Better Forum Access Worldwide – Now Powered by QUIC.cloud CDN

[UK Sentinel]

I’ve recently introduced the QUIC.cloud CDN to our forum to improve performance for everyone, especially members visiting from further away or overseas.

What does this mean for you?
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) stores copies of our site on servers around the world. When you visit the forum, content is delivered from the server closest to your location rather than from a single UK-based server.

The benefits:

• ⚡ Faster page load times, particularly for international users
• 🌍 Improved performance for members browsing from abroad
• 🔄 Reduced lag when viewing topics and replies
• 🛡️ More reliable access during busy periods

For UK users, you may not notice a huge difference day-to-day, but for members further afield, this should make the forum feel much quicker and more responsive.

I am looking at other options including Image and Page optimization but for now trying to ensure CDN is stable and offering value.

As always, if you notice anything unusual or have feedback, feel free to let us know.

Yes, really a bit faster now.

No further approvements necessary now from my perspective.

You could make me happy if you make login time longer or even persistent.
Every week (or 2) I have to login again, this is the only forum where this is neccessary.

@Grisu – I can if you wish, look at 30–90 days options as I appreciate this is an annoyance especially if you are a forum member visiting frequently, using a personal device.

I’ve updated how long the forum keeps forum members logged in when you choose “Remember Me” at login.

• Your login can now stay active (logged in) for up to 90 days and this should make it easier to stay signed in on your regular devices.
• Nothing else about your account or privacy has changed and I will update the Cookie policy over the next couple of days to capture this minor change.

Thank you @Grisu for you positive guidance

@Grisu – as a follow on as its has now been nearly three weeks, is the new cookie policy ‘stay active’ (logged in) working for yourself, any issues ?

yes, everything fine, still logged in.

Only that I have a new black line now on top which should not be I think. Seems to be something for admins, Ad Health always showing a red 1.

Great news about logging in times being extending and working well.

Next time you are online, could you screen capture this ‘Black Line’ and ‘Add Health’ ?

Many thanks
