Update

[West]

FYI, we made some changes to our backend setup which should speed up the website considerably. However, there will be some tuning that needs to be done, so please let me know if you see anything odd and I will work on correcting it.

We also setup additional security to prevent spam bots. You might be presented with an auth page in the event the system detects you are doing something malicious, after you validate yourself you should be set. Please be patient as we tweak the settings.

Thanks and sorry for the short outage.

thanks for the update.

[benarovi]

no pictures are showing up. actually a lot isn't showing up on screen
could be my shit computer but idk I was on this morning no problems and every other site is fine.

[West]

I believe that's a caching issue on your end. Clear your cache in your browser.

[240ss]

I cant view my feedback nor submit feedback for anyone. Anyone else having this problem?

[West]

Odd, I get permission denied. Ill look into it.

[SoCalDrifter]

is it only my computer or when you sit on the homepage for longer then like 5mins zilvia starts playing random music?? haha

[West]

Found the problem and working on a fix.

[RalliartRsX]

Now, the pages barely load in full (missing icons, long names, no avatars, etc)

Also, no pictures are loading up, I don't have a quick links tab and this page barely works on my phone..........

This all was working just yesterday

Lots of issues! I hope you guys are sorting it as I type this :)

[jeremyuhh]

im getting no pics, no icons, cant leave feedback, weird music playing.

[dorkidori_s13]

zilvia is still playing hidden video ads...

[Yuda]

hidden video ads. i also got an automated spam tab open up on my browser.

[Gumbrick]

I cant view my feedback nor submit feedback for anyone. Anyone else having this problem?

Same here! Just received parts from a seller and wanted to give positive feedback and now this" You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons", etc...

I also get random music playing in the background at times...

[dorkidori_s13]

the video ads are so damned annoying! also, its 6pm in Vegas right now at the site is moving at the speed of a 200mhz Pentium 1. not sure whats going on there but its makes me has the sads :(

[West]

Working on the spam and testing an upgrade to new version of VB, so its delayed because its upgrading some 5 million posts, etc.

[240ss]

Do what ya gotta do buddy!

Zilvia has definitely been freaky lately.

I am getting the same problem..

When I attempt to leave feedback the error message says I don't have that priveledge or my account has been suspended or is new....Been a member for a long time here.....

Site also loading very slow on my laptop (Chrome browser) (ie: I am typing, but words very slow to load), but fine via Tapatalk on Note3...

Ads appear at the bottom of the screen. Bouncing around and seems to make the page load slower.. Hate ads

[silviaks2nr]

I don't want to visit the forum until these issues are solved (spyware/ hidden video ads, browser crashing, etc. ). Maybe someone could post on the zilvia facebook page when this is resolved so I know when it's safe to come back.

[cmdsboost]

still have no pics loading. not complaining just trying to help you guys know whats going on.

Ok pictures and advertisements wont load if your running "Opera" internet browser, "Internet Explorer" is too slow and gets annoying, but "Firefox" seems to work good so far

[zooopreme]

Not here to complain just here to give feedback:

-Using Zilvia on all of my browsers are slow (IE, Chrome, and Firefox).
-No audio ads but pages load super slow. Text comes instantly, then forum icons, then pictures (after about 3 minutes)
-Typing text has a lag--I'm used to it though lol

It's starting to get annoying when I'm simply just trying to browse so I may just wait until things get fixed before I come back. Suggestion if possible: a mass email using Zilvia's automated messaging system should be sent when things are fixed.

[West]

Will have time to seriously dig into the issues this wednesday and over the weekend. Sorry everyone.

[VNG704]

I had the "no pictures loading" or "no icons" problem on this website. For Internet Explorer, I went into "compatibility view settings" under the "tools" drop down menu, and added "zilvia.net" to the list. Also, don't know if it matters but the two boxes on the bottom, I checked. This fixed all that. I still get those spam ads though.

[xoxide]

^Good tip, just did the same and now zilvia is working fine for me

[FaLKoN240]

My PM emails come really late

[West]

UPDATE: Most everything should be resolved. If you are using IE and having issues, then Ill have to look further into that.

Will look into why the emails are slow.

[zooopreme]

I'm currently at school and the only available browser is IE and the site works properly just like before. The internet here isn't as fast than it is at home so I'm hoping Zilvia will run smoothly at home.

[dorkidori_s13]

site is still laggy as hell in chrome. im using zilvia on two different machines with the same browser and getting the same lagged results.

it makes me has the sads :(

[e1_griego]

+1 to that, Dorkidori.

[S14_kouki504]

I am on google chrome and the site definitely loads faster but the icons, avatars, signatures, and pictures are still not loading.

[zooopreme]

Forgot to update last night but on my home computer, I use Chrome and it's still laggy but not as bad as before.

Also, as I typed this, I had my text removed twice. Started typing then the text disappeared and continued on with whatever else I was typing. Happened twice.

[yomisiu]

cleared my cache in chrome, no noticeable difference. having loading issue, like most.

[e1_griego]

Seems to be working great now, thanks!

[yomisiu]

^yes! site is working super fast right now. nice job!

[dorkidori_s13]

guess the database update is done and the migration is finished

[heychris]

Yep...I'm getting better performance too.

Signed on expecting the site to be as slow as before, but I was very surprised! Thank you to the people or person that worked out the kinks! Much appreciated.

[dorkidori_s13]

site is working great...however, spam bots are out of control again!

[West]

Did spam slow down for a bit? It should have slowed since the site started to normalize

[dorkidori_s13]

it got better, then worse again...

[zerodameaon]

How long has the site been behind cloudflare? I helped a friend run a local forum for his club and that stopped all spam bots. Maybe its just the volume of traffic that attracts them still. Only crappy thing was if you tried to IP ban someone you ended up banning a whole CF proxy, did they ever fix that issue?

[SoCalDrifter]

is it only my computer or when you sit on the homepage for longer then like 5mins zilvia starts playing random music?? haha

its doing it again... but faster like 1 min

[slider2828]

Awesome update!!!!!!!! Wholly geezus, posts and forum loads is like easily 5x faster... totally noticeable. Great job!
