Am I the Only 1

However, prior to the upgrade, the slowness was mostly confined to the time it took to open/refresh the main index pages, while posting was relatively quick. But, now, for the past 2 days, just the opposite seems to be the case - index pages open within 10 or so seconds, but it is taking upwards of 30 seconds before a full reply page opens.

@Freddy,

I do think it is a matter of what combination hardware/operating system/browser combo you run.

I'm not at all technical, but do try to use newer things.

Have 2- 3 month old hardware, running Win 7 (release agent) and Chrome browser.

Lightning fast!

Have had 2 occasions only in the last days when I had maybe a 10-15 second lag opening reply windows.And had 1 instance when a page loaded very slowly, but I suspect it was a photo on that page, as the rest of the page loaded way quicker than this one photo.

Hope this helps.

As OS states try running on Chrome, the forum is as quick as I have seen it on my Chrome.

I can't seem to log in directly, if I go to the forums home page which shows GD, Sales Section etc.. it crashes, so I have to open my messenger and then press New Posts to see what's being discussed

@b16,

What browser?

If it is IE6.... either update, or try Chrome or Firefox.

This has previously fixed problems such as you are having.

I have IE...not sure which version though. The computer recently did some upgrading to the latest IE, but not sure which one that is. It has some new smart address bar that searches automatically as you type etc...?

I may try Firefox, I have heard good things about that!!

Nope Freddy, slow and clunky as hell on Safari 4.

Suppose that's my fault for being....what was it T called us Mac users?.....oh yes, that's right "Apple fanboys". Hmmm.

[b16a2]

Offshore, thanks for the tips. Just installed Firefox and it's working like a well oiled machine

Anyone having difficulty I would fully recommend Firefox web browser!

I'm running Safari 4, on a download which makes Vista emulate OS X. The forum loads pretty quick for me...

[freddy333]

Same experience from 3 PCs, each running a different OS & the latest versions of multiple browsers (Firefox, IE & Opera).

Since the delays are page-dependent (& only occur on RWG), I doubt it they are related to my connections.

Weird Freddie. I'm fine here on IE, Chrome and Firefox

Agreed...I'm using FireFox 3.5.1 and it's fine...

[siesta181]

Sloth slow on my IE. Worse still... page fails to open and the whole browser hangs.

[phaedo]

Slower than it used to be I think, but then I had no issues with slow loading before.

Now, now, Doc...let's not take things out of context here. Smiley is missing and as a general advice given in the thread where I posted this, I suggest people to try both Mac and PC and decide what is best for them. Now if you excuse me, I will have to go back to adding some more code that will make the site even slower for you

Apart from not being able to get past the login page at all initially, I'm noticing a massive speed increase since the upgrade. Massive as in I now can actually use the forum again instead of getting every second page timing out....

There is an easy sign on the bottom of the page which shows the time it took for the server to put out the page for your brownser to download. I get times varying around 0,3 seconds which is not lighting but faster then average. Unless this time is >1 the server/website is not the issue.
