Is it just me,or is everyone having some trouble getting around in Singers Show Case? Heres how its going for me (and I have internet speeds a little better than dsl)

Takes....30 seconds,just to get on the SS site,from the time I click GO.
(That is like DIAL UP Dejavu)
Takes ....12 seconds to get back to the main Submissions page after
viewing a singers submission.

The songs come up at a good rate,but getting back to the
main page to listen to others,isnt as easy.
Its putting a damper on how many song subs I am
able to listen to in a day.

Basically the inhability to move around the site,is making
it so that I am not listening to as many subs because it just
takes too long. :(

Is anyone else having this problem?

Don't worry, I am having the same problem too :)

I have cable internet at home and a good computer with a lot of memory/power, so I know it is not that. It does take around 30 secs for the site to load......And the same when you listen to a sub and try to get back.

Same thing at work...........still very slow.......

And I agree, it makes for listening to be a pain sometimes :(

Hi Tammy

Here's some information regarding your issue. Phil (webguru) is working on this issue, let me point you to

All Forums ยป Singer's Forum: Get out of your little BOX!!!!!!!!!!!

webguru
Quote:
Give me time to figure out how to do this...
I'm still trying figure out to have the pages load faster

This is alot of work, but I do enjoy it!

I am also working on some other features to make this more enjoyable for all! (That's the toughest part! - Pleasing everyone...)



Now, there is a work-around, that I use, because like you, I cannot wait, even with cable or DSL.

Open the Singer's Showcase page and login (on the top)
Wait 'till the page comes back, and showing you've logged in.
Now, DO NOT click the on the song title, BUT

press the SHIFT key and then click on the song title. This way a new page opens, and you can liste, rank, post and when done, just close the window!
Now you're instantly back on the Singer's Showcase page and repeat the steps. Once you're done all the subs, just do a refresh on the Singer's Showcase page and all will be updated. Possibly have new subs to listen too as well.

Hope this helps. :wink:

Ahhhhhhhhhh...thanks Allstar,I will try that :D

and if for some reason,its not faster,,well...I'll

between subs...lolol. :lol:

Hey folks -

I know, I know!

I "really" am working on this.

It is very slow... I have four computers here - one with 14.4 modem you should see how slow that is!

It is because of the search queries being conducted by the scripts. I have hired an outside developer to research, investigate, and assist in repairing.

Hopefully soon. We tried yesterday, but to no avail... We'll keep trying.

Phill

I feel for the web guru. This stuff isn't as easy as some may think. As a matter of fact, it's not easy at all! I dabble in website development and I know the hassles!! It can be extremely frustrating, even for a pro!

Thank you, I was begining to think nobody believed me... :cry:

Hey anybody want to help figure it out?

Here is a portion of the code from the latest submissions page.
Code:
<?
      if ($id=="topSong") {
        if($genre=='%')
         $genre_str = "  genere like '%$genre%'  ";
      else
            $genre_str = "  genere = '$genre'  ";
      }
      if (empty($offset)) {
         $offset=0;
      }
      if (strlen($records)) {
      $dispPages=$records;
      } else {
      $dispPages=10;
       }
      $wcnt=$offset;
      $num31=$dispPages*10;         

//       $sql = "select songs.*, unix_timestamp(date) as date1 from songs where $genre_str  order by $sort_column  $sort_type  limit $offset,$dispPages";

 $sql= "select s.*, unix_timestamp(s.date) as date1,u.username from

  songs s, user_profile u where s.uid=u.uid and $genre_str  order by $sort_column  $sort_type  limit $offset,$dispPages";

 $db1=mysql_query($sql);

 echo mysql_error();

      if (mysql_num_rows($db1)==0) {

         echo "<center><span class=warning>No Submissions Found.</span></center><br>";

I thought that may be one reaction...

Also, wanted people to know how much coding work goes into displaying some of the info. Plus that is only a portion of the entire code. But where I believe the troubles are.

Just maybe there is another developer on here who could help...

If not - oh well - I'll keep "pluggin' away" - buggy dang stuff. - One incorrect code entry can really thow a glitch in the works...

Phill

Phil,I am wondering if the Route that SS is going may have something to do with speeds? Heres an exaple of whats happeneing here when I am on SS.

Firstly My internet goes thru Desmoines Iowa..to Yours in NY,
but then,,it goes from NY,to the other side of the Country,
which is Cal.

So~ My question is,why not skip NY,and just go straight to Cal
rather than heading to the NY server?

Am I making sense? gosh,I could use a coffee. lol :D
