After the move, do you notice that forums are faster? I sure do. Vote and let us know!
 
It goes 10x faster and I use dialup! NOT!
 
It's going faster than it has been, but it's about the same as it usually was until a couple weeks when it got all slow and laggy and bad and terrible and so on and so forth.
 
Yea, it seems faster. Though not by much, it was fast before too.

Edit, it just reloaded all the cached images after posting this, and it took a lil bit longer than I'd expect. But it's a 1 time thing so w.e.
 
This is like "Too Fast and Too Furious"...

Press Enter to load a thread, and it shows up 50 posts within a split second. I thought I had overclocked my CPU by accident...
 
It's going faster for me, most of the time when it seemed to be going really slow before was due to my shitty internet as much as it was down to the site itself (my wireless modem has a habit of cutting out for a few seconds completely at random).
 
it would probably be hard to tell if there is a speed difference unless pages suddenly load instantly.
 
What if pages loaded BEFORE you clicked? That, Mister Ghan_04, would be awesome. Albeit probably unnoticed with the new ultra speed that has since become TheHelper.net.
 
According to the polls, it seems the server change only affects frequent members.

What? o_O

There's no significant speed difference for me. It could be faster or even slower, though I haven't noticed anything. So I voted for 'the same'. As long as it isn't slower for anybody, then it's good :thup:.
 
@Tom I noticed a slight internet speed increase, but I didn't know if that was Qwest being awesome or not.
 
My college now blocks all images from TH, D:.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
