Twenty-four hours minus one second.  

FML... no Powerball jackpot for me then.

Which part is slower?

Profiles, for instance. But it seems okay again.

It got worse: https://bpip.org/r/dt1changes.aspx took 14 seconds to load, and https://bpip.org/Profile?p=loycev first didn't load at all, then took a few seconds on retry.

Archiving through a handful of third party archiving services of various pages on BPIP takes about the same amount of time as before.

IIS returns memory to the OS when not in use.   The first page you request will take longer if no one has visited the site in a while (depending on how aggressively their web host reclaims) and then after that there should be a slight delay for the first load of each new page that has changed since it was last compiled.

Since aspx is pre-compiled in this way, it is much faster than a PHP server under similar load.

Did something fail in scraping latest Trust lists this week? The profiles still link to last week's Trust list.

Thank you, I've manually updated the file on our side.. but to get it automated again, suchmoon will have to adjust the scheduled task to start saving the updated file in the newer directory.

Not sure what to say about the performance issues you are mentioning... all of the .aspx pages are still under the same infrastructure as before, so it should be the same performance-wise.

For the 3 newer infrastructure pages, they seem quick to me, at least when I'm using them... I haven't seen it not load at all either. Maybe there is a general server resource issue happening which I can't really see. suchmoon may need to look into the server's resource usage and see if it is having any issues throughout the day (if he hasn't already   ).

I believe it's technically running two sites at the moment, so I'm sure it's consuming more resources than we'd like, but it wasn't really possible to port every page over in a timely fashion so this phased-in approach seemed to be the best route.

I didn't see anything extraordinary. The new site isn't using any significant amount of memory. There are some scheduled tasks running, including the scraper, that might affect database performance. I'll see if I can set up some monitoring for slow requests.

Can you check this?

Ah poop... fetched the file into the wrong folder again. Should be good next week.

Hey there!

I addition to the previous overlap mentioned by me a while ago, I just noticed another one. This one is also present on the mobile (Android) version of the site and it is related to the descriptions of Merit, Activity, Feedback Trust and Recognition.

In order to reach the bug, you have to perform the following actions:

- launch the site on mobile
- search (and find) any valid profile
- click on the "?" symbol placed next to each of the following: Merit, Activity, Feedback Trust and Recognition - let's suppose we pick the "?" placed next to Merit - at this point, the Merit's description will be displayed on the screen
- click on another "?" symbol placed next to any of the remaining three section (considering that one was selected at the previous step) - let's suppose we pick the "?" placed next to Activity - at this point, the Activity's description will be displayed on the screen
- repeat this operation for the remaining two "?"

Result: the descriptions of four entities will be overlapped (please see the picture https://i.imgur.com/hxwLM3j.jpg).

Suggestion: in order to have bug fixed, I think that if an user clicks on the "?" symbol placed next to any of the four entities (MATR), this action should dismiss an eventual previous click on another "?" symbol. Thus, only one description will be displayed on the screen.

Thanks for the bug reports, although this is sorta the same bug you've already reported.. just on a different page. 
It will be fixed on the next release, I have already added in JS on the development site to fix all tooltips from overlapping, on any page.
Let us know if you see anything else!

Guys I am using BPIP on regular basis and it is amazing work from everyone.
One thing I need to ask is why does theme save setting is not working correctly?
Meaning, I choose specific theme and remove background image for faster loading, then I save it, but next time I start BPIP it is all back to default settings.
Is it like this only for me or for everyone?

Do you have cookies disabled or set to delete after you close the browser? It needs a cookie to save the settings so it won't persist e.g. on Tor Browser with default settings.

I just tried with Firefox and it does remember the settings when cookies are enabled.

Indeed, it's a similar issue. But better safe than sorry I considered that it's better to mention it, hoping you will fix it, than not mentioning it and, in case it was a different bug, to risk having it there forever.
I'll keep you posted with everything else that I can find!

Thanks. It is working fine now.
I have custom settings for my browser and it was indeed deleting cookie for BPIP website.

Is there any chance the BPIP.org pages time's can be manually set to either GMT, Local PC clock or even match BitCoinTalk.org 's default time?

Recent discussions such as the Is BitcoinGirl.Club hacked? thread and the known alts threads are examples where two different time zones are being employed in the same post which can potentially lead to confusion down the track when referencing those posts at later dates.

BPIP should be on UTC, just like the forum.

When I first programmed it, I did not take time zones into account.  So any lingering issues are probably my initial fault.  :/

BPIP Team - I'd love to make a suggestion for a feature that could help in the fight against spam.

Maximum words per minute.

When you parse a recent post, calculate the length of the post and the time from their last post, to produce their typing speed.  Keep the highest value, and sort by that metric.   You'll easily be able to see people who cut and paste, or just spew out words without context.

You are scaring me... with this "maximum words per minute" mindset.


 


Snap out of it... VOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Concededly, it would be interesting to see how such a measure might play out from member to member.

You would have to exclude some threads such as any data dump threads by LoyceV or tranthidung as well as the known alts thread or any loan threads where lenders and applicants are posting signed messages (or the post your address with (a) signed message thread.
