Board Slowdown/Hang-Ups?

[Ksyrup]

Since late last week, I've noticed that the board has gotten slower. I'll either get hung up trying to load the general discussion forum and have to refresh, or within a thread, the posts will appear one at a time and I'll have to scroll down through them. This is happening on both my work and home computer.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?

[cartman]

Yep, I've noticed it as well. Not so much the hanging load, but definitely the one at a time appearing of the posts.

[Tigercat]

Phew, I figured since no one mentioned it it was just my computer being a bitch.

[fantastic flying froggies]

I'm in the same boat and also thought it was my own PC, which has been acting very weird lately...

At least, I'm not alone..

[JeeberD]

I haven't really noticed anything, but I wasn't on the board very much this weekend...

[Cringer]

Phew, I figured since no one mentioned it it was just my computer being a bitch.

That is what I was thinking too. I is definetly happening to me.

[MikeVic]

Yeah, it's happened to me recently too.

[albionmoonlight]

ditto

[Suicane75]

This has been happening to me for months now. Not alot, but every once in awhile, and when i hit refresh it becomes fine again. I just assumed it was my comp.

DEJA VU! Me too!

[Coffee Warlord]

Heh. And here I was just blaming it on my substandard connection.

[TLK]

Make room for me in this boat.....

[Flame Eater]

ditto, again, for me too. (Is that redundant?)

[hhiipp]

This issue has gotten much worse over the last week for me, am I just imagining it or is everyone else noticing it too?

[Ksyrup]

I've been meaning to bump this - I've been experiencing the same problems since last weekend and through this week.

[hhiipp]

At times the board is almost unsurfable for me, click on a thread and it'll update 1 reply at a time with 10-15 seconds in between each update.

[JeeberD]

Haven't been having any problems (still).

*shurg*

[Ben E Lou]

Haven't been having any problems (still).

*shurg*Yeah, this is odd. I haven't noticed any slowdowns at all, and I just tried it with Firefox, IE, and Opera.

[sovereignstar]

I'm having this problem every time I visit the board and it is REALLY ANNOYING for me, since I'm on dial-up already. For those that are having the problem, what browsers are you using?

[hhiipp]

I have problems with IE, Avant, and FF.

[Ksyrup]

IE. My main problem is when I either refresh this forum or when I click on the forum from the page listing all of the forums. I get the top of the page right away, then the rest takes 30 seconds or so to show up (it might take longer, but when it persists, I just X out and start fresh with a new page. I also get the same type of hang-up on individual threads, but not as often.

Yeah, that is my exact problem. I use Firefox, but by the looks of it it's not a browser problem.

[JeeberD]

The rest of you aren't losers like sov and on dial-up, are you?

[Ksyrup]

Not me. I've got DSL at work and cable at home and it happens at both places.

[hhiipp]

DSL for me.

[JeeberD]

Weird...

[Buzzbee]

Happened to me yesterday. Threads would appear one post at a time for about 8-10 posts and then finally I would get a burst of posts. I use IE on an office LAN.

[BrianD]

DS3 here, and I occasionally see the slowdown as well.

[Ksyrup]

Despite the fact that I haven't posted to this thread in a few weeks, my problems have continued. It's just getting back to the point of annoyance where I felt like digging this thread back out and calling attention to it again. It doesn't happen every time, but about half the time I'm on the board, this forum and/or a thread I click on hangs, and I usually have to refresh once or twice (or just shut the browser down and start over) before it works properly.

[Blackadar]

It continues to happen to me at work (DSL, IE) and at home (cable modem, Firefox).

[hhiipp]

More of the same for me as well. Assuming it will be something that we'll just have to deal with if we want to continue frequenting the board.

[JeeberD]

I had a problem with this one day last week, but that was the only time I've seen it...
