Default Why is this website so slow when it loads?

Great forum. Really. Great resource that has helped my during my rebuild.

But what the hell guys?! It's a message board! No matter what computer I'm on this forum hangs or takes a while to load when trying to view the index/forums.

I was going to contribute some $$ but not if I'm going to get frustrated every time I try to get on.

Need more information.

Would this happen to be where you see the top section (LS1Tech logo and navigation bar) load but everything below that isn't loaded until X seconds later?

If so, when did this start and how long of a delay is occurring? What browser are you using?

I have never had a problem with the forum being slow. I'd check out your internet connection(s) first.

That's exactly what's happening. I'll see everything uptop and a then it takes about a minute or more to load the forum index.

This happens with IE8 (WinXP), IE9(WinUltimate), and Firefox. All my rigs at home are hardwired to the internet. The one's outside of home, some are wifi, some are hardwired.

But today around 6pm EST it was hanging bigtime. Took about 2 minutes for the forum to appear.

I too am having this problem. Just like the OP, I am using IE8. No problems with my connection either.

I've been seeing this for a while now (maybe 1-2 weeks or so?). I figured it was just a bug that would be fixed shortly.

Mine's fast most of the time but every once in awhile it shows just text. Usually fixes it once I reload it.

I'm in the same boat. I know for a fact it's not my internet because it can handle playing halo pretty smoothly. If you play halo then you know that it sucks some massive bandwidth. I think the speed of the site has to do with how many people are trying to connect to it at once.

IE8 loads everything slow. Get chrome or opera. That will help

I know for a fact though your computer shouldnt be the problem. I would try a new browser first off.

Sounds like you have modified Chrome. I would suggest disabling the extensions/add-ons and trying again. I don't have any issue with Chrome or Firefox and it doesn't appear that others are at this time. Thus it sounds like a local issue with your setup.
