[dlgoff]

You can set the time zone in your profile, by the way.

Oh yea. Thanks.

Is it just my impression (on my end) or red alerts take longer to appear? (without refreshing ...)

I have only noticed small interruption. Mostly, they appear as normal.

Live updates of alerts without refreshing are a gold membership feature.

Live updates of alerts without refreshing are a gold membership feature.

" Live Update
The Live Update feature is very exciting and useful. This feature polls the database every 10 seconds for any new alerts or conversations regardless of refreshing or if you are even viewing the browser tab. You could be writing a post and get an alert or be checking your email and see the browser icon change to alert you of a message. I love this! "

That's different! [I don't have those yet]
I meant just by "viewing the browser tab" (without refr...).

Let me investigate this further on my end, before I bring this back (e.g. to Greg or Matt), to make sure it wasn't temporary. It's not a big deal anyway. No other changes noticed so far, everything's great, the forum still superfast everything else otherwise ! ...

got bumped off mid post maybe thirty minutes ago. Got a 'security error' message when tried to log back on.
I don't know how i got back on, i think 'back arrow' on browser
but thank goodness my long long post in progress hadn't disappeared

it was the recent transformer thread inquiring about 5- & 60 hz in EE.

ps @ still won't autocomplete

@jim hardy autocompletes here. However, there seem to be stability issues with the server connection. I think I had an hour or so downtime (no pings) yesterday and for some seconds some minutes ago.

 

[jim hardy]

@fresh_42

[jim hardy]

@fresh_42

maybe it's user specific?

@Tom.G

@jim hardy worked again

intermittent ii guess.

May be it's Microsoft itself with a robot account or something ... (I see no activity ...)

Draft gets saved fast in the system always anyway.

Waited a few days. It seems fast and normal now in all respects ...

Hey Greg, that was fun! Can we do it again?

@Greg Bernhardt
I've noticed log-in time is much faster now.

 

[Borg]

People log off?

 

[jim hardy]

@Greg Bernhardt worked second time.

Well there is a member @Greg. Typing @Greg , (with the space), brings up Greg Bernhardt at the top of the list.

Yep Clicked Greg Bernhardt and it didn't autocomplete - first time. Did on secomd try. Some bit someplace gets changed after first try.

Just a minor annoyance.

Nope

 

[symbolipoint]

I do log-off. I use private-mode in browser anyway, so if browser were closed, I would be automatically disconnected from physicsforums. I would then sign-in again when I want another session on the physicsforums.

It's intermittent here, as is occasionally the banner at the page top doesn't show until the first scroll action. Both worked this time.

Intermittency is my observation too.
Computers were predictable pre-Microsoft.
So it goes.
As i said, minor annoyance. I'll quit complaining.
