Avatar changing...
 

It takes so so so long for me to switch from tab to tab, and sometimes open stuff as well...Maybe half a minute for each tab/item? Is anyone else having this issue?

Yeah its a common issue we are working on it, main problem being server capability and not having enough to update it yet.

Okies, thanks, Fen-fen. Chasm doesn't have this issue, so I was wondering if it was just my connection.

Is it like a bug?

Sort of. At a technical level it's not a bug, since it does actually WORK, but there's a performance problem with dealing with large numbers of items.

My connection has been iffy quite often though the usual snag I have is my avatar not saving properly, or recording some changes but not others. I've tried refreshing, clearing my browser cache, logging out and logging in again, turning my connection on and off and it still tends to be luck of the draw whether or not it decides to cooperate. For some reason, adding stuff isn't usually a big deal. It's changing items or taking them off that seems to be the most trouble at times.

Usually when a change doesn't save it's because the avatar editor is being slow and you've switched tabs too quickly. Given that this is the problem, none of those workarounds will help; however, one that will help is to wait a little while before switching tabs after changing an item.

Ah. Thanks Coda. I'll keep that in mind. :)

The only time I've ever seen it take that long is during the nightly maintenance, when we run some database cleanups and a backup; the site gets really sluggish around this time (if I recall correctly it's 3 AM Eastern time), but we picked that time because that's when we have the least activity during the day.

Well yes, me too. I think it's just the format or something in the code that makes it open slow, that or its made to be quick on SOME system and not a COMMON system. So idk.

The problem is that Trisphee has grown since the code was written. When it was in development it did all right, but each time someone with a very large inventory edits their inventory it slows down the avatar editor for everyone for a couple minutes. If you have a fairly small inventory (maybe 100-200 items) and you're editing your avatar during Trisphee's idle hours you'll see that it runs reasonably well.

I know how it's going to be fixed but it's a lot of work so I won't have a finished product to give to you guys for a while.

so basically it's folk like me with 1500+ items that ruin it for everybody? >.>
sorry guys.

Ya Lucid, it's all your fault!

*whips with a feather* Take your punishment!

It does get frustrating putting on an item, clicking a tab, and that item is no longer on. And vise versa XD

usually if you just give it a few seconds in between each change its fine
