Anyone else notice lagging state updates (unread topics, notification indicators) on the site recently? At least since IFComp started, possibly a couple of weeks longer. Not a big deal, just caught my eye.
It’s seemed that way for me a bit, but 1) that might be confirmation bias and 2) there are a few confounders here.
- with IFComp I may be more likely to leave 2 windows open by mistake
- there might be more traffic causing this slowdown, which would be a nice tradeoff for me. (Though if the slowdown is unrelated and gets fixed anyway, yay for that!)
It usually does that for me if there’s a lot of traffic… any time the site is bad enough that I see the messages about saving resources by rendering it as if you’re logged out, or straight up sorry, too busy, try again later, I will also have noticed the lagging status updates leading up to that…
So I assume when I see it at other times, it’s also server load? That would make sense with IFComp going on.
