I'm finding the instances of extremely loooong "Waiting.." to be far more frequent since the new server. I tend to load another tab and another site while waiting so I can check it's not my system - It's not.
Once it's eventually loaded it's fast but I've actually quit the site a few times because nothing was loading.
Anyone else experiencing long delays?

I think you just got a bit older robin! Haha!

Except that they say that life is like a toilet roll - The less you have left, the faster it goes!
Not complaining about the site but just giving feedback. It happens when simply loading the next or previous page and not just when posting or navigating.

Ive found the same think RR. Seems to be a lot slower for me. :happy2:
-
^^^^
It's not constant, but just occasional and random. Perhaps it's just traffic volume induced. I'm guessing.. I don't know.
-
Seems slower for me also. Alot tonight?
-
Slower for me too, but hasn't thrown me off since we had the new server, which annoyed me more!!
-
Is it on a dedicated server now?
I get occasional Server 500 Errors.
-
After the last "5 min" down period, when i hit back button on my browser the unread post page i get back to isn't updated (removed the tread i had just read) :sad1:
-
Slower for me too, and it's 'timed out' a few times since............... :sad1:

It's hung a fair few times for me today, some of the animated signatures people have don't help matters :ashamed:

I too have noticed that. Would be helpful if all signatures were binned? Perhaps a trial period? I wonder if we all had a 'weeding' session to delete old PM's, etc, it would assist?
I am not IT trained, perhaps if anyone could expand on this? Or tell me it would not work?
(flack jacket is on, and hatches are battened!)

Fair points Dave, but it's not the pictures that are causing the general slowing down, these should only affect the speed at which certain points in a page loads.
Thats because the images are hosted on a another webserver (like photobucket) and will load as quickly as your connection will download them.
I am still working on finding the root cause of the peak time speed issues.
-
What about limiting searches to say every 30 seconds etc?
-
.
Sorry to report that after behaving well last few days it's back to rather extreme "Waiting.." following normal speed "Connecting.."
I've been in and out since this afternoon but randomly happening all day when I've been online.
It's as if the server can't cope with the traffic, but I'm only guessing.
-
Same here Robin, I have sent an email to Steve to see if we can find out whats going on! :happy2:
-
Very strange that. I'm on most times of the day and never once had any problems
-
I am aware of the issues and will looking into them.
But please bear with me for a few days as I am flat out at work for the next week or so.

^^^^
Of course :happy2: Understand you being so busy.
Thanks for everything you do to keep this site going so well :drinking:
-
Guys, think i may have found one of the reasons the forums has been going slow at times.
Have a check next time its going slow, and see if it coincides with somebody sending you a PM. :happy2:
Havn't got a clue how to fix it though. :star:

for me it really bogs down with the gif sigs :fighting2:

I was going to say as much, its Photo bucket who is hosting the gif's all it is on the site is a link.
Just be patient chaps i have been getting slow speeds nearly all the time since the swap. PG is on it but he has a lot on in the real world at the moment. :happy2:
