Slow?

For me the pages are loading really slow, and I have to load them one at a time. Could this be a problem with my ISP? All other sites seem to open fine?

Re: Slow?

Hard to say. I mean...we did UPGRADE to a much faster server.

Give it time, there is always the chance of a kink in the system between you and our server.

Sorry you are having problems!

Re: Slow?

it's been much slower here as well, but now that my DNS has refreshed, it has gotten faster, although still not as fast as it was before the "move"

Re: Slow?

Yeah I noticed it was quite a bit slower on my end as well as soon as the board came back up. Everytime I clicked something it would hang up, and take 10 to 15 seconds to open a page. I was expecting to see a 404 everytime, but then it would finally get there.

It's a little better now, but still slow. I'm hoping it gets back to normal somehow...

Agreed.

It's much like dial-up now, for me (have DSL). Much slower than before. Sometimes 5 or more seconds before a new page appears after clicking a thread. Even then the new page takes some more time to finish loading.

Re: Slow?

You guys who are experiencing slowness, have your DNS' been updated?

I can honestly say i'm not seeing or experiencing any slowness whatsoever from the new server.

it was actually quicker before my DNS updated....it's been getting progressively slower all day, although now it seems to be "ok". When I say ok, it's still not as quick as it was before the upgrade, but quicker then its been all day.

I changed my stored link to http://64.65.63.61/forums when I got the first message about the DNS that might not be updated. Does that bypass any DNS issue?

The individual forums seem to come up okay (though slower than before), but clicking to read a thread can take a long time. I just replied to a thread in LT1 Tech that took over 15 seconds to repaint after I clicked reply. Never had that kind of slow response before.
Just tried another random thread in LT1 Tech and it took almost 20 seconds to show the thread after I clicked it. It's not always that long, though.

Not trying to be a whiner, just letting you know what is happening.

Re: Slow?

Seems slow here too. DNS has updated, everything is working seemlessly, but a little slower than everything else (5Mbit connection, BTW).

That really doesn't matter. The server is in the same datacenter facility in Miami, FL.

Re: Slow?

The slowness for me is when I click on individual threads also. My computer will load the camaroz28.com lightning fast, but sometimes it takes about 10 seconds to load a thread. I don't know if that can narrow anything down?
I'm not complaining though, just want you guys to know what up.

*Man, I can't believe I'm in the day and age were I'm complaining about 9 seconds, its like Dane Cook's joke about the future.*

Right now, my computer is loading the stuff faster than yesterday, if that helps.

Re: Slow?

Thought I'd chime in too. The site is alot slower for me now than before the move. And at various times the pages/site will just freeze up, and not show anything at all.
