Major Site Upgrade...Complete!
Our team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure that we have the most up-to-date version of our software. In true EN fashion, we had two race rehearsals and even some "live" issues....but we stayed in the box and here we are!!! 
If you have feedback or find issues, etc, please let us know by replying to any of our messages, as well as posting to this thread. We promise to squash them all!!!

**OPEN ITEMS** (Last Updated 09/23/2016)
- Site load time needs to be analyzed / improved.
- Forum preferences not accessible (to update signature) -- appears that forum software update to match site software is in Beta. As soon as it's live / safe, we'll update.
- Site search doesn't need to pull in user details, missing older content. Might need to re-index site at off-peak hours.
- Fix page size on mobile devices
- Side header inverted [08/25/2016 ]
- Word wrap in dashboard funky [08/25/2016 ]
- Main navigation should be left aligned [08/26/2016]
- Posting to Forum is Critical Error (note, just go back in browser and re submit, should be good).
- Mobile pages unable to login.
- [08/27/2016] Fixed by returning dashboard code to original state.
- Workouts, whats new, strava not on the right side of the screen on mobile device
- [08/31/2016] Implemented code so all mobile device users are routed automatically to Mobile Friendly Dashboard
- [08/27/2016] Created a Mobile Friendly Dashboard.
- [08/26/2016] Initial review shows it's the journal widget on the dashboard @ 100 items and many photos. We have reduced it to 40 items and implemented code that resizes all images to 400px. There was one t-shirt image that was over 10MB! We will keep testing as we look to move forward with tech changes.

There is probably one task that is taking the majority of the load time.
Have the developer setup timers after each discreet part of the load process and then you can start improving the slowest process first.
Perhaps retrieving the dashboard data is what takes the most time?
If so, this could be cached on your server and "refreshed" every 5 minutes (or whatever time interval you like).
That way, if 30 people hit the site in between refreshes, they get the cached data and the database doesn't have to be queried. That makes this process go from a few seconds to under 1 second (or something like that)
Coach P,
Word wrap on the dashboard is not working. Words are brok
en up at line carriages. Other than that nothing else that I've seen.
This link says "the service is unavailable": http://members.endurancenation.us/ActivityFeed/ForumSettings/tabid/121/UserId/475/Default.aspx
However, if there is an inefficient process or an unoptimized database query, upgrading to an SSD will not help in any noticeable way.
My 30 years of experience in software development is guessing that there is something going on in the load process of the dashboard that is highly inefficient. Throwing faster hardware at the problem won't make that big of an impact.
An idea...it could be the images that are loading in the dashboard feed. Try disabling images and see what that does to the load time. That's a very easy to try possible solution.

Oh, thank god! I thought I was going crazy. I am having the same issue on my iPhone. It is impossible to login. No matter I what I do or how I try and back into it, I keep landing on a login page with no place to type any information. There are no fields for username and password. It just loops back to the same page. I have not been able to gain access from my iPhone in a day, maybe two.
Ditto That. Following.
In addition, now have put a link to a Mobile Friendly Dashboard View that you can click on (or save) until we can get the site to automatically redirect the tablet / smartphone crowd!
Getting pretty spiffy!
@dino, confused. I click Menu, then Forums and I see them all on my iphone.
Yasko, I get that 1x every few days...it's a security feature that I don't know how to adjust on my end. Can you try a few more times and let me know next week?
Also, during the last team update one of the announcements was that we will be able to move someone else's post if it has been placed in the wrong forum. I am not seeing the "Move" button to the the right of the "Alerts" button as instructed.
The post I wanted to move was in "The Pulse" forum and has been moved already. It looks like posts in only some of the forums are moveable so this doesn't appear to be an issue. The "Move" button does appear in the other forums. Disregard my previous comment.
Thank you.
See the Search field in the top right of the page. This is a more robust search that includes all of the posts in the forum as well as pages in the wiki, etc.
Yup... Tried that. it generally just searched members or former members names... but really generic searches sort of worked (for things in the "Wiki" or things like "Macro Forum", but those are generally easy to find without a search).
For instance, I know there is an "Official Bike Porn" thread... But if you try to search for "Porn" or "Bike Porn", it certainly doesn't come up. I figured "Porn" was something that would be pretty narrow and specific inside of EN. Also, I can remember multiple threads over the years that discuss Lance Armstrong, but if you search for "Lance" or "Lance Armstrong" or "Doper", no threads come up.
Thoughts?
Hey, how come I can't edit my "Forum Settings"? All I get it "the service is unavailable". I wanna change my sig line!
