1. Forum Server Performance issues RESOLVED

   Please let me know what you think. It's screaming fast for me now and I tried across 5 different devices and 4 different browsers. Also, a big thanks to @Thomas for helping me setup Linux server caching (I'm a windows guy) today. There was two rogue media ads that were (used to be 4) on the bottom of the topic pages that were sucking the performance out of the server and causing some older machines and weak connections to crash when trying to post. I have removed all of those ads, so what used to take for some, 4-12 seconds to post is now instant to 1.5 seconds.

3. So Long, Farewell, Goodbye

   AW is incredibly slow now since the rebooting, and I can't afford to spend a half-hour trying to post a few sentences, so I'll be taking a break for a while. Very frustrating. The phone is marginally better than the desktop but not by much.

4. Resource Leak

   It looks like the site has some sort of a memory leak, probably related to the new advertising. The page's resource load just continues to go up and up. Yesterday when I left the window opened it got all the way up to 18GB of memory usage. Right now its up over 14GB in about 15 minutes of the tab being opened. Anyone else running into this? This is in Safari on OSX.

9. Can't get to the homepage

   @Chuckster70 No idea if this is just me but I've been meaning to bring this up with you for ages. For awhile, when trying to access the home page, I get this... Error code 16 This request was blocked by the security rules I get that at home and I get it at work too, on different computers. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem?

11. The new "terms of use" on AngelsWin............

    " You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law" I see many violations of more than a few sections of this clause, every day. Is this really going to be enforced? The underlined ones come to mind. Is this just CYA for the attorneys?

12. Post corrections

    When I correct a post on my tablet, it only saves once. If I make a second correction on the same post, it won't save. No such problems on my PC. My tablet has a nasty habit of auto correcting, which I don't always notice before I save.

13. Chuckkkkk!

    I noticed over the past week that sometimes when in the GDT, the page will keep scrolling back up on me, and I can never get to the bottom of the page to see those posts. Is that an internet software related issue? It seems fine on the smart phone, but not on my laptop.

16. No more spoiler options?

    How do you add the spoiler option to posts? used to be part of a drag down tab. Especially in the hangouts forums, when we are talking about movies and such, it's really really helpful.

22. Advertisements

    Greetings AngelsWin.com guys & gals, Recently I've been getting complaints about the ads running here, how they're either taking too much of the screen at the top, redirecting automatically to another page from here or some have complained of audio ads. Just so you know, I have absolutely zero control over which ads are displayed here. I'm running Windows 7 & 8 on two different laptops and using IE11 and Google Chrome and I'm not seeing any of these issues. What I need from you who have experienced issues with ads is the following for me to triage: Browser type (and version): Mobile or Desktop: Operating System: Do you experience the same issu…

27. Google Chrome Users

    Make sure to clear your cache and cookies every so often. Chrome keeps images and data stored way too long and it can sometimes corrupt the way the website and ads appear.

28. Explorer 11 and Angelswin

    Good old Microsoft automatically updated to Explorer 11 and now non of the copy paste functions work. You cannot copy a post, you cannot copy and paste from a webpage or URL to the message text box. You can't even insert a picture using the image tool. Any one have this problem with any other web pages or message boards?

29. 2014 Roster

    Just wondering if anyone believes that Hank Conger may not make the team. Toreallba is better defensively and, right now, is hitting better than Conger. We know Scoscia likes defensive minded catchers and that is Toreallba's strength. Any thoughts?
