It looks like following users doesn't work right now. It keeps defaulting to not following.

I think it should toggle so if you are following already it does say unfollow. It would save a slew of confusion.

Ah, I wonder if the lag has anything to do with how it accesses the database for user information. If people with a variety of ways of accessing the site at different speeds all get the lag it is something on the server side for processing this. I haven't actually followed anyone on here yet. LOL I get auto updates for when people post the things I have posted to including all my PbP stuff, which is the default setting.

Good to note. The more info they have, the better they can work on issues we are seeing. They do pretty good at following what we all are throwing at them here. Some things are fixed fast and others are put into the priority list and worked on. I've seen quite a few things fixed and changed since the beginning. My simple finds of some formatting when they added info were fixed in an hour because well it was super simple to fix. Other things have been rolled into promised fun stuff to make things better later - like Omni search.

And I'm with you, as we keep getting more and more users and more things to follow over time, it really needs to be streamlined on how it does this process as the database is only going to get larger!

Just to give you heads up, I put in an official ticket for this issue. 

Thanks Subsistcyber! I wasn't sure if it was in the mix of stuff or not, though I don't remember seeing it in our bug reporting area. I know a lot of things get mashed into other posts, but thankfully with the mods helping parse out all the stuff we throw in here things do get passed on. :) Thanks for doing what usually feels like the thankless job some days, to all mods. 

And maybe we will. I'm currently in two and one starting this coming week, not added in my signature yet. ::chuckles:: Seem to find myself with crews mixed with a few of the same people, but we ping off of each other well even when we do have minor things pop up OOC about what we are willing to RP and not RP. All pretty cool and its fun seeing how our characters drive each other nuts in the mix of getting to know each other over time.

I can assure you it's not a lag issue on the server-side or database access. Y'all aren't even close to stressing the servers :)  

We have sites running on the same stack that handle tens of thousands of concurrent users and don't miss a beat. It's what we do.

It's just some bad logic implementation that is slated to be fixed. Just not at the top of our list, at the moment. But we will get it! 

I was talking about how it connects to the database - I know it is NOT a network issue or the overall server processing as everything would lag. ;) Been in network engineering too long to say it was either, but have seen some stupid little logic line in a program totally access a DB in a way that just freaks everything out. It's like having the dog properly fetch and then not want to let go of the ball or frisbee when he gets back to you. ;)
