S-L-O-W forum?
Posted by jimbot58 on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 3:24 AM

I have noticed a problem with the forum: Often, due to my work schedule, family commitments, and general insomnia, I don't visit here until the early hours. I find the forum pages slow to load or not loading at all. Sometimes a page will load only halfway and stop. Other sites are fine and even testing connections on my end show everything working properly. Is there some problem with the servers at FSM? As of this moment, only 7 people show as being on-line so I don't see it as a traffic or volume issue. It can be a bit frustrating at times.

On my workbench now:

It's all about classic cars now!

Why can't I find the "Any" key on my keyboard?

I'm on GMT, so plenty of my time on here is spent on what would be early morning in the US & can't say that I've noticed a problem other than the generally slow page loading in comparison to most other forums.

One thing that I have noticed is that there are a few signatures with animated images (GIF's I'm assuming) that slow pages loading & cause a scroll lock / slow down when they are viewed - most are fine but there are a few that may take about 10>15 seconds from appearing to disappearing from the screen when I scroll over them......................

Much of the slow issues are related not to the forum itself but at the viewers end. ISP connections, browser problems and issues with clogged memory caches.
