[Freelancer Community News]Freelancer Community Network Bar (FLCNB) Update
-
Since we had major problems with the Freelancer Community Network Bar being hosted on GoogleCode (mainly high latency resulting in websites loading very slowly), the following measures have been taken:
- The FLCNB is now hosted on a seperate server, meaning we are no longer dependent on downtimes of The-Starport or GoogleCode.
- The FLCNB now also has its own Domain name, which means this will be the last update you as a webmaster will have to do. The domain name is http://www.flcnb.net which will always point to the server that hosts the FL Community Network Bar. This also means that we are a lot more flexible when reacting to server outages - we will simply update the DNS with a backup server.
Please help us to inform any webmaster that is running the FL Community Network Bar at the moment (or is no longer running it because of performance issues with GoogleCode) and spread the word!
We will do a major clean-up of the links within the coming month. Please update your FLCNB code on your website and let the FL Community Network flourish and prosper.

Updated.
And thank you

yeah, starport, fllistserver, flserver.deâŚ

It waits on flcnb.net. Cache is cleared every time browser shuts down.
It also waits only for fl_community_dyn_headerbar.js, and it seems it doesnât get it at all 'cause thereâre no dynamic headbar on pages.

In firefox it affected 2 scripts but only for the first time i opened the page. Different caching, i guess.
It also did wait those 20s, so the headbar is there.

I think flcnb.net doesnât respond to ping requestsâŚ
C:\>tracert flcnb.net -w 60000 Tracing route to flcnb.net [87.98.247.19] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 11 ms 11 ms 11 ms 10.8.254.19 2 12 ms 11 ms 11 ms 10.8.248.253 3 15 ms 16 ms 15 ms 10.16.248.50 4 16 ms 16 ms 16 ms 10.16.248.62 5 16 ms 15 ms 15 ms 10.16.247.62 6 25 ms 15 ms 16 ms kzn01.transtelecom.net [217.150.42.118] 7 * * * Request timed out. 8 ^CIt also doesnât respond to pings from from my server. And also to ping -w 60000.
Itâs not a problem with ping, really, you can see that 304 replies are very fast.

Yeah, others load instantly, at least in Opera.
I also opened flserver.de on my server, there were no slowdowns⌠I just donât know whatâs the matter with this script =(
-
Probably it might have something to do in relation to Opera. The dynamic script uses browser funtions to retrieve the sie of the screen. And there are more things than in the previous version that is done in the dynamic script.
Just my ideas about that scriptâŚ
