Forum website has been sluggish for the last few days

[TarheelRick]

Just cleared my cache site still extremely slow to navigate through. Hope we can get it resolved soon.

[Zippi]

It's been really slow ever since the switch to the new server.  When I click to reply to a post it will either spin for a long time and finally go or it won't go at all.

Is anything being done to correct this? It gets worse every day.

i have been having issues for almost a week  with the forum opening when i click on the bookmarked link and it is just a big blank white page for like two minutes then then it appears  
and then i can navigate i have not noticed any lags when typing replies or posting  or sending messages just when i go to open the site

I sure hope something is being done.

Will the moderator please give us an idea if/what is being done please.  And thanks.

I’ve stayed off for a few days because it seems every thing was real slow loading. Now tonight, I logged in and it seemed to get worst. Anyone else having this problem? From logging in, to selecting a board, to posting. 

[Ace-Garageguy]

It's working great right now.

Anybody who's ever worked on anything knows how hard it is to diagnose intermittent problems.

There's a whole 4-page topic on this over where it's supposed to be, and it's been going on for a long time.

Yes. Really Slow. I've gotten 'Error' messages at least 4 times today.

I have reall noticed it the last couple of days…

working at a snail's pace in Ohio, wonder how long it will take to load this post....

It's not working great for me, It's slower than ever.

Yup, that's the frustrating nature of whateveritis.

Sometimes it works great for some while it hangs interminably for others.

Right now it's hanging very randomly for me.

I've been having issues all day.

I run Firefox as my browser, and I can't tell if it is a problem or now.

When I open the forum on my phone, it is really bad, too.

[StevenGuthmiller]

It's been particularly bad for the past couple of weeks for me.

At first, I thought it was something with my I-phone, but then I realized that it was doing the same thing on my desk top, so it's not on my end.

It's gotten so bad at times that I'll abort my visit to the board because it takes too long to load.

This is one that has to be addressed before we begin losing members.

Yup. I'm about out of patience.

If something I built worked like this...

[forthlin]

It takes a good 30 seconds for me. I didn't have this problem until a couple weeks ago.

Same here. You'd think, at least, someone could admit that there is a problem, and that they are working on fixing it.

Dave knows and has acknowledged there's a problem and it's being addressed.

But as I've mentioned before, intermittent problems are the hardest to diagnose.

Everybody's heard the horror stories of cars taken to multiple shops, and the problem was never repaired even though every possible part was replaced.

Eventually, with enough skill, logic, and perseverance applied, the real problem is found and corrected...

For instance: certain late-model GM trucks have insane intermittent electronic problems, throwing dozens of seemingly unrelated codes. ONE GUY finally traced the problem to an intermittent poor ground connection on the main cable (a poor-design issue), and now the fix is common knowledge.

much better today

For me, some actions today are blazingly fast, some still hang, but not as bad as at other times.

I logged on late last night when only a few other folks were on, and it was really fast, just like the old days, so I thought the number of users logged on might have something to do with the slowdown.

Unfortunately, as soon as that thought had cleared my mind, it started hanging again so badly I couldn't even log out.

There are other forums running on the same software. Might be time to contact some of their admins and ask if they're having similar problems.

I DID see one similar forum was displaying the same error message I sometimes get here...

[Tabbysdaddy]

Much worse for me. Now my phone will sleep before the next page loads. It's set to sleep after one minute of inactivity.

This has nothing to do with the new server, since we never migrated to it as there were problems with the transfer. This is an internal problem that Dave is trying to track down. Sometimes, it is like finding a needle in a haystack. Be patient. Go build something.

Intermittent problems are always the hardest to find . Be patient guys.

I’m sure it is, I never complain or it’s rare. I have high speed cable internet and it’s really slow..
