Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Reporting wiki bugs/Loading problems

Summary

After moving to a new server on 17th August 2010, pages have been intermittently hard to load. That's pretty much the problem in a nutshell.

Trouble loading pages since server move

→ moved from Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Reporting wiki bugs

2010

I'm having trouble with page load times/getting pages from the wiki (gww seems to work most of the time) since the server move. I'll hit reload on RecentChanges and I wait and wait for a page to load (if at all, usually it times out) and then I hit refresh again and I get the page fine and fast and then hit refresh again and I'm waiting again for the request. I'm just using recent changes as an example as happens on any page I try. Ping to wiki.guildwars2.com is pretty consistent and without packet loss. This is a problem from both home and work, I'm having no problems with other websites and don't seem to have problem with refreshing the www.guildwars2.com site.

Is anyone else suffering from the same? -- Aspectacle  07:39, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Same here, but the issue is new to me. Immediately after the database move, it worked fine for at least 2 hours. At this time, the URL to access the wiki was wiki.gtm.guildwars2.com though, and now it's going back to wiki.guildwars2.com so there might be some DNS changes in progress. Just be patient IMO. Chriskang 08:21, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

As long as I'm not alone in this strangeness. Thanks Chriskang. :) -- Aspectacle  09:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Im getting some dodgy lag aswell, but mine involves sig pictures and toolbar-in-editmode-pictures not apearing. well, that and Srs lag.--Neil • 10:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm having trouble loading any pages at all. Same issue as what Aspectacle is encouraging. ShadowRunner 10:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Having the same issues as Aspectacle. --hnzdvn 16:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

It's highly annoying, but it will be resolved. — Gares 17:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

I seem to be back to normal now. -- Aspectacle  23:34, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

When I go here (after having none of the pages opened) or when I reload pages after a few hours. It takes a long while to load, once loaded it goes smoothly. Ariyen 23:52, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Lol I seem to have to different accounts with the same name since the server move.--Emmisary 01:04, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Emmisary, you should probably make a new section to have those addressed, lol. At least the intermittency has subsided for me. Pages are loading like normal. Venom20 01:08, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

No, you're just using two different accounts - Emmisary (talk • contribs • logs • block log) is different to The Emmisary (talk • contribs • logs • block log). Note the "The". pling 01:10, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Anyone else still have intermittent issues loading the pages since the move? most of the time I have to hit refresh 2-3 times because the loading of a page just hangs. It only happens with this wiki. Upon an NSLookup I found the IP to be 64.25.35.206, after pining (for 50 responses) I noticed high response times. No packet loss and an avg ping time of 104ms. Compared to a google (173.194.32.104) ping, the avg time was 17ms and yahoo (69.147.125.65) was 43ms. Not overly high, but I'm wondering if others are still experiencing this. Venom20 02:54, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

To compare, a ping to GWW (64.25.35.205) yields an avg time of 89ms Venom20 02:56, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

The problem cleared up for a while, but I've had intermittent load time problems again - maybe for a day or so. -- Aspectacle  03:04, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed that earlier in the day it seems to lag for me at different times of the day, but late at night I don't experience bad lag. Ariyen 05:52, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Highly annoying, frustrating and unneeded? What did they change? ge4ce 08:47, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

The problem came back today for me too :( Chriskang 08:59, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

@Ge4ce, they changed servers on the 16th. Ariyen 09:06, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I haven't had any issues for a day now, perhaps this has cleared up? Manifold 16:55, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

I have had clear loading now for about a day as well. I hope it has all cleared up for sure and not a cyclical thing. Venom20 17:00, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Very slow loading right now for me. Erasculio 11:01, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

This is the worst it have ever been today. I hope someone is actually looking into these intermittent load problems. Venom20 15:39, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Again slow loading here. Erasculio 01:00, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm getting edit conflicts with myself now. What's going on with the backend? Venom20 02:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Pages are loading very slow for me :/ --Naut 18:02, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

This is still being extremely annoying here. Erasculio 00:42, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Yup, still a problem. I guess we can cross our fingers. :) -- Aspectacle  01:19, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) stop loading -> reloading -> stop loading -> reloading -> stop loading -> reloading -> stop loading -> reloading -> edit conflict -> rinse and repeat. Venom20 01:34, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

I find myself wanting to edit and consistency check less every day. Manifold 03:20, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

I rarely ever hit preview anymore only because I'm tired of hitting F5 then enter when it asks me to resend the data. I even cracked out interned exploder today, thinking it was a problem with firefox. Venom20 03:26, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

I've tried the site through IE, FF, Chrome, opera and safari. No difference. ShadowRunner 22:20, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

To add to shadow runner, I have used windows xp, windows 7, mandriva 2010s, ubuntu 10.04, kubuntu 10.04, each with at least 2 browsers, no difference. Venom20 22:42, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

like Venom mention I tried XP and vista and both suffer the same problem for once it is not a problem due to vista :P Tech Wolf-Talk 22:51, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

"problem due to vista" Bloody hell, that's a first. And yea, it's getting even lower for me tbh. --Naut 23:00, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh goodie, so this isn't just another episode of "the f'ed up life of my laptop and the internet." I was getting tired of all the issues my laptop has with the internet... hope it gets fixed. -- Konig/talk 23:16, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I was having problems with loading times too... it seems to have been fixed within the last hour Repo Man 00:24, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I've been having problems loading this wiki since the move. Gotten worse lately. Ramei Arashi 01:21, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Same two cents here. Just gave myself an edit conflict waiting for the page to upload. (Xu Davella 02:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC))

(Reset indent) For a while now, it loads near instantly, but let's not jinx it just yet.... EDIT: I guess I just *had* to jinx it. QQ - Infinite - talk 03:51, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Today pages are loading quite nicely and I can get things done :). Hopefully it stays this way. Venom20 11:28, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Same, mine are loading quite quickly :) --Naut 11:35, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

• knocks on his desk for good luck* Seems to be fine?! Edited a page without trouble. ge4ce 04:52, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I think the site notice about this could probably be dismissed by now. Erasculio 17:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

After several days of pages consistently loading properly I'm now optimistic the issue causing the problem has been resolved. -- Aspectacle  23:54, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) This problem is back today. Erasculio 02:01, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, all day it has been like that for me. Although I am remaining optimistic that it is just a slight hiccup and things will return to normal tomorrow. Venom20 02:18, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I can also mention various re-occurences of this problem. (It's not a persistant issue this time 'round, though.) - Infinite - talk 08:02, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Still slow here. It feels like some articles are worse than others (Recent changes works more often than not, Category:ArenaNet images doesn't work most of the time). Erasculio 00:42, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I was wrong, it's not just a one-day problem. We're still ongoing. I have problems loading all kinds of pages, but I will say that previewing and editing pages appear worse than others. Venom20 04:04, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

We were doing so well too. ShadowRunner 18:38, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Feels worse today than it was yeasterday for me. I ended up edit conflicting my self several times due to extremely slow loads. --Lania 21:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

This is really bad today. Not to sound too demanding, but we have been having this problem for nearly a month, during one of the times of highest wiki activity (Gamescom and PAX). It should have been fixed by now. Erasculio 22:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

If it takes too long to load (e.g. if I wait 5 seconds and there's no response), I stop and reload, and the re-queueing seems to work somehow. Just a suggestion. --Kyoshi (Talk) 22:43, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

I emailed Emily a couple of weeks ago and also sent messages to Anet accounts on twitter. Didn't receive a response from either, so today I sent more tweets and I'll see if msn works. I believe a month is enough time to wait before pestering people more often and perhaps personally. I've also sent an email to Support. pling 23:06, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I wonder if there is any data from us they could use to help solve this. Venom20 23:53, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Got a response from Emily, she's sending an emergency ticket. pling 20:15, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

That's great! Thanks for contacting them, Pling. --Lania 20:22, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Issue appears resolved for me. ShadowRunner 23:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

+1 - Infinite - talk 23:09, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Just to keep this section current: The bug is still around and still annoying. --Xeeron 09:49, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Yup, problem is back. ShadowRunner 21:05, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Both from work or from home... just slow most of the time. --Lania 21:20, 01 October 2010 (UTC)

Getting slow loads and pages completely failing to load .. make Bob sad face :( Bob soddoth 00:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

WTB full-wiki server reset and preferably a move back to the old servers. 1g. (Owai- should be 1b now.) - Infinite - talk 00:18, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Are they using same fail servers for this wiki as they are for GW1 ?? cos that often fails aswell Bob soddoth 09:34, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I thought it was just me for a moment. Was working fine at home and school, but this weekend I'm at the inlaws 4 hours away. I just assumed their inet sucked :S Venom20 03:05, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

in seven days it'll be the happy 2 month anniversary. should we get a gift? or should they get us gifts? Venom20 21:45, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

This is getting rather frustrating, I'm having to make extra efforts to ensure that I don't edit the same thing twice. Some pages take multiple refreshes to load and the problem doesn't seem to go away at any point in the day and no matter what computer I use no difference is made. Have we made any progress on fixing this? Eive 00:56, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Odd, the problem appears fixed for me. ShadowRunner 10:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) This problem has begun reoccurring for me today... epo Man 06:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Same here Thering 12:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

It's as well it is all quiet on the GW2 news front because it has been terrible for a few days now. -- Aspectacle  23:36, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

This issue has been back for me for a couple days now. And worse than before. It takes at least 5 reloads to get a single page, unless I get lucky. And I hardly get lucky. Before it was just reloading almost every page, but just one reload... -- Konig/talk 02:43, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

It has just taken me over an hour and numerous refreshes to load the wiki another approx 20 mins to load "recent changes" approx another 20 mins to open this page and approx 15 mins to open edit for this page ... who knows how long it will take to actually save this edit ... this is just getting silly  :(( oops forgot to sign :) Bob soddoth 04:01, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I will sum it up in two words: Fucking Infuriating. Also, I hope there are no errors in syntax with this comment as there is no way in hell I'm hitting preview. Venom20 04:18, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Still here... Erasculio 00:00, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

The issue went back to how it was originally for me now. -- Konig/talk 00:58, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I know ArenaNet doesn't really owe us anything and etc, but this is getting ridiculous. This issue has been here for nearly six months now, and we still don't have a fix, nor some kind of official acknowledgment about this problem. The "new" server has only given us problems, with little to no benefits. When is this issue going to be solved? Erasculio 23:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Check back next month. - Tanetris 00:42, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to re-add the sitenotice, keeping it until this problem is (properly) fixed. Hopefully someone from ArenaNet will stumble onto the wiki and notice it, but at the very least it'll inform visitors that the problem is on our end, not theirs. pling 17:56, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

January 2011

It's safely to say that nearly no information is lost due to these strange loading problems. It just requires a bit extra patience. Thank you for placing the sitenotice Pling. ge4ce 20:40, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Tanetris shouldn't have mocked them. ;P - Infinite - talk 19:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Seems they heard our plea: "Hi, folks: we're aware of the problems reaching the official wikis. Team is investigating the issues. Apologies for the inconvenience." ge4ce 06:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Nah, that was about the down time this wiki and GW1W had yesterday. Erasculio 09:17, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Anyone had any problems recently? pling 00:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeh, just now. Took forever to load mainpage and my watched. Not my internet but could it be that I'm still using the old address of wiki.guildwars2.com? - Lucian 0:37, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I've not had any problems since the large server downtime they had a little while back. I've got another issue - but I'll put that in a different section. -- aspectacle  10:24, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I am experiencing this today, every now and then. Other than that it was fine yesterday (even with all the traffic around the guardian reveal and the devchat). - Infinite - talk 13:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I spoke too soon - I'm getting slow page loads fairly often today. Perhaps we can break a new topic because this one is pretty long... -- aspectacle  05:47, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

After a very long time, this is back for me as well. Erasculio 11:13, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, I can't load the gallery of recently uploaded files. Usually, either it gets slow for all pages, or for no one; but now all other pages work, except the NewFiles gallery. I wonder if the reason why this problem is worse now has something to do with the fact we have just uploaded a lot of new images, due to the guardian reveal. Erasculio 20:52, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

February 2011

I think I'm still getting this problem. After saving a page, it takes ages to load and other pages become impossible to load; closing the newly saved page, however, then allows pages to load. pling 12:46, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm having this problem today as well. -- aspectacle  20:17, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

ditto-- Shew 20:21, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Wiki is almost unuseable today. Erasculio 18:18, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

For me it's only very minor today, with a stuck-on-load every 30 clicks or so. - Infinite - talk 20:05, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Started a new subpage for this issue to keep the main bugs page more concise, and to have a more specific link. pling 20:30, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't using the wiki over the weekend, but today and yesterday it has been seriously unusable. Everything that does load loads slowly. Many things will not load at all... Is this still related to a server move last summer, or is this something new? - Alice 18:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

The symptoms are identical to those immediately after the server moved. Periodically terrible slow to respond and other times fine. For a while there I though the problem had been fixed - over January there wasn't any sign of the problem. Yesterday evening I had a terrible time, there was a period of an hour or so where I couldn't get any page to load for me in a timely fashion. Their lack of acknowledgement or apparent action on the issue to be frustrating. ArenaNet's apparent inattention makes me wish we had more control over the server/hosting side of this wiki operation. -- aspectacle  23:12, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, I figured that if one page is loading, (after it attempts to redirect to the saved version..) I just exit and get back in through a new tab. - Lucian 3:46, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

sigh, just sigh. On a somewhat related note, when saving comments on a talk page or something. After you hit save, just watch the URL. When submit has vanished from it and the URL looks like a section of the page, you can just close the tab. I almost never wait for the page to show up anymore. It's like attempting to preview it, not happening. Venom20 14:21, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Gaile/ArenaNet has been made aware of the issue - gw1:Feedback talk:Gaile Gray/Support Issues#Help with Guild Wars 2 Wiki (thanks Lucian). pling 15:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem, Pling! - Lucian 18:03, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Lucian. I'm glad you managed to get some action on this. -- aspectacle  21:39, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I've noticed slight improvement since the tech team as been made aware. Anyone else? - Lucian 1:21, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it is almost non-apparent at this stage. Get big projects through now if you must, before it returns. :) - Infinite - talk 11:28, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Should we remove or modify the sitenotice now? pling 20:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Ohhh, didn't even notice that the pages loaded properly! Thumbs up! Ge4ce-Talk-Contribs 20:23, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I've not seen it but there wasn't a problem for most of january and then it came back with the guardian reveal. I'd like to wait until after chriskang uploads more gifs. :) But small trouble to reapply it again if we see the issue again. -- aspectacle  00:00, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I've been getting it today using firefox so I switched to chrome for now...don't judge me. :P (Xu Davella 03:42, 5 March 2011 (UTC))

I've got the problem too. Does Chrome actually prevent it, Xu? -- aspectacle  03:49, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Chrome does not prevent it, I am having problems loading lately on chrome. - Giant Nuker 03:54, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah yeah my bad. Just switched back to firefox and its working again. Intermittent wonder (Xu Davella 03:57, 5 March 2011 (UTC))

It's terrible here. :( Ge4ce-Talk-Contribs 05:11, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Is it just me with the rare random loading problems here? 3 minutes without anything loading, and then after everything seems fine again? Ge4ce-Talk-Contribs 06:51, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

It was alright for most of the day but has been on and off this evening for me. -- aspectacle  09:32, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm still getting load time problems. Anyone else? I'd like to ping Stephane with the problem if the problem is still there. -- aspectacle  05:37, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

It's more manageable at this time, but still persists. - Infinite - talk 11:01, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Very slow here today. Erasculio 02:41, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes. It's been crawling (and occasionally stopping outright) all day. - Tanetris 18:10, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Update from our technical team: they know what is causing some bad performances on the wiki and are working on improving this. I've got no timeframe on when this will be happening, so please continue to report any loading problems here. Thanks! --Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:44, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello April 6, your loading issues hurt us. x - Infinite - talk 16:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, today's been a bit worse than normal. --JonTheMon 16:57, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Could you please provide more information next time? E.g., general location (country), time interval, specific pages or the whole wiki, did you check your internet connection? This could be useful, although it seems that these events seem to happen to different people in different circumstances. Thanks! --Stephane Lo Presti talk 20:13, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

All my reports of this bug are located in the Netherlands, are also experienced at other people's locations from across this country (at least those I have witnessed first-hand), the time interval spans an x amount of hours during the day (but is usually spanning multiple days non-stop), can fluctuate in severity but persists nonetheless, affects the whole wiki and my and other locations' internet connection(s) has been checked everytime before reporting this issue. I hope this information helps. All other knowledge I have on this issue is third party information and they should elaborate on their own accord. - Infinite - talk 20:33, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Speaking for myself: Northeastern US, always the whole wiki, and I always check my net connection before blaming it on the wiki. - Tanetris 20:46, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't think this is location related at all. There are always different people from around the world having the same problems at the same time as others. Yet to speak for myself, Germany, it's never the connection. Even GWW works fine usually while GW2W is having horrible problems.. poke | talk 20:58, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Midwest U.S. It's always been the Wiki, I usually check several sites to make sure it isn't my connection. I was having the loading problem about the same time as Infinite (April 6th), but just got around now to reporting it. Usually just makes me unable to load pages for minute or two, and goes on and off for about an hour each time. - 21:06, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Present today, all of the wiki, same location, less severe than last report. - Infinite - talk 16:06, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I've also been having trouble loading this wiki (and the gw1 wiki) at times. people on the gw2 facebook fanpage have been complaining of the same thing. --Moto Saxon 21:45, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

May 2011

Been pretty bad for me the last day or so. Had to refresh the edit preview 3 times. Every other website is fine, but the lack of other reports makes me doubt myself. Firefox. - 05:15, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll add one. East coast Australia. Slow page loads for several days now. At home and at work, unix and windows, several different browsers. No other websites affected nor have I seen any problems with other guild wars official websites. It is pretty much like it was when I first asked about the problem. -- aspectacle  05:39, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

another one. The Netherlands. pages won't always load when clicking the link. Tried on several PC's , Windows and Firefox. just the GW2W (and 1 time the GWW,but I don't think they've got the same issue.)--The Holy Dragons 06:32, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

France. Chrome + IE9. Windows only. At home and at work. Several pages failing to load since the beginning of the week. Affects GW2W only. Not that bad actually, situation was much worse a few months ago. It was more than 1 page out of 2 at a time, now it's more like 1/20. Chriskang 07:45, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

It's not just you. I've given up reporting because I didn't feel that it was doing anything. But I have also been experiencing the loading issues for a while again. East Canada, multiple browsers, multiple OS's. Venom20 13:00, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

13:55UTC Western Aus. Chrome, windows 7 (I think it's safe to say this information is no longer relevant) Refresh, refresh, refresh and then it goes. --Xu Davella 13:56, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I just want to thank people for reporting the loading problems with details. This is helpful and very much appreciated. Please keep them coming and don't forget to give a rough time window (start and end time) of when the problems happened.--Stephane Lo Presti talk 16:57, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll make sure to come back and let you know when I stop having page load problems, Stephane. The issue has been ongoing since my last report. -- aspectacle  01:51, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Up until about an hour ago it has been pretty bad, and was since my first report. Just rechecked and now it seems to only be an occasional occurrence. Firefox, Opera, IE. - 06:35, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Having issues as well. Serbia, Firefox 4, Windows 7. GW1Wiki is most of the time fine, but GW2Wiki has slow loading times almost always for me. Usually I have to refresh the page a few times just for it to load... King's Quest 12:03, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Been very persistant during any hour I have been on since the 8th of May (with the lack of information from prior to 9AM GMT+2 on the 8th and anywhere inbetween midnight GMT+2 to 10AM GMT+2 on all other dates up to today. It turns out to be very problematic when creating new sections (very easy to make 2 (or more) new sections when submitting edits). - Infinite - talk 10:13, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Was insanely bad on Firefox since the moment I logged on (about 8 minutes ago) to just recently, then after about two minutes of blink-of-the-eye loading it started up again. Couldn't load any pages except during those two minutes and right now. Seemed to work fine on Opera and IE. - 04:27, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I got problems on Opera some times. I just wait till it loads but that sometimes takes 5 min+. Then it works good for a bit and it starts again. The Netherlands Sennar talk 18:24, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I'm getting it now too. --Xu Davella 08:36, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

It's been happening to me for about 3-4 hours, made editing my sandbox extremely difficult. Firefox only, didn't seem to be happening on Opera. - 21:51, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

(To be honest, that was a -375,300 character edit. May not be the most accurate reading of this issue. :P ) - Infinite - talk 23:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) It was happening before and after my edit. - 02:25, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Wiki is still slow when editing pages. Often, I have to click several times on the Save page before it loads anything. Any idea when will this be completely fixed? King's Quest 17:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I've not had any problems with the site since the update. Fingers crossed that this is fixed? -- aspectacle  01:08, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Good feedback aspectacle, we've indeed pushed for various fixes. So feel free to report any problems, with details please, or the fact that you're feeling an improvement. Thanks! --Stephane Lo Presti talk 17:17, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

It just took me a good minute to load after hitting save. Do not hit the button several times though, you may end up spamming a barrage of empty changes. Just wait for it. --zeeZ 05:54, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

The editting can be rather slow, but navigation everywhere else appears fine (a little slow for a wiki, but fine). - Infinite - talk 09:01, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Haven't been experiencing any issues at all thus far. Venom20 20:28, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) The issue only persists for me when saving pages. In all other scenarios it is a near-optimal browsing experience. - Infinite - talk 17:47, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Opening pages can be slow. Saving changes is slow, but for some reason slower when opening a page in the first place, before I get the chance to many any changes. I've [obviously] tested other wikis before saving this. Running the latest version of Chrome. A F K When Needed 18:40, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

It's only saving pages that's causing me trouble. In the recent changes I've got an edit to a talk page listed three times for the same edit. I clicked the button to save changes and waited about a minute or two. I then clicked it twice again and it worked. Browsing the wiki and loading up the edit page works perfectly, however. Oh, and I'm using chrome. --Xu Davella 11:55, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

I came her to say the same things. I can browse perfectly fine, all pages load up quite speedily. When I press edit, the page loads up normally (good timing). But when I press save, it take over a minute to make the changes. For example, I tagged a vandal page for deletion, and the save took 74s. I am currently using FF5 and reside in eastern Canada. Venom20 09:41, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Saving takes an insane amount of time. Again, hitting the save button multiple times achieves nothing but display of impatience as multiple same edits ;) Just wait it out. --zeeZ 09:58, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

At the moment things are fine. Saving takes some time, but only max 20 seconds. I use Internet Explorer 7. -- Cyan 10:09, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

August 2011

Even with consistent reports every month, I am still confident that it will be fixed soon. :) Like I stated last month, everything works fine except for when it comes to saving the pages. I have grown accustomed to opening up multiple tabs for editing while waiting for original articles to update my edits. Time can vary from between a few seconds to nearly a minute before the server responds with the requested changes. I also check Recent Changes while the page is waiting to be loaded and it doesn't actually show up until the page refreshes. I use Chrome. --Xu Davella 14:53, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

This issue is directly related to the currently updating sylvari page on the official site and should be resolved when that update is officially live (which it is not at this time, but for certain viewers it is updated already). - Infinite - talk 14:55, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

After a few months of not having any problems I'm back to intermittent failures (socket timeouts, unexpectedly long load duration) on page/image loads and saves. Often I will open several pages, one will "stick" (taking extra time) and all other page requests made after it will progress slowly. If I close the first slowly loading page often the rest of the pages I requested will immediately start loading properly and retrieve quickly and without any problems. I can date my problems to sometime after the most recent bot vandalism round and the admin changes to the wiki automatic blocking scripts. -- aspectacle  06:14, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
