Thanks for all the hard work that goes into this site, and constantly trying to make it better. i know how big of a pain it can be.

Thanks, Chris

Works fine know for me. But all day it was slower than a Honda(dial up). It seems like Wenseday it was fine but the whole rest of the week was all slow, all day.

Nah I'm new so I was just pitching in what I noticed, not thinking of the fact you probably already knew that. Guess I should have all the way through 1st

Nope, that's the finished page. It does that often and sometimes won't even start to load unless you refresh it multiple times.

gillbot, I'm wondering if it's just giving up -- because it eventually should have loaded. How about when performance is normal, do you still miss images or is it only when the servers are acting up?

Happens to me only when the servers are acting up.

I haven't gotten "normal" performance in weeks. Images always fail to load on nearly every page. Sometimes the pages appear to load quickly but when you scroll, many of the images are red x's. Usually, when I browse here, i'll open three pages or so, then come back about 10 minutes later to check their progress. Sometimes they are finished loading, other times they aren't.

What about now? Everything is hauling *** today and I've been checking in every 30 minutes or so.

Still sluggish here.

It goes through periods where it seems to load sections fine but when you try to open a specific thread, it just craps out.

gillbot

It must just be the route it's taking to get here or something.

That's still not bad at all, but I can understand those ping times -- the servers are now in the Los Angeles area, whereas they were in Houston before.

Still as slow as Xmas. Brains, how about fixing the site instead of talking smack to the people who are saying it's still slow? They are posting for a reason.

Here lately, site speed has been OK browsing sections/categories but when I try to open individual threads, that's whe it REALLY gets slow. 5+ minutes per page to load usually.

It's back to normal now, and it was very slow here over the last 2-3 days. Keep up the good work, I know smaller forums that have more problems then this and have 1/4 of the members.

The problem is, many people aren't giving me any DETAIL. It's like taking your car to the shop on a flatbed, sealed in a shipping container with the door welded shut, and saying "it's broke fix it." To me, those people have no business posting, because they're just adding noise.

To those of you adding in details, even subtle ones, give me some place to start. I've noticed some occasonal slowdowns here and there, but overall the site speed is definitely usable. From this point on, I need very specific scenarios to follow and must be able to reproduce the issues. Before clicking "post reply" ask yourself -- can I give enough detail? If the answer is no, please click the red X in the upper right hand corner instead.

I understand your frustration but it's hard to give further details when everything runs at an OK speed except for the actual thread page loads.

Opening categories works with minimal slow downs. If you can't reproduce it on your end, I don't know what else to suggest other than asking for advice on tests or checks to run. I already tried the standard delete cookies and etc.

The only thing I can see here is some (very minor) packet loss and ping times 2x higher than most other sites I visit. My guess is the page starts to load then something causes a slowdown and IE7 just gives up.

man it is bad sometimes,on my end when the page loads then it takes about 1 min to load all the sponsers on the right,then when i pick a thread it takes about 30 to 40 sec before it shows up,i have DSL hope this helps,this is on normal day on bad day i scream and run around the house because i lost my conection with my life=ls1tech.
