johnnyboy Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 What is the differrence? I've responded to two messages about covers in my inbox . Responses are now sitting in my out box (not sent box) so I'm not sure they've delivered, but I don't know. Is something wrong with the server this morning? I can't see what I'm typing and it's painfully slow. Scrolling looks like I'm smearing paint. Johnnyboy [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samantha Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I can answer this one, as I also asked. Once you compose the note, it will remain in the outbox until it is retrieved by the recepient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see what I'm typing and it's painfully slow. Scrolling looks like I'm smearing paint. Johnnyboy [email protected] The message will sit in your outbox until the person actually reads the message, well ok, at least clicks on their PM area and receives the message. It is not like email were it is sent to someones ISP server, though an email is sent out to the address they have listed if they chose that option in their profile. So you will know when they get the message when it moves from your out box to your sent box. And if the scrolling just started looking that way for you, consider yourself lucky as it has been that way for me for the last 2 months. I would be curious, since the service is based in Ca, what does it look like for folks on that side of the US? -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboy Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Jasen, actually the scrolling/paint smearing didn't start today. It's been happening, some moments are better than others. I imagine folks on the west coast are fine; unless of course their routing goes East first then West for some crazy reason.

Firemonkey Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Smearing/Scrolling Mine has done it on occasion as well, and is intermittent. I have noticed it with the same frequency from all points in the US (San Diego as I type this). I'm not sure the smearing of the page when scrolling is a symptom of the service, and not the local client. I have always assumed it to be screen artifacts created by my browser, and computer which has gone days or weeks without a restart. Its a static page, which has already been loaded to my browser. When it smears, its not any sort of communication lag thats doing it. Possibly bad markup sent from the server, but nothing to do with the connection itself once the page has finished loading.

Not really sure here, but while the browser holds it in cache from the previous load, being it is a forum, I would have thought it gets refreshed from the server every page load? I have been meaning to research this in the phpbb forum to see if it is the forums growing size that causes this and if there is a way to reduce it. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboy Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm pointing to the server. Since this is the only site I get page smearing from. I could be smearing like crazy here, and at the same time be great at hotmail, whole latte love where I order my coffee, and even Mexico.

Firemonkey Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 It reloads each time, but once its done, its idle. Its a page, not a chat client. As johnnyboy said, its only happening to this page, and not another page on the same machine at the same time, so it may be the scripts/code being sent to the clients, but not network latency.

LeadDog Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well, maybe we will hear in from some of our West coast brethren on this slow scrolling/looking like the page is smeared issue. -=Jasen=- It never smears on my Mac. When I'm at work on Windows XP Internet Exploder then I get the smears. The smears stop for me after the page has completely loaded but if I scroll while the page is loading I get the smears.

Doesn't mean I am gonna go bite my nose off to spite my face (and buy a mac) anytime soon.
