Talk:Wikia Migration

Site Performance

 * New site doesn't seem to be as quick as our previous site - more delays and timeouts. It would be nice if the host provided more resources to speed it up.  I've lost some work due to page timeout and will have to remember to always copy the page before previewing it. --Dr Doom HG 18:33, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've experienced this as well, also the undo feature seems to not work in text boxes as it did previously (trying to track that down). See also Forum:Site performance issues and improvements. -- 20:07, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * RSS feed for recent changes doesn't appear to be working today (was working last week). --Dr Doom HG 22:47, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Images appear to be cached on the server, so when uploading a new image it stays as the old image and won't refresh to the new (even with an Alt-F5). Wikia adjusts the width-and-height proportions to the new image, but the server doesn't actually serve-up the new image. (see Apprentice Fletcher (Samsur) for example of a squashed image) --Dr Doom HG 18:13, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * I had this exact problem with newer icons, I uploaded the newer icons a second time today and now the old ones appear ok (very annoying), but atleast they show up now. --Tiger1986 16:53, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Our old refresh button did this automatically, however Wikia removed it, I will ask them again to let us keep it. But you can do the same action manually if you click edit, then go to the address bar and replace the word "edit" with the word "purge" then hit return.-- 19:07, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * The refresh button is present again however resized image caching problem appears to be either a long time delay in updating or a problem recognizing a new image needs to be created. I'll continue trying to find a resolution for this. -- 20:07, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * According to Wikia staff the clearing isn't always immediate so while the change was successful it can take some time for it to actually show up (so if you go back to the page later on it should appear correctly). In the pages I've checked myself this has been true. So while somewhat annoying, it doesn't appear to actually be broken. -- 01:54, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
