Feedback Casinomeister now on a new server - please report any issues

[maxd]

OK, as the title says, we’ve migrated to a new server and site development environment! Two years in the making this has been and it’s great to be able to say that we’ve finally arrived!

We're still fine-tuning, so do tell us if anything looks off or if you have suggestions — we'll be happy to hear them and address them.

What this means for Casinomeister​

As many of you will have observed not much in the way of new/modern features have appeared on these forums in quite some time. The migration — which began as soon as Gentoo bought Casinomeister — had to freeze all such development until the migration effort was complete. And now it is! So now we can expect:

• new features.
• in time, better performance.
• the UIUX to evolve.
• us to finally be able to deliver some of the features you’ve been asking for.

What we ask of you​

First and foremost please report any bugs, glitches, WTFs you see. Replying here is a great place to do that.

Second, hit us with any feature requests — large or small — that you’d like to see, must have, think would be cool, etc. Again, here is probably a good place for that.

• please keep in mind that we can’t promise delivery times on these, but they will absolutely be taken seriously in our ongoing development plans.​

Ok, that’s pretty much it. Welcome to Casinomeister 3.0: The Gentoo Era.

When I click on a thread it takes ages to load, is it for everyone or just me?

Other sites seem to load with no issues.

 

[maxd]

Yup, we’re all seeing it. Dev guys are aware and working on it.

 

[dunover]

No issues here aside from every click is slower than Diane Abbott, then after 5-6 seconds it finally spits out the page you wanted to see.

 

[satchnz]

I'm not seeing new posts showing as unread. Every time I visit, all posts are marked as read.

EDIT: Also super slow for me.

 

[satchnz]

Getting the occasional Bad Gateway page too when trying to access the forums.

 

[maxd]

Yup, these Gateway issues are related to the laggy speed, I think, both should be improved now (done within the last 15 mins).

 

[L&L-Jan]

navigation is much slower yes

 

[satchnz]

I'm not seeing new posts showing as unread. Every time I visit, all posts are marked as read.

This seems to be working again.

 

[pereblue]

First of all CONGRATS whole team, that's one of the points that seemed neverending .. anyway I've tested forum and no-forum URLS and no issues found, perhaps a slower navigation experience over Forum Pages but nothing (at least using my Macbook and my Spanish IP) to be worried about. Seems previous features working fine ( geo IP blocking CTA's, etc...).

Salut!

 

[andysbetting1187]

Lots of issues my side - mainly due to the Mrs spending my money (according to her its our money, until a tax bill arrives then its my problem because its my money)

Site wise no issues

 

[Webzcas]

at least using my Macbook

I've converted yet another person to Apple. I should be on commission

 

[Reelsoffun]

Still same lag for me....

 

[2Slots]

Now seems to be loading as fast as it was before. Was very slow yesterday.

Has the image loading on the threads switched to in-view/lazy loading?

It makes sense to save bandwith with all the images that are uploaded and traffic you must get but will look like a delay/slower to unfamiliar users.

Also your accredited casinos list only has 5 casino showing and the images take slightly longer to upload when attaching files (this one is only 24kb before uploading but had the same delay as screenshot from yesterday).

 

[Kroffe]

Still a bit slower than it was before the change, for me at least, but fast enough to be usable.
Hmm.. is it usable or useable, maybe both words are useusable.

Anyway, if i could surive using a dial-up modem back in the 90s im sure i can survive this.

 

[SCATT3R]

I like it. Not sure what's changed, but the text feels somewhat softer to the eye. Especially on mobile

 

[YouTubeSlots]

Page loading times are slower, and uploading pictures is slower also is what i noticed.

all scams

 

[dunover]

It's in no man's land now, quicker than yesterday but noticeably slower than before the changeover.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Same here. Still much slower as it used to be but faster than earlier.

 

[Webzcas]

Yes experiencing the same. I am sure it will be resolved come Monday.

 

[teckiwi]

Older activity shows fine under latest actvity on profile but older post info under Postings is not shown for posts before the upgrade.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Well, Monday's come and gone and it's still slow as fck...

Loading a thread with screenshots is almost like the good old days on dialup.

Yeah it's oddly slower than it was when I made my previous comment on Friday.

Seemed back to normal for me when I commented then but today pages have loaded slower like they were when it went live.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
Aaaanyway, check out this hottie!

FWIW the slow response times have been reported many times now. DevOps says that they’ll do some major tweaking on Wednesday (tomorrow). Fingers crossed.

That said, many thanks for all the feedback here.

Not that i care that the image was removed, just wondering why was it removed?
I figured it would be ok to post since it didnt actually show anything 'naughty'.

Whats next, are you gonna start removing images posted by the nudists that frequent this site as well?

I didn't mean to be annoying.

Thank you for the update!

ie you can view my last weeks comments but none prior to that, incase thats unclear

 

[satchnz]

Whenever opening a thread that you've previously viewed to see new posts, the thread starts at the top then scrolls down to the newest post (for you). Totally unnecessary to do this and it only adds to the performance issues.

I was going to post a video showing this but I cannot be arsed uploading it to YT first.

 

[SYPlayer95]

[maxd]

I thought of my boss checking the forums and seeing that and wondered what I would tell him in defence of me leaving it as it was. “It wasn’t actually naughty” was one of the excuses that came to mind and that's not a position I want to be taking. The point is that I found it borderline inappropriate in this “official” CM thread and I’d rather not go there. I figured we’d both survive the take-down and so that’s what I did.

Um, yes, exactly!

 

[maxd]

No, no! I meant that there were many reports of the slowness, many from the Staff, so you’re in good company.

Fair enough, it will take some time but i will hopefully make a full recovery.
I actually edited the gif before posting it, the original also stopped before showing anything but it got very very close. =)

I am relieved.

We thank you for your sacrifice.

I see nobody has mentioned the Search function on the site.
It has imo always been a bit wonky, but it has become worse now.

Went to search for the 1000x thread by searching for titles only and putting '1000x' as the search.
No results.
Tried searching for winner screenshots to see if the one from this month would show up.
One result from back in December 2025.

Unless im doing something wrong the search function is a bit broken.

 

[Mr Shine]

Search for your own or somebody else's posts, it only goes back to when the update went live.

 

[teckiwi]

Also at the bottom of the page

How does it find the December 2025 thread if thats the case?

 

[maxd]

We believe the issue with the Search is that it takes time to reindex after a site re-start.
The re-index should now have been done.
For instance now if I search for the “1000x” I get results going back to 2014.
And if I Search for my own posts I get the max search results, 200 or whatever it is set to.

 

[Mr Shine]

If I search my posts I get 1 post

If I search @Kroffe I get posts up to last Friday and no further, same with everybody else.

Getting around the site is akin to trying to get around your lover who is trying to tell you she has a headache without actually saying she has a headache

I'm not sure if this is the kind of issue you mean, but I got this error twice when trying to visit this site earlier.

"An exception occurred: [ErrorException] [E_WARNING] pack(): Type H: illegal hex digit in src/addons/AddonsLab/Licensing/Encoder.php on line 22"

Confirmed, I see the same. Obviously that needs looking into. Thanks for reporting it.

I only just discovered this when trying to find the name of the Shady Lady rep on here. I searched for Shady Lady and it only returned results from the most recent thread on this provider. Then I saw your post above.

Hiya.
I got this error at 1023 this morning:

[Webzcas]

Devs are currently working on the site search functionality. The error you got @TomLis should now no longer appear

 

[SMaster]

Hi
I also confirm: search functions don't work properly now. Just double check it please.

 

[Webzcas]

Looks like the search index rebuild has now completed. Old threads and I mean very old threads now being returned accordingly where appropriate.
