Forum Speed?
For a good few days now I've been noticing this forum has been running very slowly at times and doing some strange things.
I thought initially it was my ISP at home (Pipex) but it is the same at work (PlusNet).
These are the symptoms I'm getting.
The forum opens reasonably quickly to display the forum index most times although occasionally it can be very slow.
If I click on say, the Citroen sub-forum it can take ages and ages to open and frequently displays a blank page when the browser says "Done". I need to manually refresh the page to get the correct display.
The same happens when opening up a post or moving pages within a post.
Again, returning to the Forum Index can be very slow.
Paradoxically, posting works fine 99% of the time, as do PMs
I'm using IE7 both at home and work although I've noticed much the same when using IE6. I confess I have not tried any other browser.
All other forums I look at, including others using phpBB work absolutely fine.
Looks like the server needs a dose of the IT equivilent of Citarobics
Is anybody else seeing the same?

Have noticed the same here in Aus both at home and work. I suggest that there is something wrong at the server/host end. Perhaps either the host site is suffering a lack of bandwidth or there is a problem with perhaps the server data base.

Me too find it faster at the time of this writing.Xac wrote:Seems much faster today.
Over here in East England its been slow as well - very slow indeed the last couple of weeks.
Often when I open the forum link, I get the message 'site found, waiting for answer'. Waiting goes on and on, and suddenly page loading has finished - with a blank white page. Only thing to do is to restart the browser
Its my opinion that our server hotel environment suffers from some kind of web problems.

Well, I've accessed the forum from 3 different locations using Mac/PC
and a variety of different dialup speeds & browsers, and at differnt times of the day.
One thing that's been consistent sadly though, is that fact that it's been
frankly very sssssssssllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww!
Too many muppets trying to send links to Britneys bits?

It must be some problem with the actual net, because I noticed it slow a while back but no comments from your side of the pond, yet now you've commented, I find it is quite fast here in comparison to others and as at present I'm on slowed down service thanks to my sons, I am still not having the problems you guy seem to be.
I'll try asking questions.

It's 9.00pm now and it's the first time today since 8.00am I've actually
managed to get this forum working - the web home page worked but
the forum had a white screen in it's place with Debug Mode and "Critical
problem" with a few bibble-bobble lines of text trying to look all important.
Forgotten the things I was going to post here now though...
Very frustrated,
