I think we have the sluggish forum problems solved

[Dave Ambrose]

Made some modifications this afternoon, and they seem to be working. I also upgraded the forum software to the current rev. 

If you notice anything odd, please comment on this thread. 

Our sluggishness problem was related to a Chinese "search engine" continually accessing the site. I don't believe this is, in fact, a search engine. I believe they're training an AI model. They might work around our access blocks. Please comment here if the forum gets sluggish again. 

Thank you for your patience. This was a hard one to solve.

Because there's a bunch of white space in the post itself.

10:31 PM EDT 8/4/24      Starting to hang just a bit when changing forum headings or threads, and some pix are slow to load, with that subtle flashing going on where the photos haven't appeared yet...

Dave, a Huge "Thank You" for getting this fixed. I wonder what other websites the Chinese AI has slowed in their search to 'train' it?

[OldNYJim]

I think I preferred it when they were just sending their creepy spy balloons ??

Forum is super fast, working great for me - thanks to all the MCM staff for all you do!

[DJMar]
