Is anyone else finding it extremely slow?!?!?

[Ghost]

alright reject that......sometimes it runs dead slow!

[JamieFRST]

Seems ok posting, but viewing posts is slow for me too.

[Superal]

speeds vary

[RS GEZ]

same here admin why?????????

[AdrianFRST]

I hear of problems but I've not experienced any since I used to access the site from work through an NTL connection.

I'm only on in the eve and weekends though.

Can anyone who finds it slow list the following:

- ISP & connection speed
- Browser
- Time of day it's slow
- What is slow to load: clicking a link and waiting for a response, the page loading (going from blank to loaded) etc.

Thanks!

ISP is Eclipse 8Mb Home 6Mb work
IE 7 & Firefox 2.0.0.3


Seems to be slow with IE and not firefox after doing a few tests, its slow all through the day and night with IE. Normally a slow response time when viewing and posting threads from clicking the link to something happening, actual page load time are fast images etc.

Firefox

Find it has mostly happened around 9-11pm

can last about 30mins and happens when I click any forum link, e.g new topic, reply, view forum etc.

It will then clear and work as normal. But when it does it it will take a good minute or more to load the page.

Often I manage to get through about 2-3 links of FSI or PF before coming back to a loaded page.

I will update when it has actually happened again

That is all.

About 11:50pm

Clicked a topic in Member's Gallery, and it took in excess of 3 mins or so for any response. Actual page loading time was slow, but nothing compared to the time it took to respond.

[andymac]

IE 7 sometimes gives the appearance of being slow due to off-screen prerendering.

Here we go again...

About 5:35pm

Clicked General Car Discusion, and it took probably over 5 minutes to do anything (a guess) and then the page just went blank for ages before actually loading up. Tried to go back to Index and it took ages again... Ended up falling asleep for about half an hour

It's running fine for me at the moment though... Odd.

Can you post your details like Mr. Boss Man has asked... Might help him figure out the problem

18:00-19:30

clicking on various forum catagorys and threads, takes a while, although posting a reply/thread takes even longer, although when i came here to type this it seemed ok, probably take 10 minutes to submit now

NTL / Virgin Media customers can use proxies here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker

Give that a go and report back - some NTL franchises use transparent proxies which are damn slow, and this has resolved some issues.

I can report that the site can be randomly slow - sometimes it works fine sometimes its quite slow.

It's stopped working time and time again today, but I'm afraid that's the norm these days I dropped Crapi an MSN rant once or twice, but it's so regular it hardly seems worth logging the times - particularly frustrating each time I try to edit the bigass T-shirt thread, and it freezes when clicking Submit, then the page cannot be found after several minutes.

No particular time of day

Site runs slowly in particular when trying to post replies to posts or new posts. It'll act like it's loading, then come up with a 'Page Not Found' error after about 3 or 4 minutes. Then when I return, I find that the post has actually been made. Quite often it'll do this a few times, and then revert to normal. I've also noticed that if I try to click any links (e.g. if I want to forget making the post and return to the index instead) while it's doing this, the same thing happens. Seems like the server just doesn't want to respond for a time.

EDIT: Oh the irony. It just did it while posting this. Then IE crashed. Argh!

[heeman10]

Happened to me all day again today. Would load the top of the screen on occasions, but only as far as the Index link before the "good stuff" starts. Every other time it refused to load anything at all

[Superal]

forum went funny about 1:50pm today..kept getting page cannot be displayed after delay of about 5mins when posting...went ok again about 2:10

[j7aoc]

Slow then my x-girlfriends

My third post...

About 12:15 to 12:20pm (today obviously)

Just waited for a page in Parts For Sale to respond; just took aaaages. Then it did something, screen stayed blank for a minute or so, then it loaded.

Seems ok for me at the moment, only 10 users online though

[heeman10]

Still routinely breaking down for anything between one and twenty minutes at a time, several times a day.

[Smo]

Wow, wasn't do a thing for me just now between 1:20 and 1:36ish pm.

[JamieFRST]

Ive been getting page not displayed for the last 15mins, then was logged out when I got back on.

[Smo]

Something seemed to get messed up during that 'dead' patch too...

I posted a reply in the Member's Gallery, which is currently top of the forum, but when you look at the last poster for that forum from the Index, it's sphinx, who posted about an hour and a half before... It's not cookies or anything at my end either

[Ghost]

right, couldnt log on at all just then for a 10 minutes.

All it did was continue trying to load a blank page and then timed itself out. Although it didnt say that, it just stopped trying to load and stayed on a blank white page.

[Peanut1]

Yes this site is getting worse tried three time to get onto it, 4th time lucky. And its been like this all day

[Ghost]

right, just got locked out again for about 5 minutes.

Wouldnt load.



Just to let you know, I'm not being a picky baxtered, I appreciate the running of the site. Just trying to help out improve things!

[heeman10]

I was locked out from about 9:20 till 9:50 or so, then 10:30 till 11pm ish...had submitted a reply, it didn't time out, but half an hour later when the site started working again, it hadn't posted my reply.

[black2]

Took me ages to load tonight.

Also i find at 1.00pm (my lunch break) weekdays it can be very very slow, i will try and find out the details our end for you.

Tis highly highly frustrating though.

got something for people to try (firefox users)

goto google and type

adblock plus

install it and then subscribe to all the block lists and then try FT

i find its all the advertising that slows this site down

[JamieFRST]

Ive got the adverts blocked in my hosts file and the forum is still slow for me.
