JerseyRed Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I seem to be having problems whenever the Ram 1500 ads are on the page. Pages aren't loading and replies are taking forever to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 This is getting frustrating to have to wait 30 seconds for the page just to load! There's been times today where I've just given up and moved on to other sites it's been so slow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMCMAN52 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Here I thought that it was my system that was so slow. now I see that I'm not alone with the site being so slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I am also getting that pop up message. I run an ad blocker and it is still pretty slow.I know it is limited on what can be done on the admin end. The only other option would be to switch to another program and/or server. Unfortunately, that would probably mean we would have to pay to use this site. Not to mention the extra work that would create for someone. Keeping a popular site up and running isn't cheap.I think most of us can put up with the site being slow, even if it is a bit aggravating at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Im seeing the this comment can no longer be edited box... And also all my "unread" boxes that take me to where i left off are gone. I don't think this is related to the slowness, but I also noticed the missing UNREAD labels and found a solution here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRACING Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I notice on my iPad the ads often cause the page to have an error and reload sometimes multiple times. No problems on regular computers since just use adblockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
426-Hemi Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm getting a message that tells me that a thread I CAN see, that I posted but to reply to it, I get a message that the topic doesn't exist and is unavailable???? Whats going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ambrose Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I don't know if this is the problem, but it's definitely a problem.I've been experiencing intermittent slowdowns for a while. They didn't seem to correlate to anything happening on this site, and a few other sites were affected too. But, as I discovered last night, having a Facebook tab caused my Firefox browser to consume memory like there's no tomorrow. It eventually fills its memory and things slow to a crawl. I started closing my Facebook tab, and things have been working much better.I don't know if this is affecting anyone else, but I put it out there as something to try.

426-Hemi Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Dave,I don't have a "Facebook tab" on my computer.... Where would this "facebook tab" be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Dave,I don't have a "Facebook tab" on my computer.... Where would this "facebook tab" be?He is referencing the fact that he had his Facebook page open and it was running simultaneously as the MCM forum and they both consumed "internet energy" and it seemed to be contributing to the problem.If you don't do Facebook, then it doesn't apply to you, however, if you have other web pages open, it can cause a slowdown. Kind of kinking the water hose and slowing down the flow of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
426-Hemi Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Yeah that I can see, but I don't get the "slow down" I simply getting a "404 Error Message can not be found" on topics I've created.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I have noticed it seems to be slower around 2 to 5 Am eastern time for me. I only have one tab open most of time anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic trucker Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 For me it seems to the slowest at around 4:30 PM Central Time. Then it clears up a short time later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 It appears to me when I first open the site everything is normal. However after opening two or three posts it begins to slow way down, sometimes taking 30-45 seconds to open a post. This only happens on this particular forum.

This only happens on this particular forum.This is what happens to me as well, I just wait it out. I also run the AdBlocker that comes with Firefox and get the same results if it is on or off.Another thing to look out for is Auto Updates to some of your programs. My wife recently had to roll back to previous install of Chrome because the latest update was playing havoc on her computer and giving her the Blue Screen of Death. All went away when she went back to older version.So not all problems are automatically caused by this or any other website. Our computers can do funny things if things are not perfect, there are so many versions of the major programs we use that it is hard to keep optimum compatibility with them all.

MrObsessive Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 So not all problems are automatically caused by this or any other website. Our computers can do funny things if things are not perfect, there are so many versions of the major programs we use that it is hard to keep optimum compatibility with them all. Ain't that the truth! I'm in the middle right now of what looks to be a big fat update from Microsoft on my desktop (running Windows 10).I dread this sometimes as it never fails there will be some program that doesn't like the update, and then I have to put on my computer geek hat to sort out why and what program won't play nice. It's no wonder more and more people are switching to tablets (I have a Samsung one) as they're a bit more user friendly when it comes to updates, but I hate trying to type on those things. Not to mention the puny hard drive space most give you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
