It wouldn't be C9 without random bugs and BS! You see that's what gives this place character!

That's true. C9 forum is famous with bugs. Still with tons of bugs. They should really kill off the strange page switching design. Click next page means running both first page as hidden and second page as visible? That doesn't make sense, but, that's probably the main reason for most bugs.

We do a server request for the next page, get a response in JSON, and use javascript to update the contents of the HTML elements already in place. It's like a virtual listbox.

We need to hook up a ?ReturnUrl=<Where you are> to the classic Sign In Url so you don't lose context.

EvNet takes a long time to start up. A really long time. It does a lot of DB Queries that can overload the server which times out DB queries which causes the site to error which cause the app to restart...

Once we get going, we're fine but if we make an update or hit a snag that causes a restart, things get ugly for a few minutes.

We're working on fixing this though. Velocity will help a lot since it will make all starts "warm" as far as cache is concerned. I'm also doing some DB work to make our schema simplier and easier to query. We're also bringing a bigger SQL box online to handle the load better. I have no ETA on these changes but know that we're working on them.

We have a few more visible tweaks that are coming soon that I think you guys will enjoy.
