Very slow website

Installation and Configuration

My experience was that my JR site was as slooooow as molasses when I had it hosted on Arvixe servers. When I'd inquire or complain, they used to typically give me vague responses or tell me I was 'overloading their server'... even when I was the ONLY active member, simply building my site quietly and not running resources at all. From the moment I transferred to Jamroom hosted servers, my site immediately increased in loading speed by more than ten-fold... from a 200 overall performance score (!) to about 2000... and has been speedy and smooth running ever since (for two years now).

hmm, not sure why my quote functions didn't pan out. But you get the idea I hope.

We'd need to be able to 'sort' by the columns in the User browser, and to then shift-select batches of them, and apply an action like change quota, delete, make inactive/active ?

1. & 2. Last login date would be sufficient for all purposes (just my opinion and my useage)

3. currently, we CAN see (and sort from most to least content) what profiles have added how much content to our server, in the Profile Browser (not the User Browser), at https://(yoursite).com/profile/browser . And PJ, you CAN see the numbers for specific media they've loaded....just click on the the disk space number for a particular member in the profile browser- it will open a new window breaking down what content that member has added, by type.
I have always wished I could both Last login date along with server space they take up, and Date the member joined all in one functional 'action browser'. Along with being able to sort by quota and switch quotas. I've always disliked the separation of the Profile browser and the User browser... though I realize that is perhaps necessary and is likely very useful on some sites like band sites. My other wish item would be to see the IP address of each member... thought these can change, perhaps just the IP address they signed up under. IP maybe not feasible or practical.

I myself don't need a record of such transfers.

Again, I myself don't need this, but I can see a use for it.

It'd be great to be able to perhaps combine the functions of User and Profile browsers somehow? And be able to sort columns by last login date, or by amount of content on server, or by date of having joined, sort by user OR profile name columns, etc etc... and then shift-select a big group of them you've sorted and get an option to send them a message, email, or newsletter. delete/modify, change quota...
That's all i can think of for now.

I agree with PJ. Right now, the User Browser can SORT members by their last log in date (and that has been HUGELY useful for me)... but you cannot select and delete them from there except on a one-by-one basis... nor can you shift-select them to move them into a different quota. It'd be incredibly useful for a site manager to be able to do these actions with a simple click, as existing site tools, without needing to code it in. Perhaps the User Account Browser can have one or both of these extra functions added to it?
My site has many hundreds of members I'd like to do this with, who have not logged in for years. I can identify them in the User Account browser by last log in date column. If I had an easy way to move them to a different quota, I could then send them a 'newsletter' informing them they'll need to log in at least once to show they are still active, or else their accounts will be removed as defunct. And then (if only) I could again sort by last login and shift-select to delete the ones who did not log in after the newsletter.

LOL. ;D
Hey, I don't run a social network for dead people. Their stuff takes up space on my server, which will eventually cost me money to have to expand to house all their old junk. I like dumping SuzieQ's long defunct membership along with her years-old photos of her hanging pot of petunias.
Yes, I do delete old emails... but I don't spend hours a week on it.

I'm hoping someone else can advise on this specific issue better than I can. I tried searching for the subject- I know it's in a thread on here... somewhere.

Meanwhile, there's this:

-you may find a good use for it considering all your options and goals.

Just a few thoughts randomly:

You might want to think about how you could possibly utilize certain things to identify/stimulate activity by the 'sleeping' members:
-newsletters
-polls
-Likes
-member badges
-perhaps a Group for certain new members.. to encourage them to come forward
-profile comments or automated new member 'greetings' or 'follows' by a created Greeter member
-required profile/account avatar/photo
These are all positive reinforcement methods rather than negative/punishment ones.

Also have you considered using user browser "last login" information for deleting long inactive members by their last log in date, rather than making people invisible because they didn't complete profile form details satisfactorily? The chances of someone who joined 4 years ago and never contributed anything suddenly returning and becoming active are TINY. Besides, all their signup/bio info would have likely changed enough during that time that it would make better sense for them to simply join anew. You've probably had members join twice anyway with a different email address and username without your knowing... all the more reason to simply delete very old blank profile members who have not logged in for years. That's how I make sure that duplicate members eventually get deleted. (again, in my opinion)

Is your network viewable to non members, publicly? I suspect it's private, but if not, anyone who is interested in browsing it is ALREADY in effect a downgraded 'sleeper' member of your site, without ability to post or communicate.

IMHO, (and everyone's network has different function/needs) but I can't think of a better way to frustrate and lose members than to: A) have members at some point realize their profile has been invisible, B) force them to spend time typing/completing a lot of info as a new member, or C) require them to reveal their personal contact info to everyone else... i.e. to thousands of online people they don't know.
None of the above may be relevant to your situation- if so ignore it all!

I sort of wonder if that one fellow was having an archiver login problem possibly because of a recent change on his site to https.
