Forum page randomly takes forever to load

SultanGris · #1 12-15-2005, 08:56 PM

Just wondering if anyone else ever has this problem, as it seems to only happen on this forum. when i click the link of a topic, most of the time it pops right up, but sometimes it takes up to almost a minute to come up. i have high speed internet, and havent noticed the problem anywhere other than this forum, and not all the time, it only happens occasionally, most of the time its fine, am i crazy or does it happen to anyone else?

I have 6Mb service at home, Multiple OC lines at the lab. One thing remains constant over both...

This forum is as slow as an old country hound in July. It gets there eventually, but not without a lot of panting and wheezing along the way. :P

It comes and goes for me as well.

This seems to be a very common problem on a few discussion boards I visit.
If popular, expect delays at random times.

I know a few of the regular members that don't come around much anymore because it was almost impossible for them to navigate the forums with dial-up.

I've got 1.5Mbps and some pages take over a minute to load. I use firefox and take advantage of the "tabs" feature..... while I'm reading one thread, I've got three more loading in new tabs.

loading of the homepage isn't bad but switching in between the say the blazer homepage and different threads is very slow. I have high speed cable internet service.

If you guys have the patience to try to learn something new, try linux. I've got my laptop set up to dual boot XP and Linux. When running the linux OS, I don't have delays.

strange part is that for me at least, it doesnt lag often, but when it does, its freakin excessive, like 50 seconds, then after that its fine for a long time,
