Why is it taking such a long time to get pages up?I know it's not me as all else is normal...starting to loose interest,it's like watching grass grow

Hi,

I'm connecting from Portugal and I think it's quite speedy.
When did the problem started? Since the server update? (26 March)

daniel

From Pacific coast USA it seems quick enough, about the same as last month.

Hi Daniel,yeah it's intermitant and started with the change over.
Eg.it seems to occur when switching forums mainly,running down from reply to reply is fine but then selecting the home button often takes an eternity,then the same once home,selecting,say the classifieds forum....waiting,waiting.
As i said it's intermittant but not exclusive to my specific description.
Thanks for your efforts with all this anyway Daniel,i guess we would all be screwed without you guys.
Cheers
Rob

Edit: As an exercise i just timed the time it took (after completing and sending this original unedited post)and watching it come back up from the moment i touched the home tab in the main menu till i had the home page come up took 97 seconds.

Yes, I have seen that too, intermittently a page will get stuck partially loaded. Refresh button loads it immediately.

Hi,

97 seconds is slooow!
That's not an easy problem to solve as I can't replicate it and the server is not over-loaded. But I will try!

While you wait, if you hit refresh does it reloads fast?
Can you find any kind of pattern? (time of day, front page loading (The front page it's the heavier page to create))

Thanks.

Good morning(my time)
As usual,i'v come and checked emails,banking etc.then opened this site,front page...fine,notice that my slow thread on top of main page so click to open...90 seconds to 2 minutes to open,now here i am typing.Will try and keep a log.
Cheers

Hitting refresh button took 2 minutes 12 seconds to return to main page and a further 2 minutes to re open this thread.
Come on you guys in Oz,help me out here,i've not changed any settings at my end nor added anything new,is this the reason i've noticed a drop off in chatter from the habitual(no offence)member typists?
Cheers

Hi,
Late night here
I'm monitoring the server and server log to try to find some thing.
Does a refresh, reloads the page fast?
Thanks
daniel

This page refreshed in about 3-5 seconds,after selecting this reply tab it took approx.90 seconds to come up.
