Forums are extremely slow

[taq8ojh]

...during the last week or so. Sometimes clicking on a link produces several seconds long waiting. Really weird. Are there any technical problems or something?

3/15/2014 -- The Boyz In The Server Room, the exalted and munificent Powers That Be, have released the sacred incense and murmured the appropriate incantations in order to appease the Gods of Forum Loading Time. Chime in with any results -- good or bad, that you have noticed. And, yes, it IS the Ides of March!

Still slow sometimes for me.. i think it's due to some .doubleclick.. script or something..

 

[Dude111]

Thankfully the site seems GOOD here

 

[Krazy4Real]

forums went derp for me.

I thought you were all nucking futs but it just happened to me.

Change the hamster!

This seems to come and go, I also noticed sometimes when I post a reply it just hangs forever. I've even given up waiting figuring "meh that post is not that important" and move on, and the post somehow actually does show up later! How that is possible I have no idea, since if you interrupt a HTTP POST request you would think it just cancels it.

I would think the info has been received at the other end and is queued up

Just not "processed" and return page transmitted

Still seeing very slow forums today, at least for me. Posting is fine, but they are very slow to load.

 

[jacktesterson]

slow here. single user on a 80 MBit connection

 

[Dahak]

Been seeing this my self too across 2 different machines. it will either take a while to load the whole post or sometimes it will load the first item in the post and then waits and then loads the rest of the post

 

[Steltek]

Still seeing it today, even worse than before. For me, it seems to be the worst when moving from one forum to another (initial forum loads are very, very slow).

 

[Keysplayr]

Yes, forums are getting worse by the day. Right now it's at the point where I keep thinking my browser has crashed. Time to upgrade those servers to Intel chips!!

 

[jacktesterson]

Yep same here. Dog Slow on the weekend.

I would say 11 thousands of people online... lol. At least that's roughly the number I noticed everytime there were slowdowns.

 

[Dude111]

Hmmmmmmmm Im glad its ok here!!! (Pretty fast as always at the momento)

 

[VirtualLarry]

database error?

 

[EagleKeeper]

30+ seconds for any page to be displayed

 

[slashbinslashbash]

I'm having slowness issues, and the "recently replied threads" function in User CP is super slow to update as well. I'll go there, click on a thread, go back to User CP, the same threads (and same recent posts) are still there. They update/disappear only after some length of time.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

still extremely slow

 

[007ELmO]

how are the rest of websites loading for you danglre

 

[Bubbleawsome]

I'll just add that is is random for me. Sometimes instant sometimes I will triple post because it hangs. 45/4 internet.

 

[Gigantopithecus]

Random slowness here as well despite all other sites loading as usual, regardless of whether I'm at home, in my office, or in my lab.

 

[007ELmO]

What are you doing in your lab, gorilla?

 

[Gigantopithecus]

Dissecting cadavers.
