MrObsessive Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Okay, I'm not one to complain about connection speeds at peak times of the day, but is anyone alse having a slow time of getting on at oddball times of the day? I'm usually on early in the morning when I get home from work (around 7:30AM ET) and I have a heck of a slow time opening the board------------On the weekends I can be up early in the morning, say 2 or 3 AM and it's still slow! It's kinda frustrating too when you want to post but hit the reply button again, only to find that you've double posted. I'm on Comcast with the latest and greatest OS, so it shouldn't be the computer............I'm also not noticing any slowdown with a graphics heavy website such as eBay............. GREGG!!
Zoom Zoom Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Painfully slow here, too. Not as bad right now, but it's slow all the time and ridiculously slow during peak hours. Maybe Model Cars is on Kalmbach's server? That one's painfully slow as well.
Tom Kren Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Same here been slow for awhile the boad th at is!
Lyle Willits Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Takes about 3 minutes for a post to load. Other sites are working fine. GREGG - did you pay your electric bill?
crispy Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Minnesota checking in. I thought the lines were just getting rusty, slowing down my speed. But now that I see you guys are having problems, the lines must be clean. Dreadfully slow here as well. Chris
Len Woodruff Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Bill it has been a pig for the last week or so!
george 53 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Guy's I just De-fragged my computer last nite cuz it was movin too slow to.But now this mornin(Sat.) It seems to be alright. I dont know jack about comps. but my daughter does an she said that sometimes it doesn't hurt to clear it out.Sooo, about once a month I do it.
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 It's not the computers. It's just this board site that's been slow, all the others are just fine.It seems to be fine this morning though.

It seems to be alright. George, I run an automatic defrag which runs every Sunday morning. Defragging has more to do with your OS's programs and such and shouldn't affect 'net speed. It's a good thing to do though as well as clearing out the temp files as well. And yes, it does seem a wee bit faster this morning here in Central PA, but still way too slow compared to other sites. As an aside, I'm listening to music on Rhapsody as I type this, and the music isn't skipping or hanging up........so maybe it's a server problem on the board's end.
Darrell Gwinn Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 its been runnin fine and dandy here, i guess im just lucky. lol
Fuel Coupe Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 its been slow here for about a week as well....
robertw Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 It's been slow here as well. I've been noticing it for the last couple of weeks. I just assumed that it was my older computer although I hadn't noticed the difference on other websites. Rob W
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Guys, it's got to be their server. All the other sites I've been to work great. I do know a bit about computers and mine is squeeky clean, and my download speed is 1.5 megs. so I know it's not my IP causing it. Maybe Gregg needs to say something to their IT man or someone.
CAL Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Yeah, I am running Comcast cable, which is consistantly one of the fastest connection out there, and it's be slow here.
Brendan Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I'm on dial up and it's been taking me about 5 minutes to get onto the message board. And about 30 seconds to a minute to get into the topics. But all the other websites I've been to seem to be running at a faster speed. Maybe the aliens are coming to invade.
george 53 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Guys, I got on this morning and it was like,rightnow! now at 5.20(DEEEtroit time) its takin anywhere from 30sec. to125sec. to hook up. I dont know nuthin bout computers so I cant say whats happnin,but it seems like a long time to me!
Ron L Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 It's been going downhill for me for the past few weeks. I don't visit or read as much anymore due to the slowdowns which are definitely getting worse. I hit reply on one thread and yes I only clicked once, waited a few minutes, walked away, and when I came back it had posted my reply twice.

Raul_Perez Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Well, it's still faster than waiting for the magazine to arrive!! Just kidding, Gregg!! You know that we all love the magazine!! And if I didn't have two kids in college sucking my wallet dry, I'd ask Harry to draw a picture for me! His work is truly amazing!!
lordairgtar Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 This sight is slow, it's always been slow. I just accept it.
Ray Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Same as Mr. Fluck, I have always found this board slower to load. But, lately just as everyone else within the past week or so it's been painfully slow.

ramonesblues Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 it's been slow for me for about 4 months, and I have a dsl connection. Other sites are very fast. It took me about 40 seconds to access this thread.
