why 90% of the time when I try to reply to a thread it just sits there?

I had no problem responding to your post. Has it been that way for awhile or just started? What are you running DSL, cable or dial up? Are you using a PC or Apple? What operating system?

troy1 · 05-23-2006, 10:15 PM

It been like this off and on for me for awhile. Cable, PC XP Srv. Pack 2 all up to date. I'll just see how long this takes. I tried at noon never got anything posted.

Edit. Sh#t that was quick

it worked for once.

Hard to say where the problem is Troy. I've noticed AF still has some minors issues and it depends on traffic.

Sometimes doing basic PC maintenance helps out. Run a defrag on the hard drive. Make sure no adware/spyware is running in the background or using memory. Also, in the Internet Explorer browser under Tools/Internet Options clear out old history files and delete the old temporary internet files to include all off line content to clear out the cache. Every little bit helps.

If it was recently Troy, we all had issues. I stayed off for a while a few weeks back because it took forever to get anything to post. Everything has been peachy for me lately though, so hopefully for you as well. AF rules, and they ain't kiddin' when they say "may cause dependency",

Just think how it would be running dial up 56K. BTW - DSL is still the best.

I've got 3mb download and 512K upload. shouldnt be slow..... I can bang around the site a light speed but when it comes time to post/reply might as well be 56k..

Do you know anyone else in your area with the same ISP? With business class 512K upload it should not be an issue. The AF end looks good. We haven't had any complaints since the last episode that I know of.

Bob, posting and replying is very slow, dial up here, but other sites are much faster, even navigating while I am waiting for AF to finish uploading a post or open a forum.

troy1 · 05-24-2006, 07:54 PM

No I dont know any one who uses the same service. But it is slow. Are you a adim/mod Bob?

When I'm in the Grand Prix forum I'm just a regular like anyone else but I am a Moderator. If you'd like like I can address the issue to AF Admin.

Let me know.

troy1 · 05-24-2006, 08:05 PM

Sure go to it. It seems for me that the longer the post/reply it just sits for long trying to post it.
