Thanks, Ted. We have not stopped working on things here, we really do appreciate the reports and info. Chevycobb, you're so right. That's totally the scenario here.

 

For me, the speed here has just not been an issue. There is the occasional page that doesn't load... I hit "refresh" and it comes up. I know that's not perfect, but it's completely acceptable IMO. I've been on plenty of other sites that do the same thing and it's never bothered me at all.

 

sigh

 

That looks like an ad misbehaving, as the rest of the forum has loaded properly. Did it continue happening? Have you had better performance since yesterday?

 

Why is this site such a problem? Honestly, I don't get it. I view other IB forums (i.e, Corvette Forum) and they work just fine. What is so hard about mirroring their setup to this one? Why is this site constantly so slow? I want to come to this site, but you're not letting me.

I'm not trying to nit-pick. I know the site changed servers, and ownership, but I figured after a month or two of people bitching, posting screenshots, that someone would take a hint and fix it. We're just asking for a site to load.

EDIT: Tonight was the first night that I haven't noticed any consistent slow downs.

 

It took me 5 times to get the message board to load this morning.

 

Havent had any problems with the site loading.

 

I just checked the logs, don't see anything unusual What was happening when you tried to get here?

next time, could you please open a command prompt and type pathping CamaroZ28.Com - The Ultimate Source for ALL Camaro News, Info, and Community then paste the full results here?

 

When I first logged on this morning the main forum page loaded fine. When I tried to access this particular thread the screen just hung for 30-45 seconds and when I pressed refresh it loaded fine.

I'm not a web person but I suspect a caching issue or a particular site component (like a particular ad) delaying things from time to time. Intermittent issues can be tough to find. When I pulled up the site right now it was fine.

 

hey Ted,

Thanks again for the report.

@One Wicked Element: I don't have an answer for you. I am not a tech guy, and I, like you feel that it should be something that can just be 'fixed'. However I guess the reality is that it's not like there is an on and an off switch. There are a lot of variables. Server type, networking connections, database server, even small things like different versions of php, or mysql on the underlying servers can create unforeseen issues. I do know that we are working hard to literally rule out every single variable one by one, hence the time it's taking for resolution.

There have been small changes made here at CZ28 every single day this week, but based on the reports from this morning, we haven't found the root cause yet. We'll keep looking until we do.

cheers,
robb

 

You are talking over my head here.

 

I just got the same one Camride posted a couple weeks ago

 

FWIW nothing has changed. I haven't been posting updates since I'm not on here much anymore. But I logged into the Lounge this morning and it took a solid 40+ seconds to load, and the Site Suggestions forum took 20-30 seconds.

I really hope you guys are able to get the issue fixed. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

 

Robb, I'm not trying to be a *****, but you guys are destroying this site. It took years & lots of hard work to get it to where is was before IB bought it. Sure, there was the occasional hiccup, but these ads & ridiculous hang times are driving people away. If I were the one that bought this site, I'd put it back the way it was until the problem can be figured out. You have to keep the users happy or they'll stop coming here.

 

Thank you for saying what needed to be said.
