NeRo9k Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I just noticed ECF changed their forum skin/template around. What do you guys/gals think? It seems reading posts within a topic is easier on the eyes but I could be wrong.
Jolly Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 they actually backed up the database and then reinstalled with vbulletin from version 3 to 4. part of why they did it was to speed up ecf.. well that failed. with all the sections they have the basic server setup they purchase is over worked. for that many users, loading that many pages, with that many sections. you can not use anything other than a pretty healty vps or dedicated server. if they were to trim the fat, by removing all those sections of the forum that seem ridiculous to have, that site would function great.
snubber Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Don't see a need for me to go to ECF. I find all the info and friends I need right here on VaporTalk. More like home to me.
BreakingBad Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Don't see a need for me to go to ECF. I find all the info and friends I need right here on VaporTalk. More like home to me. I second this. This place just feels comfy. Like your favorite pair of sweat pants!
BEERCITYVAPRZ Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I 3rd this, its comfy here like your favorite bar
Jeffb Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 When I go to ECF its like sensory overload now. There's lots of info there but I'm too impatient to sort through it.
Uma Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I visit the Jantyforum there about once a week for updates on the Tesla filter and whatever new product will hit the shelves in our lifetime. The mod forum... had me glued for a few months awhile back. My hubby is going to make me one, but I have to do all the research which sucks. As soon as I understand one concept, boom! there it goes into overhaul. Suffice to say, we'll never ever make a mod in our home.
Brian Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I went over and browsed around a bit and it's miserably slow trying to scroll. Wasn't that way before.
ecigg Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I went over and browsed around a bit and it's miserably slow trying to scroll. Wasn't that way before. Its Vbulletin they made an update to their software recently. A lot of Forums use VB and a lot of those forums are very slowly. I don't like VB's new udpate
Jolly Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 vb isn't the issue when it comes to speed, that's a server issue and also a issue with how many forum sections they have. reguardless of how many users they have or what bulletin software is used, you cant have that many forum sections and expect to run with out a hitch. they either need to get a dedicated server w/ 2gb ram and beefy cpu or trim off the billion and one un-needed forum sections. they might have reinstalled again as i cant seem to get logged in.
