fine with me, I'd just like to know so I'm not in a holding pattern for a few months while things are resolved. If it's a week or two, fine, I can hold off...longer than that, I'll need to re-evaluate.

BTW Bloc, thanks for all your efforts to date...this is a great portal.

RC2 support will go on for TP, it was just the need to see if that version cause loads or not I switched back.

But I did something more than just revert. I renamed script.js after adding the codefix I posted earlier in here...so everyone was forced to download the new version of the script. And I denied 2 very persistent IP numbers..after that my load (with 5-15 people online) dropped from 4-5 to 0.7-1. Quite a change.

So I will just see how this goes for a few days, and then try RC2 again with this new setup in place.

I really think its the darn Firefox that cause this...and not SMF itself.

[HiroshimaPriest]

Okay, thanks for the update....I will stay in my "holding pattern" for now.

Keep up the great work.

Can you elaborate Bloc? What makes you say FF?
