Just A Question? - EvBoard

Sweet Tigger · 02-29-2008, 11:09 PM

I find it strange, that whenever I want to change threads, or
just click on something, its very slow.

I'm wondering if its the actual site, or my computer!?!

Does anyone else have this problem?

( I just want to know, if maybe I should have my comp looked
at, or if its actually fine )

This can be deleted afterwards, I just wanted some feedback!

I notice the site to be very slow on occasion, I end up having to leave the site for a few hours and come back. Sometimes the page doesn't even load at all!

i think it is more likely your internet connection, i had major problems with it being very very slow, however as my area line was changed it is all good and fast. i do find some threads take longer to open depending on size and or image content on the page.

Hmm, well, it's not my computer because I can tell when it's playing up. Sometimes if I just want to go to the User CP the page refuses to load for me, then a few hours later it's fine again...

hummm I'm not sure. I havn't had any issues with it since TOB sold it. it could possibly be your connection, or the site. I'm generally on sporatically during the day so, not sure.

I don't have any problems with page loading either, so yes probably it's your connection Trina.

I suspect it's the same problems that have been going on for years. This place has always had random short duration slowdowns. They got a lot worse (and then nearly everyone noticed them) back around the time the board got too big for the backups, and then again when the indexes got too big and the database ground to a near-halt. ToB fixed the last two but I don't believe he ever found a cause to the random slowdown issues. I still see them randomly, I just come back 10 minutes or so later and they have usually stopped.

I think it depends on the computer and the internet service. Like, my internet service is netzero...it's slow. But I have a newer computer, so it's tolerable!!!!

It could be multiple things. You could have a lot of programs open on your computer and slowing everything down. Your Internet connection could be suffering from connection problems. Your Internet hosts could be having problems on their end. Our server could be undergoing maintenance or at high capacity levels at the time you are on. There are so many things that can factor into this. We do monitor site performance and there hasn't been any prolonged issues surrounding the site that we are aware of.
