Load Balancing testing

Former_MSE_Webmaster

Hi guys,

If you're interested in helping out some more, this is a simple one.

We're testing out some new load-balancing hardware and I just need people to use the Forums through it. All you have to do is close all of your Internet browser windows and then re-enter the forums via this link:

http://forums.lb.moneysavingexpert.com/

You can then do your normal thing in here.

PLEASE NOTE: You will still be in the live forums so anything you do will happen as per normal and be seen by everyone. The only differences will be in the back end and hopefully, you shouldn't notice any difference.

What we're looking for are glitches or bugs of any sort, large or small or any performance differences at all. Please report them here if you find any but if not, please refrain from commenting excessively. I would, however, like to know who has used the Forums via this link so just one post each please unless you have a bug report or a question.

The more people who use this, the better, so please pass it around.


Thanks,

Webby

OK, I've just logged onto it now. The speed of the front page of the forums definately seems to have increased, but the only problem is all of the links from there seem to go to forums.moneysavingexpert.com not forums.lb. so it just goes back to normal unfortunately. I think this is the way vBulletin works.

I have done a few posts now on the link, including smiles, seems fine, except for the addy not being right

Just testing
