Thanks for the report.
I'm currently investigating why this is happening -- stand by.

Blur Busters websites have been going undergoing upgrades (www.blurbusters.com top-bar redesign & capacity improvements), and I think I know what is causing the problem.

Please try again, see how it works.

Hmm, just tried to post and i hit submit, now another reply window popped up ..

I'm not logged out, though

Had the same yesterday. By now it seems fixed, thanx .

If you don't mind as is a similar problem, normaly, when logging in, even if i click the "remember me" (or something like that xD ) it just remember me for 1 day (pretty sure is 24h), not sure if it can be related to that i open the bookmark i have on "search.php?search_id=egosearch" (mine has a lot of numbers after that but don't think this is the problem). Also, on the login form i get there, even if i put correctly name and password it always tell me the form was invalid and on the second try it does work, not too important but a bit annoying .
Maybe it is suposed to have you logged in just 24h, but if not, i would appreciate if you could take a look .

Thanks anyway .

I think the 'Quick Reply' has this weird little bug. Right now I'm trying to post in the Quick Reply window and when I hit Submit, it brings me to, I think, the 'Post Reply' window.

EDIT: Opps, nope I'm wrong, that's fixed, yay!

I also has this problem yesterday.

It seems fixed now but since then there are some icons missing:

Thanks for the catch.

Working on these now.
[UPDATE: Fixed!]

Blur Busters capacity has been upgraded to CDN *all* websites (Forums, TestUFO, main, etc) to accomodate more traffic. phpbb has some weirdnesses with CDNs but many of the CDNs are great at helping prevent DDoS/hacker attacks (that overload phpbb) which has had been a recurring problem. In addition, tricks such as minification/compression/inlining has now been done to greatly reduce the number of browser requests to load all the Blur Busters pages.

Thanks for helping me fix glitches from the upgrades. Appreciated!

Overseas Visitors: Comments on performance?

People in Oceania, Russla, Europe, Asia, etc. should notice Forums running a little bit faster (I hope) -- pages fully loading sooner. I'd love to hear comments from people over the oceans how the forums is performing.

Blur Busters is a Canadian biz running the dedicated web servers in the USA (main traffic centre). But now more than 50% of traffic comes from overseas. For more than half of the URLs, traffic from Asia combined now exceed traffic from North America combined. This pushed the need for overseas performance upgrades.

Here, from Europe, can't remember if it was slow, but now is really fast loading, almost instantly .
